I'd appreciate a note by the end of the week if you are planning to
attend (and how many come in your party), so I can place a
Crawfish order (send mail andre@acm.org). If you
can't be sure this early, that's fine, give me your best guess now
and do come on Saturday if you have time; I just want to get a
ballpark estimate now.
I'll have basic crawfish, maybe some veggies, and Dr. Pepper. Feel free to bring other items (other beverages, chips, alternate food) if you like. (We figured out where the local fedex office is last year, so, hopefully, the crawfish arrival will go more smoothly this time.)
Students, especially, should just come and mouch off the older alums (don't feel obligated to contributed food or money, just show up and tell us what LSMSA was like when you were there).
Noon is when we plan to get start the fire going. That probably means we'll eat around 2pm.
85/86ers:
I'm especially expecting you '85er and '86ers to show up
in force. We have Jackie [Maddux] Atkins coming down for
Redwood City, and Rodney Durr flying in from Washington D.C.,
so I'm hoping those of you in L.A., and Irvine, and Torrance
will definitely be able to join us (and introduce those
new spouses we've been hearing about).
Arrive:
I'm in Apartment 231. Home phone is 626 568 3446.
Cell is 626 230 0854 (new number from last year).
To get into the interior of the aprtment, you should be able to
ring an intercom which will phone me, but you may need the phone numbers
in case there are any problems with that.
Parking:
There is some visitor parking space (first come, first served) in the
middle of my apartment building. Otherwise, there is street parking in the
surrounding neighboorhood.

Direction:
I assume most of you can find your way around better than I can.
If I210 (101, 134) make sense for you, exit Hill from I210. That puts
you on the map referenced above. You can take Union (one way) or
Colorado
west to N Mar Vista. I'm in the block between Colorado and Union.
If you need any other directions, let me know.
