We are still looking for photos of Blitzo. If you have them, please get with me or Russ to send them either electronically or if you have multiples perhaps send us a disk. If possible include any details about the photo or better yet - imprint details on the "slide" so all we need to do is add it to the show. Ideally, if you have good shots can you get on this sooner vs. later as they will be shown on the slideshow during the memorial.
Also, those of you who would like to help with the Memorial.... we need the following items and volunteers.
Pre-Memorial preppers for the Gordon Ranch (11/8pm and 11/9 am)
Post-Memorial cleaners and haulers of trash (11/10am)
Christmas lights, electrical cords and other lighting for venue
Large Trash cans
Tables & Chairs for food and people to sit eat and enjoy conversation

Todd and I both guessed 150 people two months back when still in planning stages; I believe we'll be close to that. I'm probably going to order some more Beer & Food just in case.
If you enjoyed Blitzo either in person, virtually or his photography and want to share in a wonderful send off then please do come and join us for his Memorial.
It will be a grand get together of friends, his sister Marta & husband, story telling and music! Unfortunately, Billy's twin brothers will not be able to attend.
Blitzo's sister Martha is generously covering the expense of the event so we don't need anything on that end. I think I can speak for her in amazement and gratitude for all the generosity the Super Topo community did for Billy during his fight.
If you're willing to contribute some time to prepare the Gordon Ranch in clean up, lights and overall set up that's great. Or, seems we've got a good crew for that now, better yet may be be to hang back on Sunday for post-party clean up.

Out of the country that weekend (being insufferable on public forum). Damnit, I knew Blitzo only online from here and Todd's jtree forum. Was he droll or wry? Ah, he was something else.
One exchange I'll never forget, as it highlighted my naivete about most things criminal, was when he declared he was going on a government sponsored vacation. I replied, "have a good trip", or something to that effect, believing he really was going on vacation. Vacation from what job? should have been my first and only clue In reality, he was going to log 3 months in the slammer for some peccadillo. Cheers Blitzo.

I also wondered about camping. I don't know where the "Pit" is. I'd like to camp in, or near the park. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the suggestions! - hate to impose on the Gordons with so many of their close friends coming and assuming they will be spending the night already.
Probably go with The Pit or Dry Lakebed but we'll leave our options open and just party right into the dirt (somewhere). LOL!
*If someone wants to join forces at either of above speak up!

Dr. F: You can camp at Todd's for the Night
Get there early for better parking spots
Dr. F, like many great libs before him, is being somewhat overgenerous with a resource that he does not own.
Todd is too nice to say it, but...
Ideally revelers should look into camping somewhere other than Todd and Andreas. There will probably be about 200 people attending, partying, and bugging the neighbors at this event. No way the venue, ie: Todds house, yard and the surrounding public streets, can take a ton of campers too. Check the links above for alternatives.
If you are really stuck, email me and I'll toss you some other ideas.
