At 12:28pm on June 8, 2009, kristine said…: Hi Jess, I'm trying to put the highlander groups together in the next couple of days, and am just checking in to see if you want to be included in one or not. I think they're going to be around 5 people each, and each group will decide together how they want to schedule their own story-telling meetings...it could be that people want to spend one entire day together, or meet once a week or whatever.

If you could let me know today or tomorrow if you're interested or not, and if so, what your availability looks like, when you'll be out of town this summer, etc. I'll take that into account when I organize the groups. Also let me know if you and Dan specifically want to or don't want to be in the same group. THANKS! Hope to see you soon!

At 1:20pm on May 8, 2009, kristine said…: Jess, great to see you last night! I thought it was a great event...how did you feel about it?

I just read Digitech. Thanks for that. ... .....

Hey, I hope you and/or Dan can make the Highlander Session this Sunday. I'm sure you're exhausted....I think it's going to be one of those things that feeds us though...so I hope you come!
