Late notice, but does anyone want to go to the Cherry Blossom festival next weekend?

If so, let's pick a date/time.

I would love to come... but alas, I live in the wrong state! :(

I might be up for this. I'm not sure how much blossom there will be due to this unseasonably warm Spring. I also might geek out over plants. I'm just warning y'all.

There's some information about what's in bloom here. There might be more; I'll have to check later (on my way out the door now).

This is what it looks like today. I'm not against it at all, I'm just saying don't be expecting much in the way of cherry blossoms.

Well, you know, there's also cultural stuff, and food and music and whatnot.

Possible. This is near where I live. But I agree that the cherry blossoms will be well past their peak and perhaps gone altogether.

There didn't seem to be much interest. However, the weather is supposed to be lovely on Sunday.

So, Sunday? Is anyone interested?

I'm interested, but I have other possible plans - which may or may not involve donuts. Mmmmm donuts.
