From: TECRUS::WEISENBACH "Outlets for hostility... 11-Jun-1992 2307" 11-JUN-1992 23:14:13.78 To: @PIG.DIS CC: Subj: Pig Roast directions! Noon on Saturday! Okay, here are the directions again, for the last time. Don't delete this if you plan on attending, because then you won't know how to get there. And now some last notes: [1] The weather for Saturday is looking good. I'm guessing that the burning chocolate and chanting, along with a stationary high over the Ohio Valley, has done a lot to ensure a hot summer day. [2] Actually, the ritual described in the earlier message was incorrect. It was pointed out to me that a more potent spirit, as it were, to deliver the message in true voodoo-type fashion would be 151 in place of the vodka. It apparently makes a prettier flame as well. That reminds me of these lines from a song: "Boys and girls gather pearls of wisdom dropping from his mouth; wash off the blood, wash off the 151." [3] Remember to bring a bathing suit and sunscreen. The Surgeon General recommends this now that the Rio thing fell apart. [4] Why bring a bathing suit? Two reasons: Slip-n-SlideŠ and the hot tub. I have the Slip-n-SlideŠ all ready, maybe a tournament will be organized. As for the hot tub... [5] As for the hot tub, well, Lew was doing Last Rites over it not too long ago. But out of nowhere stepped Don Sollars, Bondo-man himself, with the answer. A novice host, Don has distinguished himself by not only agreeing to hold a jam session at the Pig Roast, but by valiantly standing in two inches of water while slathering marine bondo over the rude gashes in Lew's hot tub. So while it originally looked like the tub would be out of commission for the Pig Roast, it now appears that it will make this last stand and go out in style. [6] Speaking of hosts, remember to thank your hosts at the Roast as they step in front of you in the beer line. They are: ** Lew Lahr ** Chuck Benz ** Alan Cave ** Don Sollars/Dianna Sleeper ** Chris Mayer ** Blaine Stackhouse ** Chris Schreepel ** and your emcee, me. [7] So that's it, see you Saturday rain or shine! Bring a side-dish, sunscreen, bathing suit, an appetite, a thirst, something to sit on, bug spray, etc. And have fun. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ * The Pig Roast will be at #26 Fairview Drive, Southboro MA. The phone * * number is 508-460-8024. Lew might be there if you call. * Three ways to get to Lew's place: ** Route #1 Take Rt.85 south past Rt.9, crossing over the recently refurbished bridge. Make a right onto Mt. Vickery, which is the first right after CF trucking on the left. Follow this turning, treacherously twisty roadway for a ˝ a mile. The road ends at a T intersection, marked only by a large tree appearing before you (and a stop sign). Turn left at the T, onto Middle road. Follow Middle road for a short while, turning right at the first stop sign. Now you're on Parkerville street. Take the first paved left onto Fairview, ignoring the dirt road that will be before Fairview. Follow Fairview up and around. The first right is Summit street, the second right is really Fairview veering to the right. Follow Fairview around that right, #26 is the first set of mailboxes after the corner. ** Route #2 From Rt.495 and points west, take Rt.9 east. Turn right onto Parkerville street from Rt.9. Parkerville is across from the Andrea restaurant that's on the left side of Rt.9, and right over the hill marked by a big yellow sign advertising "Eagle Leasing". A small yellow caution sign marks the turn, with the STOP sign for the street also helping to make it more visible. This is a difficult turn to spot. If you don't see it, abort the maneuver and proceed to the route #3 instructions. Once on Parkerville street, Fairview is the second right. The sign is totally obscured by trees though, so be careful. Follow Fairview up and around. The first right is Summit street, the second right is really Fairview veering to the right. Follow Fairview around that right, #26 is the first set of mailboxes after the corner. ** Route #3 If you miss the turn onto Parkerville, continue on Rt.9 to the next right turn, which is right after a small, gross looking sub shop on the right. This is Middle street, appropriately named since it is in between the other two routes. Anyway, follow Middle road for a short while, turning right at the first stop sign. Now you're on Parkerville street. Take the first paved left onto Fairview, ignoring the dirt road that will be before Fairview. Follow Fairview up and around. The first right is Summit street, the second right is really Fairview veering to the right. Follow Fairview around that right, #26 is the first set of mailboxes after the corner.
