  [ I imagine that this is only of interest to those of you in living
    in Colorado or parts nearby, but one never knows.  Some of you may
    already have read much of this (there are some changes) but since we
    have more crashspace than anticipated, might as well open it up. ]

This Friday (1/8/93) will mark two great occasions: the the first is the
two-hour premiere of the new series, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine."
This starts at 7pm and runs until 9pm, and will be shown on a gigantic
wall-sized projection screen with a professional theater-grade sound
system.  The special effects should be nothing short of spectacular.

The second great event is the first Toga and Tutu Party in honor of the
newly-formed Robbie Kolstad Fan Club.  While the official RBK Fan Club
kick-off will not occur until the USENIX Conference at San Diego the
last week in January, we don't have to wait until then just to have a
costume and crossdressing party!  The drag show will begin after Star
Trek.  Cameras are welcome and appreciated.  Excellent hottubbing will
be available; no swimming suits, please -- they mess up the plumbing.

For those of you unable to make it, don't worry, this is but a pale
foreshadowing of the grand kickoff of the Robbie Kolstad Fan Club and
Tutu Appreciation Glee Club.  That's going to be happening throughout
the week of 25 January at the San Diego USENIX.  If you're there, you
won't be able to miss it, as the festivities will be going on all week.
For those who won't be there, writeups and reports of the fun will be 
included in the second issue of the RBK Fan Club newsletter, ``The Pink
Tutu''.

I suggest that if you can't make the party on Friday but wish you could,
that you send Robbie a new tutu, ruby slippers, old ballet posters,
original cartoon artwork, or any other related ballet paraphernalia. 
You could also bring his new accoutrement to the conference if you're
attending, as there will be a special presentation ceremony for this
very thing.  You might try to find something other than those blase old
pink ones though, cause he already has plenty in that color.

For directions to Kasa Kolstad, send him mail (see the reply-to line.)

The party runs from 6pm until dawn or so.  Crash space should be
available, but you might want to bring a sleeping bag.

You should RSVP to the Reply-to addresses (Kolstad and me, his party 
coordinator) in this message's header.  Special awards will be awarded
at either the party or the conference for the funniest RSVPs that I 
get CC'd on -- they'll go into the RBK Fan Club Archives.

See you there!
