The Sky Darkens...




     The Earth Trembles...




           The Ground Shakes...




                  ...It's the End of the World as We Know It....




                                                      ...BUT WE FEEL FINE!




     ...And we'd like you to feel fine with us!

Yes, it's the end of an era.  And I'm sure money will change hands over
it, but RYAN AND I ARE MOVING INTO SEPARATE DOMICILES.

        So the details...

        Who: YOU (i.e. Anyone who's ever been or would like to be at the
                Semipalatial Embankment of Love

        What: The Last Days of Pompeii Party at the
                SemiPalatial Embankment of Love.

        Where: The, uh, SemiPalatial Embankment of Love...
                ... thought we covered that part.

        When: Saturday, 29th March 2003.  Starting at 7pm, going until the
                lava reaches our smiles.

        Why:  Because something this earth-shaking deserves a par-tay.

        How:  Togas.  Yes, we've had kitschy theme parties before, but
                this is it.  We're doing Togas.  Plan ahead. (Yes, Dave,
                Kilts count).  Toga, Stola, Kilt, whether you're a
                barbarian at the gates, or a humble roman citizen, you've
                got to come to this one.  We'll be short on furniture at
                that point, so there's plenty of room for everyone.

        If there's something you want to bring (besides your own folding
chair) please let us know by email and we'll (hah!) make space for it.

See you there!
