Update from Eric's email...

Travis is right, we can't let this go further. 03/09 @ 3pm. Everyone who has replied hasn't marked this as taken up by anything else. Still haven't heard from sexton or wolfe about it, but we're not waiting anymore. See all of you next sunday And bring beer, liquor (i like patron silver :P), and food. Put your wifes/women to good use and have em cook us up some good grub
