February 20, 2009 Friends and loyal followers of the "Spanish Town Odyssey", we need your assistance in preparing a Spanish Town Mardi Gras deep space probe filled with pictures and 150 word or less describing amusing moments from our past missions. If you possess some yellow, curled, Kodak moments from the early days or digital photos through the 2009 Parade please send them to Weborah. So that Smiley Anders and eye can select the very worst to send into space. It won't make you a dime or make you & yours any more infamous in this universe but at least we'll put your names by the offending photos so aliens will know not to mess with Spanish Town Mardi Gras folk if they so choose to invade us and turn us into their slaves. Also they will be included in a 6 week display at LASCM prior to and during the season next year. And could even make it into a coffee table book, called "The Wildlife of Spanish Town". So if submitted by computer send to weborah [@] spanishtownmardigras [.]com or if by snail mail to: Jim Work 14017 Ridge Rd. Prairieville, LA 70769 May the Pink Force be with You Spock out! - Jim Work, SPLL Board Member
