in your vehicle for an extra person, or if you will need a ride to the event,
please let me know at <a href="mailto:dreadpiratekate@gmail.com" target="_blank">dreadpiratekat@gmail.com</a>
so I can coordinate those who need a ride with those who have a seat. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <br>**Also, one individual has asked if someone has space in
their vehicle for his armor and weapons (spear included).<span style=""> </span>If you do, please let me know so I can put
