Greetings:
This is your open invitation to the 17th Annual Writers' Block Party.
Feel free to pass along this invitation to all kindred spirits. The
Writers' Block Party is a gathering of writers, aspiring writers, former
writers, and their friends and families, organized as a pot luck
barbeque in the park. The motto has always been "Bring Your Own Meat"
(but we do not prejudice against those who are not carnivores) and
something to share. There has always been plenty to go around.
This year's picnic is scheduled for this upcoming Saturday, July 24,
1999. Come when you want, the official starting time is 2:00 p.m. We
stay till dark or beyond, depending on weather, mosquitoes, etc. After
much hand wringing over proposed road construction, we decided on
continuity (inertia), and the gathering will continue to be held at
Picnic Ground No. 1 at Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis, Minnesota, near
the intersection of Minnehaha Avenue and Minnehaha Parkway. Note that
they are now charging for parking, and do ticket if you don't pay the
drop boxes.
Year after year, good weather and bad, the people who show up generally
have an excellent time. I hope you and your family and/or friends can
be among them this year.
If there are any questions, contact Rob Ihinger at (612) 820-8862 from
9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or (612) 722-0819 otherwise. E-mail address is
"rfijr@ibm.net". No RSVP is necessary, just drop on by. Even people
who have never met us have figured out which group we are. It's not
that hard, we're the writerly types having fun.
