Re: RAT Conference
We are making the map of Hot Hubs and dates now. Josh suggested that the
spiritual center of America is Las Vegas. No disagreement from anyone, so
we have set the final hub there. ETA midday July 21 at the Circus Circus
RV Park.
Vegas is a good hub for those who want to be part of the Rat Convoy of '99,
but don't have the time/cash to invest in a longer adventure. From most
cities in the USA you can usually find a cheaper flight to Las Vegas than
you can to LA. Car rentals are also cheaper there. Also hitchhikers
joining the Convoy in Sin City are a welcomed snack.
We'll sprint across the Mojave Desert sometime July 22. We've stolen
powerful Chili recipes from various wizards to which we'll be adding our
own choice seasoned Road Kill on the way.
"Chili that sets every wrong right. Chili to make Jesus jump back on the
cross!"
"I will fault this bloodless millennium. There is no milk to poop nor
poetry to ply. Seriously. Replace the plum. Rot the veneer. Till then I'll
gargle nasty phlegm"
"'Tis a pity, too. What did I tell ya time and time, Jonas Spongeman.
Dying's not half as fine as killing the lobster. The one you can only do
once, the other as often as Jesus pleases."
Josh hasn't been to his email for three or four weeks, but in general the
plays that you wrights have been sending are too long. We need them *Ten
Minutes* or less. Another way of saying that is, if the Ratmobile is
traveling at 60mph, we need to perform your script within ten of those mile
post markers. I put three scripts up at the Web site that look short
enough. More to follow. Erryone, please submit (resubmit) shorties.
After ten mile post markers, any pages left over will fly out the Ratmobile
window.

(Playwrights, please excuse the way the scripts look on the Web. I don't
have time to hand code them, so I've used software to do it. It works in
varying degrees depending on the format you sent it.)
Casual individual returns to Vegas after/during Conference depending on
flight needs.
We are trying to decide on a geographical center of the lower 48 for our
main Hot Hub. Because the Rat Road between Austin and Minneapolis have
become so *real* in its exchanges, near midway on Interstate 35, Kansas
City is an obvious contender.
Wasn't there a thread on the rat-list once on this USA center? Donde esta?
I'll expand Web page for the RatMobile with maps, recipes and dates as we
move ahead. Please email me or post to the rat-list wishes and needs and
Hot Hubs.
Let's get this Convoy moving!
