I only have a Sunday membership this year.  All I could afford at the
time.  I will go down on Saturday, and give blood at the blood drive,
and stay overnight so I can get there first thing on Sunday, so I will
miss all the JMS events.  Looks like the panels I will be looking
forward to are Castle and Glee...
