I have the strangest excuse for not being able to show up: I will be at the Venice Carnival. I have a feeling that Cari's Messenger Service, Inc. isn't all that cheap
Certainly willing to pay for the violin - how much? . . . that is a question to which I don't have an honest answer even for myself.
I'm coming! Despite the fact that none of my friends can make it, so I'll have to come all by myself... But hopefully I'll meet some new people. I will be easy to recognise, thanks to my renowned leather hotpants - and war paints, naturally. Please come to say hi, if you see me!
