Glockster Lobster Clamster Fester 2009 Fandango

This message may look familiar... in fact, except for the date change, it's identical to my 3 June rant, and I'm sending it out again because only one person responded with answers to these queries (see #1-4 below) -- thank you Mary!

The rest of you slackers, we need to know how many Lobs and Clamps to invite over for a sauna, if you get my drift.

Yah, I know, there's time. But there's also "no time like the present." Write right now-ish!

The Lobstah Czah
The Lobstah Czah who?
The Lobstahs ah coming to Glockster, that's who!!!

SANEsters,

Yes, the date has been set, and that date is Saturday, 1 August 2009 (this is the revised date, and is correct), and the SANEsters will once again gather at Betsey & Mike's summertime seaside manse.

This makes the eleventh year in the row - the first being 1999 -- that we've ascended (or if your Southocentric, descended) upon Glockster for this event, so be sure to bring lots and lots and scads and bunches of lobsterania - apparel items, inflatables, statues of lobsters carved out of monkey-pod wood, truckloads of authentic reproduction lobster traps, etc. Oh, wait, wait, there's a late news bulletin: A quick note from Betsey, and it's "DON'T BRING ANY MORE DANG LOBSTER CRAP" -- so forget all that, never mind.

Please advise:
 1) how many are coming in your party
 2) how many lobsters your party would like to consume
 3) how many in your party would like to knock back a few clams
 4) whether it was appropriate for Cheney to waterboard Rumsfeld the day after Rummy left office.

As far as what else to bring, since we always all bring the same dang thing anyway every year, why mess wif' success? Bring it on! Power to the people (right on!).

There is some concern that we bring too much. So bring whatcha brought last time (and for the last umpty years), only don't bring too much.

I hope that's clear.

We'll probably want to arrive anytime after noon, for clamsters at 2ish, lobsters after that-ish, and swimmage and strollage options throughout the day.

Maps and applications for security clearances will be forthcoming. Chances are most SANE members would be approved without much delay.

It's Offishal

Thank you all for your flexibility.
