Garry,

Regrettably, my Southern Fried Fatwah is still in effect, and I am unable to
attend the doin's. As you may or may not know, I am not allowed South of the
Mason Dixon Line ever since I mounted that Abysinnian Ass at the Phenix City
Children's Zoo. Damn good mounting job, the way I saw it, but those good ol'
boys didn't see it the same. Pity, too, since I see that Mad Dog and the Kahuna
may be among those attending. We could have swapped mounting techniques, though
I think their tastes run a bit different than mine.

Anyway, not going to be able to make the Gasshuku. Also, I see that you chose
to not have Matt Henderson conducting his Qua-Opening and -Closing seminar as a
part of the Gasshuku. I feel that to be a marketing gaff, but who knows, maybe
it is only me that is qurious of the....qua....Matt's or anyone else's. If
there were both a Qua Class AND a Bakka Session, it would perhaps be worth the
risk of Fatwah. :-)

Best of Luck with your Gasshuku!

Best Regards,
Gary G.
