You know, I was telling one of the other guys who lives down there that I’ve got friends in the area! That’s SUCH a bum! I could have rolled a dopefest and a visit into one trip, had I known! Damn.

You are going to LA for **Coldie’s** visit and I’m buying you a ticket.

Do you want to fly out Friday and leave Sunday, or would you like to come in early Saturday morning?

Send me your address so I can mail your ticket.
