Meals
The ale will provide a picnic lunch on Saturday, and a dinner/feast Saturday evening. Hosts will provide breakfasts for out-of-town guests.

There will be T-shirts. This year's design, once again by A.J. Liuba, is:
T-shirts cost $13 each. (There may be a $1 surcharge for sizes XXL and larger, depending on the vendor's policy.)
The T-shirt order has already been placed. We have ordered some extras (mostly sizes L and XL), which we will sell at the ale on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Weather
The ale will happen rain or shine. (One year we danced during a major storm that dumped 10" of rain on us.) However, when and where we dance may depend on the weather. (The forecast calls for scattered showers and a chance of a thunderstorm.)
Here is the latest weather forecast for Boston and vicinity.
