Hi Jay, It will be great to see you and the wife. Maybe we can get a few more from the City to come along. A few from the East Bay have already said they are coming, along with some from the North Bay. Hoping for 20-30 cars. I'm staying in Mill Valley at George Slater's cottage. By the way on that Sunday Stern Grove has Boz Skaggs and Michael McDonald as open this years free concerts, should be a great way to end up the 356 weekend.
