<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 - 100% probability Stitchwolf from London, ON - 100% probability Deranged Kitsune from London, ON - 100% probability Ryx from TX - 100% probability Jacob O'Hare from Campbell, NY - 75% 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 SenkoLKE from Rosario, Argentina (by way of Nebraska,  arriving on the 11th) The time to reserve rooms is now!  The group discounted rate is good only until May 9th!  Please hurry and reserve your room so you too can enjoy the wild and crazy adventure that is the TSA Bash!
