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
