Subj:	Time to RSVP for the Pig Roast!


	WANTED:	Centrally located mid-size home w/large yard and
		timid neighbors. 2 bathrooms a must. plastic 
		covered interior, hot tub, firehose a plus. Rotted
		decks need not apply. By June 22nd.

    Remember a few messages back when I said we would load Lew's Honda onto
 the brand new deck?  Kind of gave you the impression that the deck actually
 existed, right?  Well that's what I thought based on the stuff Lew was telling
 me.  But, to paraphrase an old motto, the road to hell is paved with good
 impressions.  In actual fact, the deck is in even worse shape than it was
 before (mostly because it's partially disassembled).  So the Pig Roast is once
 more without location, in search of a generous if naive volunteer.

    But don't let that worry you!  The massive celebration of the end of spring
 and the beginning of summer, a swell swilling of swine and spirits, will go as
 planned (except it won't go on where it was planned).  In fact, now is your
 chance to commit yourself to attending this full-tilt, action packed gathering
 of friendly folk.  Just RSVP to me, and soon.  In fact, reply to this message
 as soon as you get it!  Just tell me the following:

	[1]  How many people will be attending!

	[2]  How many people will be consuming the slow roasted pig meat that
	     is the centerpiece of the celebration (followed by the beer)!

	[3]  What sort of side dish you might bring (you don't necessarily
	     have to have one in mind, but you should bring one)!

	[4]  Most anything else you might want me to know.

 The RSVP is a vital part to this whole affair, since it gives us a number that
 we can use to base our random guess at the size of the pig required on.  Too
 little in the way of porcine protein is a disaster!

    So, just to reiterate, this is the OFFICIAL NOTICE to RSVP!  If you've
 stopped by or sent mail earlier saying you were coming, then be sure to RSVP
 again! (Just in case I have already forgotten the conversation.)

    WHAT:  PIG ROAST!!
    WHEN:  Noon, Saturday JUNE 22nd!
     WHY:  The last gasp of Spring, the new Summer, a juxtaposition of stars!
   WHERE:  You'll know soon!

 Some last notes:

  [1] RSVPing is a sacred oath that you will show up.  If it is a maybe, just
     say so.

  [2] Friday, June 21st at 10:00pm two things will happen.  The cooking fires
     for the pig will be lit, the first keg will be tapped, and the pig will
     be strapped to the pole.  Oops, that's three things.  Come out and party
     if you're free.

  [3] Applications for cooks are being taken!  Qualifications: showing up some
     time during the night/morning hours to turn the pig and tend the fires.

  [4] Generous donations of wood are also needed.  If you have extra, let us
     know!

  [5] Directions will be coming soon, as soon as Chuck, Lew and I talk someone
     into the experience of a lifetime!

  [6] Does anyone have a Slip'n'Slide?

  [7] June is a hot month.  Come prepared for ridiculously perfect weather!

  [8] Does anyone want to drive down to NYC and pick up Alice's Gang?

  [9] I was on vacation for two weeks, which is why there were no earlier
     reminders.  And don't listen to Blaine, I'm not engaged.

 [10] If this is your first message, then thank your lucky stars since someone
     remembered you just in time!

 [11] The end.  Now RSVP!
