Here's the promised update to the Chicago-area-ish (net.singles?)
party posting:

Of the six replies so far received, only one has expressed a
preference for a net-only party, though that still has not been
totaly ruled out (if you want one, get in your vote).  However,
plans for the afore-mentioned party of Sept. 15-16 are proceeding
apace, and anyone else who would like to attend is encouraged to
send me mail, preferably with their USnail address so's i can
send out maps).

For those of you who missed the original announcement, here is
an abbreviated repeat:

My place is 15 acres in the wilds of Plano, IL (about 60 miles west/
southwest of Chicago's Loop, accessible from I-5 or US 34).  I invite
all sorts of people, including young and old, married and single, even
a few dogs and kids (definitely not a singles-only crowd).

We feast on mundane beer and brats that i provide as well as on
gourmet, homemade picnic fare brought by guests (though some also
bring wine or other necessities).  We play volleyball, frisbees,
bocce (provided), and any other games anyone wants to bring.
From 5 to 7, A Prairie Home Companion is aired so that addicts don't
have to suffer withdrawal pangs (or retreat to their cars to listen
to it).  People also bring acoustic instruments for informal jamming
and accompaniment for group singing.

Later, we retire to the back, to a huge bonfire to sing, gaze into the fire,
roast marshmallows, and whatever else one does around a bonfire.
Those who want to stay bed down by the fire overnight, and we usually
cook pancakes for breakfast in the morning.

Besides the typical 50-60 people expected, there will be cats, dogs,
and horses (including a four-month-old filly) on hand to mooch handouts.
