From: TECRUS::WEISENBACH "Outlets for hostility... 14-Jul-1992 1845" 14-JUL-1992 18:41:04.05 To: @BATES_PIG.DIS CC: Subj: Mike Bates Memorial Pig Roast - RSVP soon! Hey! Hard to believe, but it's that time again! Another Pig Roast! This one's in honor of the inexplicable departure of Mike "I wish it were colder!" Bates, who is headed for Mother Nature's own refrigerator, Minnesota. To see him off in fine style, and to destroy what few brain cells he has left before IBM gets a hold of them, we are throwing together a quick Pig Roast. The important details: When: July 26th, a Sunday. Party starts around noon, with the suckling pig being sliced and diced around 2pm. What: Mike Bates Memorial Pig Roast. Who: You, family, loved ones. Where: Dina and Mike McKinney's house, which is somewhere in Marlborough. Directions will be sent soon. Since this their second Roast, I should probably have them somewhere... How: Same as always: RSVP with the number you'll be bringing, and plan on bringing a side dish to share. Important differences between this Roast and the others: [1] This is a smaller affair. Please do NOT forward this invite around. The focus is family and friends, so bring those little tykes out. [2] The 26th of July is, as noted, a Sunday. Thus we will try to get to an earlier start for a decidedly picnic-like atmosphere, instead of girding ourselves for the night's excessiveness. *3* The 26th OF THIS MONTH is only 12 days away, so I'm asking for RSVP's ASAP as it were. *4* The 26th OF THIS MONTH is only 12 days away, so there will not be much chance to inundate you people (oops, a Perot-ism) with pointless mail. [5] Mike is selling his house. Anyone interested? It's located just this side of paradise, and just the other side of falling property values. [6] Oh yeah! Mike and Dina have a hot tub too! I believe it is in far better shape than Lew's, which was partially disassembled last time. [7] Speaking of Lew, I think he still has some unclaimed plates and such from last month's Roast. Send him mail if you care.
