Jeff, Sounds like you put together one hell of a party. Unfortunately, I am going to have to miss it, as I had the opportunity to go to Amsterdam and bother Coldfire the same weekend. I really had to debate on it…Amsterdam? Or Alexandria? The process took…about 3/10th of a second. Sorry, everyone, I’ll see y’all at the next one. ---

I sure hope the weather will cooperate. I’ll pick up as much party food as I can, including some without meat. Money’s pretty tight until the 19th, so I’d appreaciate any volunteers to bring additional food. Better to have too much than too little. ---

Jeff, if you’ve still got room, you can add Peta Tzunami and me to the list. And we’d be happy to bring food–will boiled cabbage and potatoes be OK? 🙂 ---
