SUMMER MEETING & DRAFT 2005 & CUT-DOWN DATE

I am on the phone with Stegman as we speak. His hemmoroids are flaring and he asked me to post potential dates for the draft and meeting. He is going to be limited this year because of his move to HI. So, the dates he wants to throw out are:
(all dates are Sat/Sun)
July 30-31
Aug 6-7
MAYBE Aug 13-14 (getting dicey for his 'roids)
If you would want Steve out there for the draft, then the earlier dates are the only ones that work.
Please discuss and post thoughts.

A newt?

Guys,
With respect to (and hopefully for)  me and my HUGE "transitional situation" (yet again)  (but this one is TOTALLY triumphant)  on the horizon this August, we are probably looking at having the Summer Meeting & Draft VERY EARLY. Since DB is out July 30th, I am STRONGLY encouraging you all to free up Sunday, July 31st! August, the WHOLE month, is probably going to be a no-go for me, pretty much definitely a no-go if you guys want me there (possibly for the last time for a few years (although I usually find a way of trekking back somehow)). 
PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND and work things out accordingly!!! Thank you. 
- Steg

Excellent, Steve!  Thanks, bro!
Some general sentiments I would like add to this thread...
Last year, because of the hurried conclusion, we did not pick team numbers, which determines our schedule and is usually one of the funner activities of the get-together. The spirit of this is that this is the ONE time per year we meet and we are there to relax, take in a swim,  etc., and it gives you guys a chance to get to know one another better. It is very important for me to keep this league "personable". That's actually the main point of it. We are also there to discuss league issues in thorough, and as we already know there are some biggies this year to discuss. These last two points are to be even more so emphasized this year given my imminent long-distance move. I was working in Korea, so I always had money to come back for the summer and I was single and, thus, free to do so. I am going to Hawaii as a student and a married man, so this really may be one of our last get-together meetings for years to come (at least with my making sure it happens). This makes the "get to know one another" aspect as well as the "hammering out of league rules" aspect of this year's meeting even more important. Please be understanding of this. It is just one latish night of 365 for each of us to deal with individually, but it is our ONE and ONLY time of the year to be together as a group, not to mention possibly our one and only time for a number of years to come.

When are cuts due? Given the early bird draft, I don't know if we need a full week do we?

The following message was just sent out to yous by e-mail. I am posting it here also so as to cover all bases of communication.
Fellas,
Doug sent me the very thoughtful message attached below. He is open to making the 24th work, but he needs to know in a VERY timely manner (given preparations, so do I, for that matter). Fair enough, I think. SO, read Doug's message below and PLEASE RESPOND A.S.A.P. The only sticky situation I can see is DB. He is in the middle of his honeymoon right now. BUT, actually, the main person is FRANK. Frank, are you a go on the 24th and can it be hosted at the Gonzalez residence on that date? If the 24th is a no-go for Frank, then there is no reason to go changing dates. We'll stick with the 31st.
Over and Out, and Thank You, Doug for being so thoughtful and flexible,
Steg

I have spoken with both Rob Pak and Joe Parsons. For both of them, the 24th is actually better than the 31st. Joe might even be able to attend if we have it on the 24th. Pak, however, indicated that like Steve and Doug he would like to know A.S.A.P. Guys, there is a SMALL problem with that that I have indicated a number of times now, though. DB is on his honeymoon in Italy. I have sent him the e-mails and even left a message on his cell. I am sure he is not checking any of his messages, though. So, all this is going on unbeknownst to him. For all we know, July 24th is a no-go for him. I am guesstimating that he will be back on Thursday or Friday. So, I guess, bottom line, if Friday is not "soon enough" for you, declare yourself out for the 24th and we'll just stick with the 31st.  There is nothing that can be done and we can't blame DB.

Oh, brother! This is getting to be a lot of work... I received a message from Trout today. The 24th can work for him, but there is a good chance he WON'T be able to attend. He did say, however, not to adjust for him. He can do it by phone if need be. Bottom line, he really won't know if he can attend or not until like the 22nd. So, I suppose his response, in brief, is go with the 24th if that's where the current seems to be headed. But, we have to consider... Aren't we starting to defeat the purpose?

Well,... how the pendulum swings... The 24th just got a huge, timely shot in the arm. DB e-mailed me while on his honeymoon. Two thumbs up, dude!  ... (That's Rob Pak bowin' to ya.)      (I forwarded this e-mail to everybody.) He indicated that he is good to go on the 24th. So, as it stands right now, we have two definite no-shows (Frank and Joe) on July 31st versus one possible no-show (DT) and another possible appearance (Joe) on July 24th. Looks like the 24th is gonna get the knod  (no, not the vertical bob,  you homos). I'll make the "official" announcement tomorrow,... eh-hem,... later today.
P.S. (Dr. Danny is still looking for his hole in the ground... which (he fears) he can't tell his ass... about... Or, was that "from"?)  ...

Well, DT said to go ahead with the 24th. He's going to do his best to attend. SO, Sunday, July 24th it is... at Frank's house in Toms River!!! Address to "mapquest" will be sent by e-mail. If it's okay with Frank, let's plan for a HIGH NOON start time so as to give ourselves as long of a day together as possible. ... Make sure to bring your swim trunks and be prepared to get taken out in a little pool basketball!!! ... Given our new date for the meeting, CUTS WILL BE DUE BY 11:59:59 p.m. ON TUESDAY, JULY 19TH, i.e. ONE WEEK FROM TODAY!!! So, yous have exactly one week to cut deals before making cuts!

I have to be in California from July 29 to August 5. I guess I'll be calling in too. Of course the venue is also an issue. Sorry.
