Seven Days To Go! - Weeklong-l

31 Jul 2010

OK, so why don't we drop the Texas Chainsaw discussion for "Happy  
Days"?  We are but a week from those.  Here's the latest news.

1.  Directions to The Shelby Inn:  Take any route you've found on  
Mapquest but here are the simple directions: imagine yourself driving  
to Winedale but you miss the final  turn toward the barn.  That's  
good.  Continue on HWY 1457 for some 5 miles until you encounter the  
intersection of HWY 1457 and HWY 389.  Turn RIGHT on HWY 389.  At THE  
VERY NEXT OPPORTUNITY ( a short block), turn left.  You will soon see  
balloons on a gate on your left.  Enter there.  Mary and I and some  
Shiner and cheese will be welcoming you.  As noted in "THE FINAL  
REUNION SCHEDULE," YOU SHOULD PLAN TO ARRIVE BETWEEN 4 AND 5 ON AUGUST  
7. My cell phone is 979-249-7125.

2.  Bekah Meyer (Bruce's daughter) will be joining the "Weeklong"  
Reunion group as my assistant, serving as a flunkie, gopher, jenny of  
all trades.  Bekah performed in Camp Shakespeare for 6 years, has  
served as Intern for the last two summers, and will enter George  
Washington University in DC in September to study Shakespeare.  She  
may not know all of you but she know the territory (costumes,  
lighting, props, etc).  She will be staying at The Shelby Inn with  
you.  She may well remind us all of the beginnings.

3.  I have talked to James about costumes.  His class will be  
organizing those for packing this next week but will not store them  
until you have a chance to go though them to find what accessories you  
want to use.  There may be a chance for you to grab those on Sunday or  
Monday morning.

4.  Remember to send checks for Brunch ($13.00) and BBQ ($12.00) to me  
as soon as you can.  They should be made out to The University of  
Texas and marked "for" Brunch/BBQ.  Thanks.  My address is P.O. Box  
202, Round Top, Tx. 78954.

6.  I regret the confusion about reservations for the performance.  I  
have had no control over what has happening.  All that I know for sure  
at this point is that IF you have notified me of how many seats to  
save for you, I promise that you will indeed have them.  IF you have  
paid for them on line, they are secure as well.  Anyone on my list who  
has NOT made on-line reservations may pay for them at the performance.  
Reservations are now closed.  SRO.

I'll likely be reminded of some other things, but that's it for now.

Cheers,

Doc
