Be amazed, dear Readers, at the splendid July fireworks in our new Green Books:

This is the Last Call, folks, for BarliBash 2001! Reservations for the hotel *MUST* be made by 4:30, central time, on Thursday, the 12th of July! So, if you’re riding the fence, it’s time to pick a side to step down onto. =]
We still have space available (this message would seem rather silly if we didn’t, wouldn’t it), and we want to fill it up – the more, the merrier! So, check out our info page if you haven’t already, and contact the Bash Staff if you need any additional info – such as how to make your reservations!
We hope to see you in Chicago, in just a little more than three weeks!

We’ve had a few inquiries about video greetings, from folks who are going to be unable to attend the Bash but would like to say “Hello” in a more tangible manner than a PM. So, we’re giving those folks a more interesting option!
If you have access to a video camera, you can make a videotape of your greeting to the Bashgoers, and mail it to us at:
BarliBash
P.O. Box 3224
Davenport, IA 52808-3224
So, with a little help from magnetically charged tape, you can send a little part of yourself to BarliBash, even if you can’t manage to get there physically. Hope to screen you in Chicago, folks!
