First, I'd like to thank the kind person who alerted me to this gala.

Boys, I'd love to join you, but I've got to scurry home and pack for a trip tomorrow. If I do that, I can go see my friend Fred play at Iota in Arlington.

Feel free to bring the party over, the show doesn't start til 9. Cover won't be much.
