What??  We had a party last year?!?!  I was there?!?  Really!?

Come one and all.  It's a great time of year to camp, and one night when people 
won't have to worry so much about how much they drank.  Why?  Because you can 
dance and drink and stumble your way home to a tent or perhaps pick an 
unsuspecting vehicle to sleep underneath(Thanks, Johann).

BTW, if you haven't mastered the basic concepts of keeping you and others 
alive(i.e. drinkin and drivin), you are not welcome at our party.  So be 
prepared to camp or have a DD for the way home and we won't steal your keys.  
Trust me....you won't want them back when we're done.  We know a whole bunch 
about discouraging specific behaviors.

But, alas, we have a problem....we don't know what to call this 2nd Annual 
"somethin' to drum, dance, and party about", and something this much fun 
deserves a real name befitting the fine fellows who throw it.  So, you all make 
some suggestions, right here on the Keep, and we'll announce the winner at the 
party.  

Winning choice receives....a firm pat on the back and a bucket that you'll know 
what to do with...oh, and the praise and admiration of millions. :)

Keep those cards and letters comin',

Falcone, Johann, and Finn and any of our company that attend
