<html> <body> Everyone is invited to the 15th Annual TSA-Bash!  The TSA-Bash is an annual get-together, first hosted by our venerate resident rabbit, Phil Geusz.  People from all over North America and even from countries around the globe have come together to chat, play games, and just generally socialize.  The first two years, Phil opened his own hutch--err, home to us but his poor domicile couldn't handle it, so after that, we moved around the country, invading poor hotels with our strangeness and, for some mysterious reason, cocktail umbrellas keep showing up all over the place.  Don't ask me how THAT happens!  You're just going to have to come to figure out this mystery for yourself! We have had Bashes across the United States and even had one up in the frozen tundra of Canada! We are holding the Bash this year in Piitsburgh, PA and your truly, Charles "MattRat/MattTrike" Matthias will be hosting.  The bash will be held at the Quality Inn Pittsburgh North from June 9 to the 12th. <a href="http://www.qualityinn.com/hotel-pittsburgh-pennsylvania-PA268?source=gglocaloz" eudora="autourl"> http://www.qualityinn.com/hotel-pittsburgh-pennsylvania-PA268?source=gglocaloz </a>Currently slated to attend: Kanren from Jessup, MD -- 100% probability MattRat/MattTrike from outside Pittsburgh, PA -- 100% probability Viqsi from Columbus, OH -- 100% probability Hallan Mirayas from WI - 90% probability Stitchwolf from London, ON - 90% probability Deranged Kitsune from London, ON - 90% probability Ryx from TX - 50% probability Mabmoro from East Providence, RI -- 50% probability Pyat the Mouse from Hamilton, ON -- 50% probability Robert E Thornsberry from Lexington, KY -- 50% probability Weremoose from Southaven, MS -- 50% probability Mako from Los Angeles, CA -- 25% probability DanSan from near Los Angeles, CA -- 25% probability (he's in the process of moving to the LA area so depending on how that goes, his attendance probability is up in the air) Nikon from Sandy, UT -- 10% probability Rhinowolf from Kissimmee, FL - 10% probability LurkingWolf from Ponce, Puerto Rico The Dragon De Monsyne from Live Oak, TX Unfortunately, the TSA Bash website (<a href="http://www.tsabash.org/" eudora="autourl"> http://www.tsabash.org</a>) is currently down while DanSan is moving.  Hopefully it will be back up soon.  In the meantime, if you are going to be attending, or would like to change your status (for those on the above list), please drop me a line and I'll take care of it. Also, with only two months to go, now is the time to firm up your plans, reserve rooms, make rooming arrangements, and the like.  I need to know who is going to be there, when they are going to arrive, and by what means they are going to arrive (car or train, bus or plane).  Also, Bash Book Submissions!  If you'd like to send me a little story for the Bash Book, I will be exceedingly grateful!  No more than 1000 words please, and try to have the done by May 8. Let us make this a great success!  Thank you to DanSan for managing these emails and the website and for being an all around great friend!  And thanks to Viqsi for her awesome advice all through the process. May He bless you and keep you in His grace and love, Charles Matthias !DSPAM:4f7834cf72861804284693! </body> </html>
