    Alll RRiigghhttt!!!! I've never been to a concert in Cinci yet. This year I have tickets for one in Boston.

    If yo can ever make one in Cinci they are said to be the best. For some reason we have an an unusally high concentration of Parrot Heads It is on my to do list for when I move home in less than a year. I can't wait.

    Yess. I'm very much hoping to join in on the reading this summer & next month's read, as well as the 4th of July read. Whee! ^_^ I've "found" this forum a few times, but I finally joined in May, and I was unable to participate due to lack of time & AP testing.

    Oh, good nobody has voted for "The Sea" yet. Took it to the beach last summer, and it bored me to death. I read on nevertheless as I didn't want to go back and fetch another one. I thought it might get a bit more exciting in the middle ... or at the end. Well, it didn't.

    Scher, I wouldn't be surprised if you like To The Lighthouse. It is not like Orlando, which I hear people didn't like.

    I've never read any Virginia Woolf. Hmm...
