Pre-Fest Note from the Artistic Director

All Hail BirdieKing Duke (who I assume cheated his way to a rock, paper, scissors victory over me, nice work)!!!

Despite your best efforts you are once again being invited to participate in the Hackfest. The event is scheduled for the weekend after labor day (Thursday, September 4-Sunday, September 7), in approximately the same (but different) northern Illinois location as last year.

Note the following:

1. Eric will get the housing details out when he feels like wasting time on you (he is once again the thankless frontman for accommodations). Please respond promptly to any Eric Petersen requests.

2. Let me know as soon as possible if you will NOT be attending, otherwise your attendance is assumed (Trent is not playing again this year because of Gary, . . . or a prior commitment). Also give me a yes or no on Thursday golf (voluntary), Friday-Sunday is required Hackfest Golf.

3. At the current moment, all golf is scheduled to be played at the Boone Creek Golf Club in Bull Valley, Illinois, Accommodations near McHenry Illinois. This is not too far north of Chicago.

4. First tee times are: Thursday, September 4, 1:00; Friday, September 5 11:00; Saturday, September 6, 11:00; Sunday, September 7, 8:30.

5. Champions dinner is Friday night at a location to be determined. Everyone contributes to help pay for the no-longer-Birdie King's dinner.

6. $30 entry fee -pay me when you first see me. CASH. I will not talk to you or allow you to participate in Hackfest related events until I get $30 cash from you (some $5 bills and singles appreciated). No EFTs or IOUs. That money pays: $150 to the Birdie King on Sunday; $30 to each winning team member on Saturday; 2 skins each day Friday-Sunday in the amount of $15-20 each for lowest score (relative to par) on highest handicapped hole (or next, or next, etc. . . ) in each 9-hole format. If no single winner (ties among teams and individuals) the money is pushed to up the value of the rest of the skins.

7. Because you don't remember your team memberships, they are: Team F*** Those Guys: Duane, Chaz, Travis, Brett, Gary, Jeff, David, Duke, and Panther. Mr. T. and A Team: Tom, Trent, John, Phil, Roger, Eric, Ding, Spesh, and Tim. You are expected to wear sanctioned team gear on Friday and Saturday.

8. I will forward the rules once the Cray spits them out.

Be well, honor Duke, listen to Eric, and, if you are a member of Mr. T. and the A-Team, overtrain until injured.

Your humble Hackfest Artistic Director,

Brett R. Johnson
