Saturday, Sunday - Tomato, Tomahto

This morning I got the most URGENT email from TRISHA QUIRK, Class of 1983 (pictured at the right) about the availbility of Park spaces in Texas this Summer. All Park Pavillions (picnic tables, grills, iron bars, corrugated iron roofs) are booked for Saturdays through October. So, in Executive Session (inside my big'ol skull) I SWAPPED events for days. TRISHA (let all Volunteers Praise her) is going to reserve the Stovall Park Pavillon for SUNDAY, August 5th.See the Stovall Park Link to the Right. She is fronting the $250 reservation fee out of her own pocket. We have an option on an additional $50 BEER fee, who wants to send TRISHA a fin for the brew...?
Our BEER FEE Hero is Daryl Adams also Class of 1983 and pictured above.. That gets us a certificate from the City of Arlingstone for BYO! I'm Class of 1982. I guess as things and expenses progress we'll see similar VOLUNTEER YOUR ASS OFF SPIRIT from all Graduees!

All this means is that our Adult Graduate only day will be Saturday, August 4 so even if you overrindulge you can take up lawn space on Sunday.

Or since the Sunday is now the BBQ, Tailgate and socialize day, MAYBE SIX FLAGS could be Saturday night?! C'mon guys I have Valley Fair here and for the MN State Fair, they carve the Dairy Princesses bust in butter...hundreds of REDNECKS debating whether her butter boobies are even...

Adult Graduate Day for 1981-1983 is Saturday August 4th!

We can start getting loaded and acquainted by about 4:00pm from a little Traditional Texas Tea Dance (if we start early we can still end in time to go to SIX FLAGS and ride roller Coasters! Huh, whatcha think? A little buzz on the double loops?

Timotee want Coasty Rollers!

My Proposal for the SECOND DAY- SUNDAY, August 5 - Family Day!

I think we need to find an adequate picnic park area for us to grill, picnic, tailgate and really mingle visit and then those of us (me!) who want to hit the coasters until the park closes can go for an early evening/late night coaster party!

I'm sure we'll have to put a deposit down on reserved picnic areas. So don't be surprised when we begin to solicit funds to pay down Payments. I'm sure some of us will be fronting arrangements on credit cards. We'll publish receipt information on this blog so our money shifting and spending will be transparent and reviewable.

Next Week, we plan the Adult Only Reunion Cage Match. There will be a cash bar (maybe just beer? easier to liscence?) And a supercool DJ that Justine knows as we PARTY HEARTY on Saturday August 4th!

Anyone on the ground in the Arlington Area, please contact me, maybe we can think of the things that need to happen in Arlington - Ads in the papers, churces? Maybe reach out to the New JBHS to see if they want to pay tribute to us because
without us, they are nothing. Call Me 612-804-3305

Alright...Already

I vote for whichever day the most single women will be there."

That semi-creepy Comment aside. "C" wins by a nose, 1 vote. So I am arbitrarily making the new dates AUGUST 4 & 5, a month later than was announced but barring a general revolt those are the new dates. Now I have to "publish" that information here, on classmates.com and I'll spam everyone about it in a minute.

NEW DATE FOR OUR REUNION! Saturday & Sunday AUGUST 4 & 5, 2007! Spread the word!

So I guess July 4 & 5 was just CRAZY TALK?

Okay, before we talk about Six Flags, let's choose a date that might not be July 4 & 5, okay? By the way, thanks for all of the feedback (although I've been called crazy for opening it up for change...).

Please vote:

A. July 4 & 5
B. Week of July 30
C. Week of August 6

Our First Town Hall Meeting - When?

Due to some feedback about the chosen dates for this shindig, I've decided (in consultation with a secret cabal of 82 Grads - I'm making that up) to try a Townhall meeting on the subject, using the "Comment" function on this site to gather opinion for a couple of weeks. "Comment" is located at the bottom of each post. You may comment anonymously, include a photo...whatever, I just sit here.

I'll let you in on a little secret, in January when Idecided to do this, I pulled the July dates out of my asterix so I'm not REALLY harboring a secret "Suicide by Sun" wish or anything, I just needed a date to point to. We can't avoid the heat without time travel which is expensive for families, so I say if we move the dates we move them toward the end of Summer, early Autumn. I like the idea of Six Flags but here in the middle of my midlife crisis, I'm not sure my judgement is all that sound. (Ask me about early onset "andropause" andro-damn-stop is more like it...)

