> also, i will be in the wilmington delaware area for that week, is there anything worth doing around there?

I worked in wilmington out of a hotel for 8 months a decade or more ago. Answer: not really.

They do have at least one live music venue (i saw a couple of folky things there), but better luck in Philly or DC. Philly is reachable by cheap train and car.
