A wonderful idea. While nothing makes everybody happy (explaining,
perhaps, the existence of multiple lists), alcohol has done a great deal
for many. Why not give it one more try?
I'll be out of town, so will be sad to miss the party. I will make an
effort to drink alcohol where I am on Saturday night, in honor of you all.
A bunch of us saw the play last night. It was pretty satisfying.
Pitching a play in an open field is quite different from doing so in a
tailor-made indoor space and it was interesting to see how this troupe
has thought out this mission.

I was thinking about how we can bring people together and, perhaps for
at least a brief period of time, quell the arguing. Then it hit me.
Alcohol.
Yes, alcohol could bring us together.
To that end, Denise and I would like to invite anyone who would care
to come over Saturday evening (August 4) after Romeo and Juliet in
Clark Park. The play starts at 7PM. We live at 43^rd and Regent,
right across the street from Clark Park. Shakespeare in Clark Park
seemed as good an excuse as we could think of for a party. Saturday
seemed to be the best day to entertain.
We certainly do not know everyone on these listservs (however many
there might be today), but we are always interested in meeting our
neighbors. Whether or not you go to the play, stop over if you can.
And whether you stop over or not, you should try and get to Romeo and
Juliet while it is playing.
