The airport to fly into for the hepfest is
Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP), we will do pickups from the airport and
plenty of people will have cars so there is no need to rent one
unless you want to go and do some sightseeing while here. Last year
people carpooled for rides to and from the hotels and sightseeing
(don't miss the Mall of America).

    I have a large house and yard with a swimming
pool and a hot tub so swimsuits are a must! Actually you may swim in
any attire if you are too shy to get into a swimsuit. There is also a
public park across the street if the crowd gets too large, but I think
we will be fine. We had 98 here last year with plenty of room left.

    We will take turns cooking meals and a hat will
be passed to cover the grocery bill. This isn't mandatory, this is only
if you can afford it. I don't want anyone to feel that they can't afford
to come. If you can't afford a hotel, of course you are welcome to camp
here but you need to let me know if that is your plan. There is plenty
of yard space for tenting. A motor home could be parked on the driveway too.

    A list of the hotels that are closest to my house
are listed at the end of this note. They are all less than a mile from me
and are all grouped together. The city they are in is Brooklyn Center I
live only a couple of blocks from the border of Brooklyn Center. I have
listed national toll free numbers for some of them along with the local numbers.

    Sending warm thoughts and prayers for everyone in
their continuing fight against Hepatitis.
