Richard Thomas and book and lyrics by Stewart Lee and Richard Thomas

                        Matt and I discovered something amazing!


                        For the first time in many-a-season, we may have an
open week and weekend in the summer. We're super excited and are thinking
about throwing a summer party to thank you for such a great season.

                        We are hard at working thinking up fun ideas for a
weekend get together sometime between July 7 and July 20.

                        The date is not set yet, nor is what we are going to
do.

                        If you know of anything you think would be
appropriate, shoot us an email and we'll put it in the pot and see what
turns out.

                        :-)

                        This is gonna be great!

                        -Solomon
