Christ, what a strokefest. Are you going to have a "best dressed stroke" contest? How about a Brett Gilliam legal clinic? Will the Official TDI Stunt Diving Team being doing any record breaking simulated bounce dives? If Rich is going to be there, I sure hope you have quit beating up guys "with the faggy flowered shirts". Are Andrew Poole & John Vanderleest going to show slides from the first Wakulla expedition? Is somebody going to get a picture of Gilliam urinating on the Draeger booth? "OzTek '99 Conference, is a separate event, open only to TDI Associates" really? Has the local constabultory been notified? Will you do the "how to survive alcohol poisoning" lecture again?
