Greetings my benevolent HOBOs. As you know, HOBOnanza 2008 is less than 24 hours away from being officially upon us. The first official event on the docket is "The Gathering" to be held at the official headquarters of everyones favorite political regime: "The Brown Administration."

That being said, everyone's favorite (FAVORITE OR ELSE) first lady of destruction, the fabulous Ann Marie Brown, has imparted unto me the following information:

The following materials are being provided by the administration for the enjoyment of ALL HOBOs and friends of HOBO for their enjoyment on Saturday night beginning at 5:00 in the post meridian:

1. A moon-based laser cannon for the destruction of all enemies of HOBO or the greatest laser-light show EVER.
2. Hamburgers, hot dogs, Polish Sausage, and assorted meat products for grilling.
3. A grill, possibly nuclear powered. Unable to confirm due to the deaths of EVERY CIA agent sent to investigate within the last 10 days.
4. Food toppings such as beer soaked onions, ketchup, mustard, pickles, and the blood of the enemies of the state.
5. Desserts prepared by Ann Marie HERSELF for the consumption of ALL HOBOs in attendance up to and including brownies, cookies, and other bars of sweet destruction.
6. Tiki torches and lawn furniture to park your ass for the duration of the festivities.

I have also been informed that while these items will be graciously provided by our dark, omnipotent ruler AND Richard J. Brown, the following items are needed to complete the spread:

1. Salads (potato, leafy, human body parts, etc.)
2. Human sacrifice
3. Your own beverage selections such as beer and "other"
4. Giant mechanical androids programmed for world domination.

At that, I bid you all adieu for now, and hope to see each and every one of you...and more...at the Brown Administration's Doom Fortress, located at scenic 606 E. Longyear Street in Bessemer come 5:00PM Saturday.
