Tweets--

It's coming up party time and this is the first
reminder post to mark your calendars for Friday July 12
at Carkeek Park (directions to follow in a later post)
We have a sheltered cooking lean-to reserved so we figure
5 - 9 pm same as last year...those of you who want to
charcoal etc..will have to bring it.
I will try to get there early so we can stake out some
tables and sort of set up a command post..

I'll bring name tags again ( I think Herb did too, last
year) as we'd all probably flunk the who's who quiz after
a year... If people want to bring some dishes that's fine..
it sort of worked out well last year and we didn't even
mention it..

Again I ask that any Seattle Tweets who would be amenable
to having out-of-town Tweets *roosting* at their place(s)
should post to the net announcing that fact.. :)

It might be nice if we all bring optical equipment, bins, scopes
etc..so those Tweets who are contemplating a purchase can
try out a couple of different brands. This worked well
last year and I actually ran into some Tweets at Bowerman
Basin who knew some other birders who bought Deltrintems like
the ones I had brought for show and tell and were reportedly quite
happy with them..I'll bring them again.

So, far, there are no other activities scheduled, with
the possible exception of quaffing a few tankards at some
smoke free watering hole...unless someone has a house, yard
etc and would like to host an after-we-get-kicked-out-of-the
park-gig of some kind. Perhaps we should offer a prize for
the most unusual/entertaining/outrageous birding yarn..

We also may have a stunning announcement forthcoming if all
the ducks get in a row... heh heh

ah-hhh, the suspense.. :) :)
