Ok, I'm going! (I've already registered and paid.) But I need to know: Should I drive up Friday night or Saturday morning? In other words, what time does it start on Saturday?

well it is officially starting Saturday morning at 8:30 am

but we are having a meet and greet Friday night (also known as Drinking 101 being taught by Lyman)

Lyman is trying to get the classrooms for that Friday night if there is enough interest for a few classes that night so we can get a jump start on it
