It didn't say it in the Wikipedia entry, but is the name based on Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer?

Or Santa. . .

Alan

I'm certainly interested in all of the activities, including the three round tables.

Murph, are you flying in tomorrow or are you already here?

Sadly I couldn't get drinking Jenga .

Yes, it is. In French, "nez rouge" is hard not to associate with a reindeer (their logo is a red-nosed reindeer).

Hmmmm, with the folks that will be in attendance, I figured there would be PLENTY of red noses without having to add more.

So this would really be non-red nose Red Noses... Oh, never mind.

Ian - I'll likely do all three of the round tables and, without doubt, the BBQ. I am looking forward to seeing how many folks it will take to get a moose on the grille. BTW - Jack likes his antlers crispy.

Hey Ken - neener, neener, neener!!!!

Hi Mark,

I'm hoping to join you, but last minute party prep might have me tied up. I'll just show up if I find myself free. No worries if there isn't enough room, I can happily drink while standing!

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Andrew

Andrew, I'd gladly give up my chair for you anytime; just ask .

Peter and Tom,

Since you are either already there or will be shortly, the rest of us have a simple request.

Please do NOT consume all of the beer in the area. We will be thirsty when we arrive.

Good call, Ray!
