HELLOOOOOOOO SINISTER! I'm writing this just as a reminder to anyone in the Los Angeles area, so if that's not you, don't bother reading any further and I'll try not to include any of my hilarious* puns or phrases that you might feel you missed out on later! Alrighty then, You might remember that Ben Apps and I are trying to organize a Red Knicker Day Picnic, and afterwards, attending the L.A. Galaxy Soccer Match--this Saturday at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. Even if you never ever post, we'd love to see you there. I'm quite serious. Even if you can only come for the picnic part, or only for the soccer part, we'd be so excited if you'd join us! Bring friends! The plan is this: We shall meet at GATE A of the Rose Bowl at 3pm. I am recognizable by my short shaggy turquoise blue hair and my clean close shave. Ben is not recognizable by either of these things, but he'll be there, too. We hope to find a nice shady patch visible to Gate A to spread out a blanket and enjoy a nice picnic. This means that if you're planning to attend, you should probably bring something to eat and/or drink (hence the name "picnic"). Red knickers are optional, but a lot of fun to wear, so I would recommend it. Around 6 pm, we will be thinking about organizing some ticket purchases for the L.A. Galaxy match for that evening. If you just want to join us for the soccer, then if you arrive by 6, we should be in good shape. The game should be over by 8:45, and you should be out of there by 9:15 (I'd say at the latest), depending on traffic. Tickets may be purchased for $13 - $20 but we will work that out when we're all present as I know that there will be 2 season ticket holders in attendance (woo! Joe! Adrian!) Ben's plan is to start some good ol' fashioned British-stylee football chants to the tune of B&S songs... we'll see how this goes down. At the very least it will be entertaining to watch Ben do it. Plus, some of the other fans in the stands will be almost as engrossing as the game, so even if you don't follow soccer, you'd probably have fun anyway. It's an experience. Oh, and this is also your last chance to meet Ben this summer before he returns to London. Sure, he'll be back sometime towards the end of the year to stay and marry me, but "vacation Ben" is so alluring, you shouldn't pass up the opportunity to be in his presence! Let me or Ben (benapps@hotmail.com) know if you are planning to attend either portion of our meetup so we can look out for you, or even if you're just entertaining the idea. We can try to answer any questions that you might have. Savin' all my love for you (and CHU!), Rachel fruitloop *may be interchanged with "dorky" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
