Apparently, Derek and Greg have "obligations" that **might** conflict with the Celebration of Life Weekend 2006. Here's the lowdown:
Derek: He's accepted a job at a hot new DC restaurant that is set to open on Memorial Day weekend---the exact weekend of the trip. He can't turn it down, so he's doing his best to delay the restaurant opening on time. Miscommunication, lies, slander, what-have-you. Derek's trying it. He's dead set on sailing. Remember, very few new restaurants open when they say they want to; Derek's new gig is basically a construction zone, so there's a 40/60 chance it won't open Memorial Day. The cook is not dead.
Greg: Our famed trimmer lives in Brooklyn, New York. One of America's best authors, Henry Miller, grew up there, and here are his thoughts about Greg's fair city: "One looks down from the Brooklyn Bridge on a spot of foam or a little lake of gasoline or a broken splinter or an empty scow; the world goes by upside down with pain and light devouring the innards, the sides of flesh bursting, the spears pressing in against the cartilage, the very armature of the body floating off into nothingness." (Link) Needless to say, Greg wants to split. He told me California is a possibility. The proposed move would conflict with the Celebration of Life Weekend 2006. I've been trying to coax him to put his shit in storage, trek down to Solomons, and go swashbuckling with us before he moves, but he's trying to figger it out.
The point is that THEY STILL MIGHT BE ABLE TO GO, but they need a little pressure, boys. You know their emails ...
Remember, worst (best?) case scenario, Damon, Colin, Jason and Chris are definitely in. If it ends up just being the four of us, the price will be $445 per person.
Cheers,
Your Captain

Any "pressure" better be followed by an offer letter and benefits package. Otherwise, I'm pressing DELETE.
And none of this one: "C'mon, this is what we work for." I work so I don't live on the street. Everything else is gravy.
You should come. It would be fun. We would have a good time. If you don't you suck donkeydick.
Fair enough. Nobody wants to suck Donkeydick.
I have no blog account. I have an account I would like to blog...
It's still nebulous, this month of May for me. But I am most likely moving to Philadelphia.
So the percentages for me are rising steadily, like the banks of the Misissippi in spring, or Damon's loins when he sees Brad Pitt in a speedo.
TO GREG & DEREK: Let us know soon whether you're going for certain, because Jason's brother-in-law would like to go if you either of you can't, and I'm not going over 6 crew members this year.
btw: I'm bringing my speedo this year ...
I haven't talked to him yet. I don't even know if he wants to go.
