Elie,

It looks like Binghamton is going to be cold and damp this weekend.

Any chance you can pack the Belly Dancer and the Snake in the Snap- A- Trailer to heat things up if we get too cold?

Or you could just bring the leftover booze!

Thanks to the whole FG staff for making this one awesome event! We had a blast, and are already looking forward to next year! We were so very honored to be able to introduce the dreaded "zero of eight" to Connecticut, and, to back it up with the seemingly impossible "negative zero of eight." It was a sight to behold....

And Snap, what a guy! He invites a few hundred of his closest friends to his house for a party, where we drink all his beer, trash his yard, and burn his airplanes. He shows his appreciation by inviting a belly dancer for us!! We love this man.
