Subject: Re: Mermaid update Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2003 15:43:55 -0700 To: Bonnie Scott , From: James Lesczynski Another long email, but some important info. Please bear with= me... Last call for scrub pants for Saturday. I'm going to the surgical= supply store Friday at lunchtime to buy them, so if you want= some, let me know. I think we have received requests for pants= (or RFPs as they are known in the mermaid trade) from Nic, Bob,= and Bonnie, and I'll get some for Dawn and me. I'm assuming= Thomas, Cath and Joseph are providing for themselves at least= some sort of greenish pants as well as a white tee shirt. Craig Milem has dropped out of our mermaid militia, due to a= scheduling conflict. I have not heard from Rosemary Rossi since= our meeting last week, so I don't know if she is still in. I= haven't been able to get a hold of Chris Boynton either,= although Matt Siegel told me Chris was coming. That leaves us= with the following "definite" participants: 1. Jim 2. Dawn 3. Thomas 4. Cath 5. Bonnie 6. Bob 7. Nic 8. Joseph If there is anybody else who wants in, now is the time to speak= up. Since we will be marching with a "motorized float" (Bonnie's= jeep), our designated assembly site is on West 16th Street= between Surf and Mermaid Avenues. All parade participants are= supposed to arrive no earlier than 10 a.m. and no later than= noon. I will try to arrive around 11 a.m. The rest of you please= try to be there by noon. For a map of the meeting place, see: http://tinyurl.com/er84 If you have trouble finding us, my cell phone is 646-387-7591. I= have cell numbers for Dawn, Bonnie, Thomas and Cath. If the rest= of you have cell numbers, please send them to me (privately if= you don't want everyone to have the number) so we can be in= contact on Saturday. It's always a long subway ride to Coney Island from Manhattan,= about an hour under normal conditions, and the tracks are= currently messed up due to construction. Please allow plenty of= time. See the following special notice from the MTA on getting= to Coney Island this summer: http://www.mta.info/nyct/subway/coney_island.htm JOSEPH and THOMAS, please make copies of your flyers for us to= hand out. BONNIE, when are you coming into town? Can we load the squirt= guns (mine and Nic's), balloons and water into your jeep Friday= night? Are we helping you decorate it? Finally, we will likely get wet on Saturday. The parade will go= on "rain or shine". We're all used to rain by now, and a passing= shower shouldn't ruin the fun. However, in the event that we= face a torrential downpour, we may want to call the whole thing= off. All the more reason to give me your cell phone numbers so= we can keep in touch. See you Saturday. Jim
