This sounds like a good time...
NOON, SUN. FEB 11I'll be back from Vegas for a few days by then (I have a feeling the date is meant to be Sunday, Feb 10th, since the 11th is a Monday). Maybe I'll be able to get it together enough for Kathy & I to go. But it's equally likely that I'll be drinkied out by then (or at least will need a weekend to recover before the next weekend's Tardy Gras party. Doesn't mean it's not a good idea for you, though...
