Lobsterpalooza 2012

It's that time of the SANE calendar where we gather together up north to give our thanks to the Great Clawed Ones, which we traditionally observe by consuming a representative sampling. This year we'll celebrate the 147th consecutive year we've celebrated together (not counting WWII, WWI, The Spanish American War a few of the Civil War years, and 1942, when we just plumb forgot. This year, we're holding Lobsterpalooza on Saturday, July 28, from 12ish to eveningish.

Like we've done every year, please email me with:

1) Are you attending?

If the answer is no, go straight to #6, below. We'll be sad you're not here, but that won't stop us from chatting about you, so let that be a little gentle pressure to come, if only to defend youself.
If your answer is yes (Yay!), please continue...

2) How many attendees in your party
3) How many lobsters your party wants to eat. There will be a charge per lobster, but the amount isn't fixed yet. It's cost.
4) How many servings of clamsters your party wants to gobble up.
5) What else you would like to bring, to complement lobsters, clams and granite.
6) Write a slogan for somebody you'd actually vote for for president (of something). The best slogan will be published in the Atlantic Monthly's Slogans and Other Election Hoopla issue.

Please send your replies to me, and when I get everyone's answer, I'll tabulate them and send the results along to Bootsy, and she can order the tables & chairs, order the clamsters, and handcraft all the traditioal lobster vests, Bermuda shorts, bow-ties and ski-masks. Oh yeah, order the lobsters, too. I almost forgot. Wow, if we forgot to order the lobsters, that would mean 1887 all over again!

So respond early & often, and we'll see y'all (all who are coming, anyway) on Saturday, July 28
