Hello there everyone (SOC)

The word must have got out that I am leaving town soon, I
should never have told Amy... :) Ah well, but I get a party
in honor (or celebration ???) of my leaving and that means
free food... Right !? I suppoe I won't have to bring food to
a party for me... Unless you have got used to those delicious
sonce that Eric b(r)ought for his going-away soiree'...

This message is not meant to duplicate Amy's really. Just wanted
to invite everyone with whom I have danced (even Corey..:) ) to
try to come out there to the Regent this friday coz' it will most
likely be my last dance here for a long time to come (wash your
dirty brain out with soap and water Scott.. :) ).

I have had a splendid time dancing in these parts the last three
years now. I have watched a lot of people come in, get better
and leave. But alas, I leave without ever having gotten better..

I am surely going to miss the Regent and the Regentites when
I move east to NJ (this is so I won't be asked by everyone
to where I will be heading after this). I have to say thanks to
the DI, and to Dave, for those dancing lessons, and for adding a
different dimension to my life.

My defense is this thursday afternoon at 2:00. Please come if
you like to though I strongly discourage it. I want to leave
town with a modicum of respect left from my fellow dancers...:)

And come out and party at Amy's and then again at the Regent
the day after..

If I don't get to see you friday, or Sunday at the Rose Bowl,
then good bye to you all and I have enjoyed my time with you
and will cherish the moments I have spent with the DI..

au revoir.
Sriram.
