The official word

The Boss sent the definitive email:

Although you probably have received several emails from Mark over the last months (years perhaps) regarding this event, this is the one and only official invitation to Mark's 60th Birthday Party. We will be holding the party on Saturday, April 14th at 6pm, starting with cocktails, dinner will be at 7. Since the venue is located in a quiet residential area there is a cut off  at 11, so we will need to wind up our celebration by then.

The party will be held at the Manor House at Millridge Condominium in Bryn Mawr. The address is 975 Mill Road in Bryn Mawr for you to Google, Mapquest, or enter into your GPS. When you arrive at the property, you will drive up a long driveway and someone will greet you at the top. He will instruct you to make a left into the Manor House circle so that you can drop off your passenger, and he will instruct you to make a right down the same drive so that you can park on the drive, on the right side only.
No doubt you will receive additional emails from the birthday boy, but if you have any questions, please email me directly.

If you could kindly RSVP via email by Friday, 6 April, it would be greatly appreciated.

Back on

Okay, the other event went mysteriously away, and we're back on for Saturday the 14th of April at Millridge, as before. (Use your GPS to find it at 975 Mill Road in Bryn Mawr; it’s not easy, otherwise.) Dinner is now at 1900 hours (that's 7pm for the digitally-impaired), and is free, courtesy of one of Rico's relatives. Come earlier, if you want; the bar (hosted by Rico) will be open after noon, but nobody actually wants you to drink from noon until dinner...

There will be a special occurrence at the dinner, loosely based on the chapter A Long-expected Party from The Lord of the Rings. I anticipate that you‘ll enjoy it.
