FYI Original Message: ----------------- From: Mark Van Wie mark(a)muddypig.com Date: Thu, 25 May 2006 13:18:57 -0500 To: mark(a)muddypig.com Subject: Muddy Pig / Happy Gnome Hi, Sorry if you are getting this twice, technical glitch this morning. The Happy Gnome patio is now open. Pretty much the same size as the old Chang's patio but it has been completely rebuilt. It's big, it's beautiful and it's the place to be this Memorial Day weekend. And to celebrate we are having a patio party next Thursday, June 1. Live music from 5-8 and the introduction of the newest Surly beer, CynicAle. And unlike some patios in town, The Happy Gnome and The Muddy Pig serve great beers on the patio in real glass. Now a blatant pitch for donations. On June 10-11 I will be riding my 10th MS150, a fund raiser for the MS Society of Minnesota. Two days on a bicycle riding 150 miles from Duluth to White Bear Lake. If I can ride 150 miles in generally crazy weather the least you can do is make a donation to support the cause. Most people donate $25-$100, whatever you feel comfortable with. You can write a check payable to "MS Society" and drop it off at The Muddy Pig or, even easier, go to www.mssociety.org <http://www.mssociety.org/> , click on epledge, enter Mark van Wie and make your donation online. Thank you for your support. Have a fun and safe weekend. Mark -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ .
