I was so planning on going too, even though I'd be in school the next 
day.  A friend and I were going to be there, until we heard this.

3 pm, I thought it'd be at 4 (I did the math because I knew that ROTK 
was going on at 11 and the other two combined would be 7 hours).  I'm 
still in school at three! :-(  all you folks that go to FOTR will 
hahve to tell me how awesoume it is!  Bad news for me.

~~loony who is wondering how in the world she is going to talk her 
parents into letting her leave early (it's a good thing I have three 
and a half months)
