Hey Doc ,

Regarding preparations for the Long Beach Midwinters (Feb.19-20):

1.) I'm pretty sure I can get us invitations to Bob Seger's party since i'm officially "press" (thanks Mary) and you have all of his albums.Can we take the Ferrari as it would rather complete the whole "hanging with Rock Stars" deal?

2.) I've got some leads on a place to stay really close to the YC (to be honest - it is the YC - parking lot...).

3.) I'm still trying to get us into Dr. Laura's party in Newport. I've called repeatedly but am not dysfunctional enough to get on the show to ask for an invite.Could you make a Professional Courtesy call to her people so I won't have to sail onto the big boat course and hail her during crew prayer like last year ; and the Ferrari would be cool for this also...

4. The Snoop Dog thing isn't likely to happen after all (the whole catamaran sailors are whack mantra plus your Bob Seger albums...). Sorry. BUT, the Dennis Connor consult is a definite - if we can do it at Dr. Laura's in Newport.Oh, and the Ferrari would be ... you know...
