It is pretty dry here most of the time. I have a sore nose from it. I sometimes put vaseline in my nose at night and it feels a lot better in the morning. Did you ask about bringing a dog? Your email was mostly obscured by an ad. If bringing a dog is a make or break deal for you I certainly wouldn't want you to miss out but I think it would be best to keep the dog population to a minimum. So I guess the answer about the dog is "I don't know" But I really do hope you can make it. I would love to meet you and have you here with the group.
Sincerely, Judith

Subject: Re: [papercreters] Re: FIRST PAPERCRETE GROUP GATHERING
In light of earlier discussions about dogs, what's the pet/kids policy for this gathering? Is there space for them, safely out from under foot? Or will they need to stay home?

I am gonna try for this one. Can you tell me how dry it is in September? I have a problem with nosebleeds when the humidity is really low, especially at higher altitudes. But I would love to come out and join the fun.
Only potential problems I have to overcome are work (this would be my fourth "vacation" this year) and my wife, who due to health problems would not be able to join me. I will talk to both and get back as soon as I can.
I would recommend anyone who is looking into papercrete seriously to attend, there is nothing like experiencing a medium with others to stimulate your own ideas and expand your knowledge.
