[sumo] L.A. Sumo tickets

[Jeffrey Anderson]

Wish I were going! I have had many on this listserve ask me if I was going and some have asked me if I would arrange another sumofans dinner again like I did in Vegas. However, the weekend after L.A., my niece is getting married in the Silicon Valley. Back to back cross-country flights are not on our agenda and we had to choose which one to go to. Since it's my wife's brother's daughter, I gave her the choice. She chose the wedding, but I got in the last word: "Yes, dear." :-)

Best regards,
Jeffrey Anderson