So what, or when do you think we should get together? We'll leave it open to add Comments until May.

The Way We Wuz

I attended school(s) with Rhetta Scott for eight years. Have no doubt, her popularity was a glare around her, blinding. When I had my first "Reunion Dream" where no one shows and everyting goes wrong, I was standing in a tacky buffet line in front of her.

Just a Few Missing Volunteers Class of 82?

Here's a list of Grads from '82 who were at the 20 year Reunion that we appear to have lost current email info for.

The best thing about the onset of DEMENTIA (Senior Moments) is you can hide your own Easter Eggs the night before! I wonder whe I put that one in the sofa-cushion. Stinky Fifi Louise Hogan, my cat, sniffs out the dead eggs from hens. Good Kitty!

6, 5, 4, 3, 2 -

And I even invited Frank Zappa (see yesterday.) If a Rock Superstar Hall of Famer who's been dead for 15 years shows up we will have scored the BEST HIGH SCHOOL REUNION EVER! Plus the music will be eerily groovy.

SIX 6 six VI sect SES 6!6!6!6! HOW MANY IS SIX?

SIX (6) is how many 81-83 GRADS I have left on assmates.com, oops! I mean classholes.com or asswipe.something to email out of the total 744 I began with, It only allows me to email 50 in a rolling 24 hour period (for safety?) and tomorrow at 7:30am CST I can email the FINAL SIX!

Today classmates.com made me listen to TALKING SMILEYS all morning while I mailed to the VOLUNTEERS whose names were in the "w" range. The only thing MORE ANNOYING than SMILEYS on an email would be TALKING SMILEYS! Unless you could shoot at them and they died loud and gorey. Maybe EXPLODING SMILEYS for people who read their emails too slowly, they could start screaming seconds before they covered the email with gore!

But we're down to SIX! It looks like seven, but I'm, pretty sure FRANK ZAPPA didn't graduate from Bowie, good try numb-nuts.

SIX SIX SIX SIX! LET'S SING THE SONG OF SIX! I've been hacking down 50 per day since March 19th so whoever plans on attending this REUNION needs to put THAT on the list of TIMOTHY'S CONTRIBUTIONS. That and having the idea for the damn thing to begin with cause he's not sure how many others he'll be alive for. So when someone calls me and asks if I'll take on this little task or the other, you bettah pull back from the phone while I scream NINETEEN DAYS OF FIFTY PER DAY!

It would be funny if suddenly a lot of fictional characters who's names end in W-Z appeared before tomorrow on asscheeks.com, but I'd have to hunt you down and kill you.

...TIME TO MAKE THE DONUTS...

Please God, make it end!

COME ON VOLUNTEERS EMAIL ME YOUR EMAIL ADDRESSES

Don't let Felix Scare you! Now that you've been contacted through classmates.com which is more of an obstacle to actual communication than a facilitator. Email me, TIMOTHY HOGAN at trhogan@comcast.net so I can add your address to the ACTUAL REUNION PLANS and SECRETS (note to self, SECRETS) I would love to break our relationship with ripoffs, I mean classmates.com by MAY. So we can flounderon our own. So it's up to the 500 or so I've contacted to add to the 80 email addreses I have on my distribution list for the Reuinion. At Some point, the Distribution List and this blog will be the souls source of information.

SPREAD THE WORD! FORWARD THOSE EMAIL ADDRESSES TO TIMOTHY! YOU MUST OBEY! YOU ARE GROWING SLEEPY!

I've Tried to contact 300 of you so far...

...and I never would have gotten that far without my exceptionally tallented imaginary "cat-friend" FELIX THE CAT, THE WONDERFUL WONDERFUL CAT, WHENEVER HE GETS IN A FIX, HE REACHES INTO HIS BAG OF TRICKS (that landed me in Rehab, twice, once with Gov. Anne Richards) FELIX THE CAT THE WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL CAT YOU'LL LAUGH SO HARD YOUR SIDES WILL ACHE, YOUR HEART WILL GO PITTER-PAT (that was last May, I turned 42, had 2 Heart attacks and own 4 stents forever) WATCHIN FELIX, THE WONDERFUL CAT.
