The bookcart drill team championship sounds like the Best Thing Ever. I saw something about it in American Libraries a few months ago and thought it sounded fantastic. Also, Neil Gaiman!

(And grilled pizza sounds delicious—although it seems the crust would be less fluffy than if it were baked . . .)

Have a great time! ^_^

(In other news, I'm now three-quarters-ish through S3 of Buffy. It's far too addicting! I blame four things: DW has made me heart sci-fi/fantasy telly, I love the characters/dialogue, the occasional silliness is so much fun [and gleeful!], and last—but certainly not least—GILES.)


Edit because I clicked "post" instead of "preview" and didn't parenthesise properly.
