Remember, you can make eye contact, but no touching, no hugging, no swooning, no kissing. I have that all reserved!!!!

: WAKE UP, EVERYBODY!!! Didn't you hear the news??? WES STUDI is gonna be at the Gathering!! And not just for an hour or so one evening, but for a good part of TWO WHOLE DAYS!! And we are even allowed to make EYE CONTACT!!! ;o) That means, we can really get a feel for what he is like, and learn some new things about our beloved movie, and actually climb the cliff trail with MAGUA!! What an experience, and what a HUGE thank-you we owe to Rich & Elaine & those who helped them make this possible!!!
: Of all the people involved with the movie, I've always felt Wes would be the most interesting to meet (at least in this type of situation). I get the feeling he will be fun, easy-going, and won't feel like he's "slumming" to be with his fans & fans of the film. He just always sounded like a "regular" guy to me...assuming, of course, that your basic regular guy has tremendous talent & presence.
: Rich, I will be buying just as many raffle tickets as I can in the next day or two, and I will be happy to pay an additional "Magua Tax" if one is necessary. Not only will it buy me a couple of days with Wes Studi, it will mean I have that much greater chance of winning that wonderful painting in the raffle. I hope EACH and EVERYONE who is attending the Gathering will support this fund-raising effort. And for those of you who can't attend, I hope you will enjoy buying an unlimited amount of chances to win the portrait of Magua. It will be a wonderful addition to your collection!
: Rich, how long to we have to get our checks in to you before you have to stop & figure how close we are to covering costs? I'm guessing that we need to get those raffle tickets purchased within the next week or two, at most. Would that be about right? At which time, you would have to start figuring out whether we are still short, and set up the Magua Tax for attendees? I know it is necessary to book the flight soon, in order to get the best rates. So I know we can't wait too long to get these funds together.
: Thanks again! Well done, MP!
