It's on. Location in Orange County to be announced shortly. Mark your
calendars. Also, reply in here so we know how many to expect.

As always, all are welcome. We don't care what race you are, what color you
are, what God you worship, what political party you vote for, or even what
team you root for.

Show up, have a good time, talk some trash, have your picture taken, etc...

Dimitri, I spoke with the OC Gestapo, and they said they're willing to make
an exception for you this time.

I'm there, so long as there's no 21-and-older rule!

Hey Dust -- REMEMBER WHO SHUT DOWN THE ALAMODOME!

"The Blazers will BEAT the Lakers in six games. First round. Done!"
-- Rob Carpenter

Back when the Lakers were beating the Indiana Pacers in the 2000 NBA
Finals, Pacers guard Reggie Miller went to teammate Dale Davis, who
was guarding Shaquille O'Neal most of the series because frail
7-foot-4 center Rik Smits wanted little part of it. Miller smiled and said
to Davis: "Now you know what it was like for us all those years with Michael."

I'll tell them you are my son. You should be able to get a Shirley Temple.

No go. I'm going to be in Puerto Vallarta from 6/8 to 6/12 for the solar
eclipse. I hope our hotel has TVAzteca.

It's too late for P.V. (I made the mistake of going in the summer a few
years ago.) You're going to suffer in the heat. Pass on it. We
need you at the party.

Besides, hasn't Alson already seen enough of them?

Hey Alson, I did a picture of one for you:

Puerto Vallarta will be nothing compared to Kurdistan in August, or the
Australian outback this December.

Heh. Actually, to be a true umbraphile one has to spend 30 minutes in the
lunar shadow. I'm only up to eight so far.

This is what a solar eclipse really looks like:

Hey!

If 21 and older can't come, then Larry and I are out.

Shoot, he must be about 65, right?

Count me in. I've taped every Laker playoff game for the last three
seasons so I would like to get Sunday's game on tape as well. My VCR is
ancient and I don't trust it to function properly without manually
monitoring it so I am off to Circuit City or Best Buy today to pick up a
new one. I will test the timer on games one and two. I'm a little like
the anal retentive chef on Saturday Night Live when it comes to getting
the games on tape. I'll work it out and see all of you Sunday.

Tentatively, this party will be held at the Irvine Hyatt Regency, near the
John Wayne Airport. The sports bar there is called Knuckles, and I have
confirmed that they have a large screen tv.

They don't open until 5 today, so I'll have to call and see if we can
reserve a table or three. Otherwise, we'll need a volunteer to show up
early and stake out our territory. Game time is 5:30 I believe, so an hour
early should probably do it. I can possibly make it there that early, but
it's not a guarantee.

It's just Alson's excuse for getting drunk and carousing in exotic
locales. He's got an image to protect.

Yeah... and I'm sure I can pick up the prescription in Tijuana.

Of course, if we stopped spending so much money on medicine, then what would

For clarification:

Kurdistan - August 1999. Temperature 104 degrees at start of eclipse.
Australia - December 2001. Temperature likely to be in the high 90s or low
100s.

The next total solar eclipse after Australia this year will be Antarctica in
November 2003, which I'm going to skip ($40K to freeze your ass off for two
weeks).
