| No more smackdown??  But but I postponed by Paris trip forrrr this!! No worries! Dave, what do you think about not having a theme? This can be a Pre-Thanksgiving Bash! Sounds better than a Un-Smackdown haha. Everyone bring in a good bottle of wine? | | | |

| I don't have a ton of 97 wines in the cellar, being a relative newbie to wine, but I'm sure I can find something interesting to share. Put us down for two, since we already have babysitting lined up. | | | |

| Sorry to hear that the smackdown is postponed. Even though you had planned this for a long time and I marked it on my calendar, the schedule was really tight for me. Due to this, I will have to pass on the Pre-Thanksgiving Un-Smackdown. You put so much into this, I feel bad, but it is getting harder and harder to plan these things nowdays.  | | | |

| I PM'd the rest of the people on the smackdown list, but there just doesn't seem to be enough interest.
I'm thinking of scrapping the whole thing for now if we don't get more sign-ups by Friday.
I'll try to rechedule the 03 smackdown for some time early next year. | | | http://scmwine.blogspot.com - My wine blog.<br>http://scmwine.wikispaces.com - your guide to the Santa Cruz Mountains and Santa Clara Valley<br> | |

| Bummer, we do appreciate all the leg work you've done for this one.
Here's hoping 2008 brings better attendance! | | | |

| Oh my god, this BB software sucks rocks. I am running Firefox on PC - hardly an unusual browser. I have inserted the angry smiley four times, and this POS software keeps eating it.
Dave -- I'm sorry. I'm not sure that VC has the traffic anymore to do offlines.

| What do you have in mind, Randy? Would Friday night work out better? Looks like I may have to suck up to the Almighty Bob and try to get my ban revoked | | | http://scmwine.blogspot.com - My wine blog.<br>http://scmwine.wikispaces.com - your guide to the Santa Cruz Mountains and Santa Clara Valley<br> | |

| I'm open Friday or Sat nights. Besides, I'm thinking we might have some celebrating to do, eh? Doesn't have to be Foley and steaks; I'm always more than content with a great pinot...
Mmmm. Pinot. Pinot with AlohaJ, WIML and Purple at Tulio tomorrow. Mmmm.
