From: TECRUS::WEISENBACH "an adherent of a particular nonreligion 13-May-1991 2127" 13-MAY-1991 21:45:49.73 To: @PIG.DIS CC: Subj: Ahem... Hey! YO! Say.... How about that weekend, huh? Comfortable night Friday, warm and sunny the Saturday. Magnificent weather, wouldn't you say? And as you wash down the car or mow your lawn, aren't you thinking that if there was a party going on you would certainly rather be there? And, depending on when you called it an evening about a year ago, I'll just bet you're remembering that there's usually a Pig Roast© right about this time of year... Well you're wrong. Plan on spending the last few weekends in May and the first couple in June being productive little citizens. The Pig Roast© is in June, late June. In fact, it is on June 22nd. Now you might be thinking to yourself, "Gee, isn't it going to be damn hot standing next to a fire all night in the middle of summer perfectly roasting a whole pig?" Well, yes it is. But the Chuckmeister is doing the "respected professional" thing at the CICC this year, if you can believe it (and since it is in San Diego, I do). That meant last weekend was out, and vacation schedules pushed it into June. June 15th was a possible date, but Ides of June are notoriously bad for this sort of thing. Thus, June 22nd is the date to remember. Now, location-wise, things have settled out quite nicely. The Pig Roast© will almost certainly be held at Lewis Lahr's place, made infamous by a series of indiscretions. This will be the third time in a row for the place, making it the Mother of all Pig Roast Locations. It also makes Lew the Elvis of all Hosts, who deserves our sloppiest drunken kisses. The house is newly bedecked with, literally, a new deck. The old one was decaying and full of dry rot, none of which came from the hot tub/washing machine experiments of last year (more on that and the new Morality Codes later). The new deck, made of actual pressure treated lumber, will, according to the contractor, support a car. So get here early on June 22nd, as we're going to check him on that. Boy, will his face be red if Lew's Honda goes through! Recapping: WHAT: Spring '91 PIG ROAST!!! WHEN: June 22nd, and not a moment too soon! WHERE: Lewis Lahr's rental sponge! WHO: You, friends, family! All that remains is to remind you, the Home Partier, to ask not what this party can do for you, but what you can do for this party! First and for most is to accurately enumerate the people attending since last year the pork budget was stretched pretty tight. The second is remind one and all that it is your duty to show up, rain or shine. Thirdly, you should bring a desert (whoops, Freudian slip) dessert or side dish to share. Finally, you must have lots of fun and wish earnestly for another Pig Roast© soon! Whoa!! I was only setting out the ground rules, now actually asking for RSVP's. I'll be requesting those soon enough. But right now, concentrate on inviting the right people. And bring a date for Blaine. If you have any questions, just ask me, the Answer Bob!
