Into the Starbucks we trotted to screen the inhabitants. It didn't take long to make the owner. He was the only one who didn't look like a teeny-bopper college student pounding away on an Apple laptop. He was actually reading a legacy volume. I think they used to call them books.

No wonder it had such an awesome body. He shared other details I'll leave immediately confidential, but will relate that his eyes lit up when I informed him about our impending meet on the nearby Mountain, of which I am the giddy host. He promised to come hang out with the gang. He's not a 300 owner, but I assured him that he'd be more than welcome if he left the 195x Rolls (or was it a Bentley?) at home and piloted his more magnificent Yankee motorcar up the local twisties to the Lake. He also expressed a secret desire to lay his hands on a 300 of his own, so if there are any wanna-be divorcées, then you might use his attached email address to pound him with well-prepared 300 sales spam. Or twist his arm into joining the club.

We've had a gratifying turnout for registration so far, but I don't think we've yet pegged the meter for our block. But after today they're fair game for anybody else to reserve. I'm pretty sure the hotel will still honor our rate for late-registering attendees, but that's not guaranteed. Don't delay! Summer's wasting away & you don't want to miss this one...
