*William turns 31 Friday. He was actually born on Labor Day. Get it?

**Mike's favorite holiday, right after the Anniversary of the Nicaraguan
Revolution & Mayday

***Mike's at a model train convention Friday and Saturday so we're doing
it Sunday, but if you don't have Monday off, you should take it off:
it's Labor Day.

****The party takes place in two houses simultaneously. As you approach
the party, the house on your left is the party to celebrate the left
hemisphere of the brain, there will be esoteric art. The party on the
right will celebrate the right hemisphere of the brain and will have
food and beer and dancing, and, as the evening progresses, colors and
shapes.

*****Bring something to grill. We'll also provide some things to grill.

******William is going to talk about Spineless Books and how he is going
to turn a few manuscripts and a bunch of great friends into an
independent publishing house over the course of the next year. He will
talk about his own books, read short funny passages, and give them all
away as party favors. This will only take half an hour. He will also set
up a display table featuring his collection of self-published oddities
by people he knows, many of whom are people you know.

(He decided not to go for the two-hour electronic literature performance
with projector screen featuring newspoetry.com, contratiempo.com,
unknownhypertext.com, schneertz.com, and edreport.com but could still be
talked into it if anyone is interested.)

*******You know what food is.

********A keg of Heineken.

*********Take the righteous dance music to the house on the right, and
the left-wing intellectual music to the house on the left, if there's
anybody in the house on the left.
