[wplug-plan] wplug picnic in august?

[duncanhutty at comcast.net]

sounds like a great idea. and lots of good reasons to do it there.
I, characteristically, have to be non-commital so far; I can't seem to plan anything more than a couple of days ahead, let alone 3 months! But I'd love to come along.
