Jimmy,

Currently, unless something pops up, I was hoping for Flat iron as well.
Things to do Sunday preclude a long drive or overnight. I'll probably stay
until about midnight-ish or so. IF things change, I'll post it here.

Clear Skies

Was a great night last night in North Glendale. The sky was fairly steady
out my way. Would be nice if we can get that this weekend. Saturday night
I'm planning out going out to Flat Iron for a little "marathon" practice.
Anyone else planning on going out?
