Fellow inmate...uh vanagon fans,

Despite an incredible outcry of fear and desperation there will be a
bURNINGvAN 2012!

Too bad for those of you, and you know who you are, who prayed for a
respite. Didn't work, did it?

Saturday January 21 North end of Ocean Beach, San Francisco CA. Starts
sometime in the afternoon and goes on until everyone leaves or is
arrested.

Bring whatever drinks and food you like, and if there's some to share
that's okay too.

I plan to tell lies about converting my 87 syncro to diesel power
[ or , more accurately, lack of power] and the many mods, upgrades and
mistakes perpetrated on this poor defenseless van. The lies will be
concerned with costs [wildly underestimated, ease of conversion/
modifications [wildly overestimated] and fuel mileage [hopelessly
optimistic] Bring your own lies and we'll swap.

BenT is again associated with this venture no matter how much he
denies it. He may actually show up, before we go home even.

I'd say more information later but that might be another lie.

Mike from Marin
