Thanks, Edy. I'm sure Annie and her team would appreciate any and
all help in the preparation of the limos prior to passenger pick-up.

Your Rock Star Karaoke will be placed on the schedule. I'm not
sure if this is good practice for American Idol, but it sounds
like fun, and definitely will be interesting,

Tuesday lunch at Paris Buffet. I'm sure Ginger wouldn't mind, and
will be placed on the schedule. This will still be viewed as Lunch
w/wo Ginger, however.

Voodoo Lounge - yes: 1
Voodoo Lounge - no: 4

That's the tally so far.

>I will volunteer to help wrangle the Limo Tour. (rollin' rollin'
>rollin', keep them doggies rollin'...)

You on. And, I'm sure Annie and her team appreciate the help.

For those of you not aware, Jodie Lynn is bringing a group of ladies
from the UK to join us during DLV. Jodie Lynn has offered to help
coordinate an activity (TBD).
