And YOU are invited.

Our original thought was to have this event around the time of the annual Balloon Fiesta, the 1st weekend in October, Well let me tell you room prices go through the roof, if you can find one.

So Dead Eye put his talents to work and found that the weekend of the 17th, 18th and 19th of October seemed to be the most reasonable.

He has negotiated a really good price ($79/night) at the Navito Lodge .

Then we put Larry Laske aka Drunken Heinz to work finding good places to eat. Tough job, but someone had to do it.

Friday evening we will have dinner at Bravo Cucina Italana , menu range, $12 - $25. DH (Drunken Heinz} recommend.

Saturday will be a bus tour up the scenic Turquoise Trail . ($45/each) to Santa Fe with stops at the Tinkertown Museum and the town of Madrid (Sandye wanted to shop)

Dinner that evening will be at Texas Land

and

Cattle

Steak

House, menu range, $20 - $25.  DH recommend,

Now Sunday will be a festive cook-out at my (in)famous Schloß von Sloth.
Gourmet cuisine will consist of Kosher Hot Dogs (no catsup), Bratwursts, Ham/cheeseburgers, potato salad, wine, beer and frozen margaritas and other stuff. Sandye is organizing the mud pit events. CDs and DVDs of THE Great 50th Reunion will be available.

A couple of notes. If you have breathing problems be aware that Albuquerque is at 5000', the Schloß von Sloth is at 7000' and Santa Fe is 7350'. If you are flying from Austin TX, Oklahoma City OK, Ontario CA (LA Area), Raleigh-Durham NC, San Antonio TX, Sacramento CA or Tulsa OK check out check out ExpressJet Airlines 1st class service at cattle car prices.

Please let our official bookkeeper, Sweet Lips aka Sandye, no later than April Fools day (4/1/2008) about your plans.

Be there - it will be fun.
