Mike,
I second that. I hope Rick decides to carry on with it. It's a great way to get many of the folks together in one place at the same time. It's lots of fun, and it's always nice to meet people face-to-face, with real names, right jr?
I'll be there whether there is a shindig or not, but a July 4th party would make it much sweeter. I'll buy you a beer, Mike, and you too, jr, if I actually see you this time.
