[Heeplist] Alexandra and Annapolis

I'm curious- have any of the Heep guys mentioned- or has anyone asked them-
about the likelihood of them doing the cruise next year?  We are a week and
a half out from seeing them here in SoCal, so we will certainly ask about
it.  We are booked on the cruise already because we wanted to get one of
the lesser priced rooms before they sold out. I was thinking like you Bob-
I wanted a nice room with the balcony, etc., but when you think about it,
how much time are you really going to be spending in the room?  The first 3
cruises there were 20-25 bands doing 2-3 shows each.  I saw the schedule
and from about 11:00AM until 1:00AM or so, it is nonstop shows in 3 venues.
Plus everything else there is to do.  Anyway, we ended up with an inside
cabin on deck 10 for $1,100.00 a person.  Not great, but not bad, either.
Anyway, if Heep does do next year, it would be great to meet up with some
Heepsters.
