I got my mailing the other day

I emailed them to see if I could get some information about schedules and such. They should have had it up and running way before now. Also, I didn't realize that the show was running Friday and Saturday. That is not a good thing but I am waiting until I hear from them with actual dates and times before I make a decision. When they used to do Saturday and Sunday shows, Saturday was the big day and sunday was the day that everyone packed up and thinned out before 10:00 am and headed home. I won't be able to make it up on Friday, early enough to enjoy the show so Saturday will be the day to drive up and watch everyone pack up and call it a weekend. If that is the case I will have to re-think this one. When I get an update I will post it.

This is what I got from them. They seem to be having web problems, which doesn't sound good. Hope it doesn't hurt the show too much...

I hope you're all planning to come to Milwaukee this weekend for the Ghostships Festival?

Checkout: http://www.ghost-ships.org/ghostships/

My group (Michigan Shipwreck Research Associates) will be there presenting our discovery of the SS Michigan, which we located in Lake Michigan in June 2005. She sank in 1885 after a 40 day orderal stuck in the ice.

MSRA also located (or re-located, since we believe it was found by a salvor in the 80s) the car ferry Ann Arbor no. 5 during the 2005 search season.

Our part of the show is at 4:00 PM Saturday, plus we'll have an exhibit booth all weekend.

I hope to see all you cold water divers at Ghostships this weekend, March 24-25 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Alas, I will be at the Underwater Archaeological Society of Chicago's booth during that time so I can watch our presentation on Chicagolands wreck wealth at 5:00...fill me in on the details later...ok? ...Actually, I think I have seen the film a few times already, and can attest that it is well worth watching! Who did you hire to do all that great acting??
