some people have mentioned in various ways that they were unsure that they were allowed to attend or didn't feel that they would fit in, so: EVERYONE WITHOUT EXCEPTION IS INVITED TO THE PICNICS you don't have to be part of some mythical "in" crowd, you are allowed to bring friends, you don't have to be b&s obsessed (just liking them is enough), it doesn't matter what age you are, or what clothes you wear. the only restriction is if it rains, as all the picnics will most likely end up in a bar, and obviously local licensing laws apply. but please, don't feel that the invitation isn't extended to you simply because you don't mail as often as Tag or Keith :) so for you who were hesitant and said no before you'd thought about saying yes, attached is the web page with all the details on it. and i hope to hear that all the picnics were succesfull in numbers as well as atmosphere (the latter being almost guaranteed given the likes of most of the people i know are already attending them). thanks david kitchen -=-
