The die is cast, folks. The list below is final (unless I missed or forgot someone, in which case I’ll add em, but nobody new after this)

\*Date and Time: \*June 14, 2003, starting roughly at noon and going until whenever  
_Place:_ Casa Dave-Guy.  
_Cost per Adult:_ Five bucks.

If you have folding chairs or lawn chairs, you might want to bring them. Also, maybe another grill. I’ll supply the charcoal.

Playground facilities close by for wee ones (and the young at heart).

**Definites**  
DAVEW0071 – three adults, cookies and two pies  
RTFirefly – one adult, maybe two, black bean salsa  
Gorgon Heap/Acrylic Vessel – two adults, chicken and Jell-O shots  
tkeana – two adults, homemade brownies  
MsRobyn/Airman Doors – two adults, chips and “mun-cheez”  
FriendBill/HelenWheels – two adults, macaroni salad  
Eutychus/Persephone – two adults, Hawaiian Tuna salad  
Biggirl and Co. – Four adults, beer  
Beerchick – one adult, fruit salad, potato salad, grilling veggies  
MannyL – one adult, a dessert-type thing  
Sakura’s friends from school – two adults, possibly three, dunno about side dishes  
Zappo – one adult, barrel o’ Utz and Vernor’s for Mrs. Dave-Guy  
TruePisces/Verrain – two adults, banana bread  
Little Nemo – one adult, ice cream  
Danyne and Mark – not attending, but sending homemade cornbread anyway, 'cause Danyne’s a doll.  
SueDuhnym – two adults, baked beans, maybe veggies, maybe more  
manhattan/canby – two adults, cheese, crackers, and breadage  
Spit – one adult, side dish TBA

rjk/zyada – two adults, fresh baked bread-type stuff  
Billdo – two adults, side dish TBA, possibly Italian bread  
Weirddave/GingerOfTheNorth – two adults, side dish TBA  
Mom and Dad Woo – two adults, maybe watermelon, if I ask 'em  
Cosmopolitan – one adult, green salad  
Morgyn – two adults, fruit salad, if she takes my suggestion  
OxyMoron – one adult, bananer puddin

**Sunday Brunch**  
Time: Morning-ish. Y’know. Whatever…

**Attendees:**  
Zappo  
Euty/Persephone  
RTFirefly  
tkeana  
Spit  
Anita Vacation  
TruePisces/Verrain  
MsRobyn/Airman Doors  
Gorgon Heap/Acrylic Vessel(?)  
Danyne/Mark(?)  
Dave/Gingy(?)

There is still a need for people to let me know what they’re bringing, and please get your five dollars per person to me ASAP. I’m going to order the ribs early next week, and there is still much to get in terms of ingredients, etc. So having that money in hand would take much pressure off my purse.

Just to let folks know, I’ve also received payments from **Sue Duhnym, Morgyn, OxyMoron** and **Verrain/TruePisces**.

I think that’s everyone, but I’m in Philadelphia right now, and can’t actually check (or checque) who exactly has sent me money.

I will be ordering a mess o’ ribs from the Rib Pimp on either Monday or Tuesday, to be picked up Thursday.

Rain or shine, this is going to happen, folks. _Casa Dave-Guy_ will never be the same.

Mrs. Teasdale will be sorely missed.

**Ginger** , are you seriously talking about actually camping out in my backyard? It’s doable, if that’s what you’d like, no problem at all. If you’re talking about pulling up a corner of the floor and crashing, that’s another story. We’re not sure if a couple of high school friends are crashing as well. But the backyard is unclaimed territory, and there’s flat enough space. Bring an assortment of fruit, okay? Grapes, strawberries, raspberries…we’ll just dump 'em in a bowl and let people pick.

**Euty** , there’s no doubt that property values plummeted the day we moved in.

**Dave** , we’re good right now and we think that if we survive Saturday retetively intact we can come back down to help out with the brunch Sunday. Let us know if you would like us to bring anything.

Also, I’m coordinating **RT** so he can crash at our place.

Looks like we’ll be there for the brunch. Talked to the Car-Giving People (AKA, **Verrain’s** parents) and it looks like we’ll be able to borrow the car. Now off to make reservations at a hotel for the night. Days Inn in Nanuet, right?

Brunch is on us. Mrs. Dave-Guy will be making “Breakfast for a Bunch” which is a quiche-like affair, with eggs, bacon, cheese, that kind of good breakfasty stuff, and I’ll be making a bagel run to fetch fresh, hot bagels. We’ll have cream cheese, of course, and a coffee cake or some such thing, plus coffee, tea and juice.

**Ginger** , if you guys want to camp out in my backyard, you go right ahead.

**TruePisces** , I believe Days Inn is where all the cool (not to mention perverted) kids are staying, yes. Ask **Zappo**.

Sheesh, I almost forgot.

Spoke with the rib pimp this morning. Ordered 18 racks, which should be enough to feed 54 people. So we should be covered.

Pickin’ up the meat on Thursday.

Actually, as I review the guest list, it should be duly noted that if certain attendees’ racks were **un** -covered, that might feed another-
