THE PARTY


Location: Joe’s Place
5 Buell Court, Houston, TX
When: Saturday, May 6, 5:00pm

This year, it’s a return to our roots: chicken and burgers! Also, the moonwalk will be available for your jumping pleasure. And the sno-cone machine is a GO!

How it works: We’ll provide the meat and drinks. We ask that you bring your appetite, and maybe a side or dessert.

If you think someone should be invited, bring ’em along! No doubt we’ve left some folks off.

Brought to you once again by:
Hauptchef – David White
Biermeister – Shelton Alsup
Chef des Unternehmens – Ed Benyon, Scott Peacock, and Joe White

Visa stand-off fails to stop 36,000-mile trek to Hull – World – Times Online
Karl Bushby started out 6 years ago to walk across the world. Beginning at the tip of Chile, he walked up the entire length of the Western Hemisphere, crossed the Bering Strait while it was frozen(!), only to be arrested in Russia for not entering at a checkpoint (he had acquired the necessary visas already). Originally ordered to be deported, a hight court today overturned the ruling, allowing him to continue on his trek.

Police Squad! (In Color)

Before the “Naked Gun” films there was Police Squad!, ABC’s criminally short-lived series that introduced us to Lt. Frank Drebin and which brought the ridiculous humor (“…and Rex Hamilton as Abraham Lincoln”) of Jim Abrahams, David Zucker and Jerry Zucker (Airplane!, Top Secret!) to the small screen. Lasting only six episodes, the series has since gone on to gain a cult status among its legion of fans. Previously released on two laserdiscs, the series is heading to DVD this year from Paramount Home Entertainment. In this week’s “Home Media Retailing” magazine, director David Zucker reveals that he is scheduled to record commentary tracks for the release, but warns not to expect any deleted material. “I don’t know if there’s any deleted [scenes]. In those days, they just threw stuff away.”

Hooray!
