I was thinking the same thing, it will be dark. I am ok dogless, and am pretty centrally located so can travel anywhere (my house is a tiny disaster area, though, and is not a good meeting place).
I created a facebook event with my address on it, friend request me if you want to go (and I didn't invite you already because I missed your name or we're not friends) and send me a message to send you the invite. Sara Brueske in Coon Rapids, MN.
