Leland,
This weekend for Pomona I will be opening my house up for people to stay at in Newport Beach (about 45 mins from race venue). I have room for about 10 people on the downstairs floor if people want to get friendly. We have a futon bed and a couch plus plenty of floor space so I don't think it should be an issue. My house has a hot tub so anyone that comes should bring a bathing suit. Also Friday night the co-ops from my work are throwing a toga party next door to my house. Everyone that stays with me is welcome to come on over, but they MUST have a toga - anything will work, sheets, fabric.... even your skin suit would probably fly. The details of the event are below. Anyone that is interested please have them email me or call me so I get a head count and can get parking passes for everyone. If I get enough people I will probably put on a pasta feed of some sort on Saturday. For anyone that is interested on Saturday I don't think I am going out to the race until the afternoon, in the morning I'm going to run shuttles on some of the local trails by my house.

:::::::ATTENTION:::::::
Since a lot of you have been expressing a certain amount of concern for the lack of events held at the PNC, we have decided to throw the 1st annual 2006 Caesar's Palace Toga Bash this Friday, November 3rd. This is an event to celebrate all of the Greek gods and goddesses who laid on their asses feeding grapes to each other and sipping on wine. Festivities will include the 2006 first-ever PNC Fall Olympics; you must enter with one other partner. Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals will be awarded in each event, along with points. The main events include:
-- Hottest God and Goddess Togas ("Less is more." -Anonymous co-worker)
-- Grape Feeding/Eating Contest
-- Flip-Goblet Relay Race
-- Chariot Races
-- Gladiator Chugging Contest
-- Athenian Limbo Contest
-- More...
At the end of all events, the points will be tallied and prizes will be awarded. If you have any ideas for other events, please submit them for review. Again, you must sign up for this event so please RSVP with your name, your partner's name, and team name.
Important info to remember:
Where: 1480 Park Newport AKA The Palace
When: Friday, November 3rd
Doors open at 7:30pm, Olympics Opening Ceremony starts promptly at 8:30pm
What to bring: A bottle of your choice (keg provided by PNC residents)
So grab your favorite white bed sheet and start cutting... Remember, gods and goddesses not wearing proper toga attire will not be admitted so please leave your clothes at home. See you there!
