<DIV class=RTE>PS - In accordance with statute 30718(c) of Ohio Law, theatre critics Mike and Ike must keep a distance of at least 180 feet from all festivities, and may not look any partygoer directly in the eye.  In addition, all attendees who are male, attractive and between the ages of 18-35 may be subject to a full 'pat down' by the host.  This will be conducted randomly by orders of the department of Homeland Security, and has nothing to do with earlier press gossip about JT's desire to give several of Brian Hutchison "one last feel to remember me by".  Please party responsibly.</DIV>
<DIV class=RTE> </DIV>
<DIV class=RTE>PSS - Please pass this email along to everyone you think will have an interest.  Thanks!</DIV>
