[penguicon-general] Penguicon 7: May 2-4, 2009?

[LadySarah]

FWIW - Traption used to overlap Beltane and that was never a big deal.  I
suspect Pagans don't feel the need to be home and around family for Beltane
like Christians want to be home for Easter and Jews for Passover.

*snerk* Knowing how Beltane is traditionally celebrated the above sentence
becomes very silly.  Sorry about that.
