Subject: When art thou arriving?
Body: Are you descending upon us Friday the 23rd? There's little hope of us taking off work early that day (it's Margaret's Birthday celebration), but if you arrive before 6pm you are welcome to meet us at Garbo. If not, we'll be home around 6:30. We can round up McCork & spend a casual evening with wine, an aged brie & bearskin rug----you'l have to kill said bear in Minnesota. OR: we can hit a local pub. Whatever. We simply can't wait to see you.

Subject: RE: When art thou arriving?
Body: Friday the 23rd my friend. If we get the iPass at Jewel/Osco in Beloit, we'll be there around 6:30 - 7. If we don't, expect 11:30. We look forward to seeing you. I think we'll stop by Captain Cork's place first, just to drop our stuff off and get him in the car. Expect us by 8 - 8:30. It will be awesome, my friend. Can't wait for it. X-Box MLB baseball tournament for the boys starting at 8 a.m. sharp. I'll warn you: Isaac cheats. I also caught him sneaking cognac. Found it under his crib.
10-4 good buddy.

Subject: And the big sack of crap goes to.......
Body: The bastard thieves stole off with my MLB. I did however purchase the XBOX 360, but MLB07 is not yet released. People tend to abuse the word awesome for trivial matters but I must tell you....the 360 is AWESOME----as if Microsoft placed a large ball of dope in my palm. The only game of sport I have is John Madden football (because it came with the system). Fucking XBOX. Is this what's come of my years at a liberal arts college?
Friday can't come fast enough. Any ideas after you pick up Cap'n Cork? We can always just relax and hoist glasses.
OH: Can you help me haul the television upstairs on saturday?
---------------------
Subject: Sosa signs with Texas!!
Body: Yeah, I went to Playstation rehab three times before I kicked. Even now, as pitchers and catchers report, I feel the ache deep in my bones (psyche?) to play MLB. Or whenever Kevin McHale makes another ridiculous personnel move, I get the jones to revamp the Timberwolves roster with all of his misfires and make a run to the championship, just to prove I'm a better front office executive. Think I'm not?
As far as ideas, I think we can hang out and hoist some, and if we get hungry, we can find a place that allows 3 year-olds to hang on the lighting fixtures. Any of those nice bar/restaurants with the kids play area next door?
Oh by the way, Ulana is coming with us. I think Jessica mentioned that, but just in case she didn't...she's coming. The more the merrier.
Friday is but a blink away. I smell of whiskey, lemon, and nicotine already.

Body: Compadre:
I think I have at least 20-25 people lined up for this party. It will be a bloodbath when Scorcese is robbed for Best Director & I'm forced to randomly gut my guests. Ahhhhhh....Good times.
Ulana? Yeah!---More the merrier indeed! Can we strap a cocktail tray to the top of Isaac's head?-----R2-D2 style?

Body: On Saturday:
Consider the television hauled. The question is: Before or after we eat at the Kitschen or some other similar place that allows kids to jump around like bonobo monkeys?

Subject: RE: RE: scorcese-----& television move correction
Body: we'll move the TV on sunday-----i know, iknow, it fucks up the entire weekend. might as well stay home.
the forecast calls for a hard rain a'gonna fall all weekend. we thought maybe we'd all inspect some great new sculpture in grant park if the clouds stave off the torential pour. if not, we'll let PBR rain down over greasy skillets as McCork rises above the table to proclaim our weekend official & above all else sacred.
at any rate: be sure to come back into the city as soon as possible saturday so we can spend some quality man time. maybe we'll dismantle the jeep for the hell of it---see how that bitch ticks...john cougar on the curb-side boombox. wipe my brow?
