MCM will be there!!!!

Look for Mr. D at the show.

Mr. D?

He used to be Father D.

Did he get demoted? :P

Seriously, we're looking forward to keeping "D." busy, regardless of his rank!

Sorry his boss (the big Kahuna) couldn't make it, too. We're barbeque-ing pineapple burgers (after the event) in his honor! ;)
