Snow Totoro!



Well, technically Totoro is a couple of blocks away.

I drive past this house on my way home from work every day and I just get this huge grin on my face every time.

Coming Soon...

As SpringChick announced on the Great Lakes Yahoo! board this morning, I will be hosting the Great Lakes Gathering 2008 in Minnesota. This is the first year that Minnesota has the gathering and will definitely be the biggest gathering in Minnesota letterboxing history (at least so far). The one this past October was about 30 people. Attendance at the annual "Big" gathering is usually 100+. So if anyone is looking for some place to visit the weekend of May 31st (hey, that's right after my birthday!), Minnesota is lovely that time of year. This weekend I'll be working on finalizing the location (probably what I'm most worried about right now) and will announce the location hopefully by Wednesday.

I'm excited about it, but definitely very nervous. It will be the biggest gathering I've hosted and I plan on enlisting the help of Minnesota letterboxers.

Those of you who have hosted large gatherings, do you have any advice?
