Hooray, I finally recieved a copy of the Panther Band East Coast Tour itinerary! It's only tentative but so far, looks pretty exciting. I just have to figure out the time factor thing and make sure I can get a daily story back to my newspaper. Fortunately, I see that by 10 p.m. we are back at the hotel every night -- which means 7 p.m. California time -- giving me a good two hours to write and turn in my story each time. I'll also check with the hotels ahead of time and see if they offer high speed connection.
