Hey, i was there...and it was definately a good time for all.  There
really wasn't that much rain at all.  Ann Arbor would be a great place
for Hawkwind to play anytime, Hash Bash or not.  The newly renovated
Michigan Theatre might be an ideal stop for the Hawks come their supposed
tour later this year.
