I meant to get to this days ago, but now the invitations should be arriving and it's about time I updated our site with a few more details. So looking forward to the big day, can't wait to see you all!
I'm not sure what the etiquette is, but for those of you that I didn't specify a guest, please feel free to bring one.
For those coming out of town:
I repasted the accommodations I've reserved below. I'll hold the rooms until August 17th. There is a music festival in town that weekend, so most other rooms in Lotus are taken. Placerville is a good option (but not every hotel, email if you need a recommendation), and even the Rock Creek Inn in Georgetown (I think that's the name-google is down at the moment so moving on). I'd recommend that you avoid staying in Auburn, it appears to be a short distance away but it is a long and twisty road.
For those from here but driving far:
There is room to have a few tents at the Hansen's, if people would like to bring their setup so they don't have to drive home after the festivities - please come stay. If you do plan to do that, please send me an email [ mah_young@hotmail.com ].
