O.K.  Here's a repost of the invitation to a pre-Catalyst party at my
house in Santa Cruz.  The basic gist is the same, but there's been one
small change, to wit: I was planning on providing the beer myself.  But
don't panic!  I still will!  However, if people want to chip in, we can
get an "upgrade" from Weinhardt's to Lighthouse Amber, one of the fine
local brews I mentioned.  If you're interested in perhaps donating to
the upgrade, please email me ASAP so I can decide if it's feasible or
not.  Other than that, this is all the same.

I already have a number of responses from netters saying they're coming,
plus a number of non-net locals'll be there, so it should be pretty fun.
And wear your net.t-shirt!  Just got mine this weekend, and it's too
cool.  Some lady asked me if fuggles was a town in Virginia.  I said yes.
Too difficult to explain it, y'know :)

Hey!  If you're planning to go to the show at the Catalyst in Santa Cruz
then pay attention!

Starting at 3:00 pm on April 19th, I will be having a party at my humble
abode in the modest beach town of Santa Cruz.  I'll provide beer (Weinhardt's,
at least.  Unfortunately, I don't think I can afford a keg of some of the
fine local beer that we had at the last net.gathering in SC) and a BBQ grill
so bring food.  Electrical outlets will be provided for a myriad assortment
of recording devices.  Music will be playing (because it'd be a really dull
party if it wasn't).

My house is located five minutes from Steamer Lane and Its, so if you surf,
you may want to come early and hit the water for a while.  I know I am.  If
you do want to go out early, give me a ring (numbers are in the .sig) and
I can show you the spots.  Or if anyone wants a REAL adventure (and not just
surfers), I'll get you flushed.  Don't ask what it is, you just have to do
it to see.

My house is ALSO a five minute car ride, seven minute bike ride, and fifteen
minute walk away from the Catalyst.  Therefore we can carpool or walk to the
show.

OK  Here's directions to my house.  Each set of directions explains how
to get to Bay Street, the street that I live on.  After that, I explain
how to get to my house on Bay Street which is the same no matter where
you're coming from.

From 17 - San Jose:  Take 17 into Santa Cruz.  Follow the signs to Highway
1 North to Half Moon Bay.  You'll see a sign that says "End Freeway" as
you come into town.  Go to the second light and take a right.  This is
Mission Street.  Go to the 4th light and take a left on Bay Street.  If
you pass the Safeway, you've gone too far.

From Highway 1 north - San Francisco:  Go until you start hitting lights.
There are no lights on Highway from Half Moon Bay down to Santa Cruz.  So
when you hit a light, make no mistake - that's SC for sure.  Go to the 4th
light and take a right on Bay Street.  If you pass a Taco Bell and
McDonald's, you've gone too far.

From Highway 1 south - Watsonville, San Luis Obispo, etc.  If you're
coming from LA, this is the route you should probably take.  You can get
on Highway 152 from I-5 or 101, which takes you through the SC mountains
and deposits you on Highway 1.  Anyway . . . Go until you reach the
"Phishhook" in the road, which a 270 degree turnaround.  This leaves you
on the end of Highway 17, right where the "End Freeway" signs are.
Continue from the instructions in "From 17 - San Jose" above.

OK, so now you're on Bay Street.  I live at 213 Bay Street Apt. B.  As
you go down Bay, look on your right for a street named Laguna (there
are no streets on the left).  Laguna is two blocks from the end of Bay
Street.  Go to the first two-story house after Laguna.  That's my house!
There's no parking in the yard, so you'll need to park on the street.
Be forewarned!  There will be a lot of tourists parked around there also!
You may need to walk a couple of blocks, but it shouldn't be too totally
awful.

BTW, if you run out of road on Bay Street, you've gone too far.  I'd
recommend making a Uturn there.  To the right is Main Beach, the Board-
walk, and the Wharf.  To the left is all the big surf breaks.  Traffic
sucks in both directions.

You can also distinguish my house because it's the only two story house
between Laguna and Lighthouse.  There're flowers in the front, along with
an old VW Bug convertible that has a ripped up top and doesn't look as
if it's moved in a few years.  My flat is the bottom part of the two-
story section of the house.  But we should be out back anyway, so just
walk down the alley and you can't miss it.

Anything else?  Have I neglected any little detail that may be of use?
Oh yeah, bring decks, food, tapes, etc.  If anyone talks to the band
before then, they're invited to come if they want (hey, could happen :).
If you're interested in coming, I'd appreciate it if you RSVP me, just so
I can kind of get an idea of how many people will be there from the net.
It's not required to RSVP, so you can show up spur of the moment if you
like, but I'd appreciate it.

It should be fun.  There are already a number of local (non-net) Aphishi-
anados coming, we'll have pickup basketball games, maybe an egg hunt (hey,
it's Easter after all!).

Whatever you do . . .
