YAAAAAAAAAAY! That means I can absolutely attend again.  With the other dates, there was a conflict that would have caused much groveling and presents at the feet of my wife otherwise.   Much happiness on my part!

In the US the day following  Tax Freedom Day  should be the holiday celebrated by workers. April 22nd this year (...being the first day of 2014 US workers were working for themselves instead of paying for some level of government).
