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 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

Lord, I am beginning to sound like arr bee!

Sane's very own LOBSTERFEST is going to be on August 1, 2009. The lobsters have assured us that they will also be there. They couldn't speak for the clams but no doubt they shell be there, too.

Thank you all for your flexibility.

Your hostess

SANEsters,

Yes, the date has been set, and that date is Saturday, [NEW DATE: 1 Aug] 2009, 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

SANE Meeting 2 June 2009 UPDATE

It would appear that the underwhelming choice for a 2 June project is a "Do-It-Yerselfer" - bring the project of your choice and (either exchange it with someone or) do it yourself! Keep it non-toxic, relatively clean, something you can do while you gossip/kibitz/eat/drink. Let thoughts percolate through your brainpans about what we might do for future meetings, and when that next meeting might be... with the Summer Fandango (aka GlobsterFesterClam) coming up soonly, this may be the last meeting before the summer vacation!? Where does that time go?<

Also bring an opinion when to hold the GlobsterFesterClam - current options were Sat 25 July or Sat 1 Aug of this very year. Who'd have thunk it?

I always try to do things in threes. This time it's declarative sentences, followed by a dumb question. Why should this paragraph be any different?

Okay, see y'all Tuesday. Shirkers will be Shirked. Isn't this number four?
