Subject: Annual FCG Beach Party
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fun filled night
that started a dozen years ago, when the party just went right.
The host was a seasoned cookin' man, the hostess sweet and bright...
Those of you with traces of grey adorning your skulls might possibly jostle
some old brain cells with the reading of the above lines. Younger folks
probably have little, if any, rememberance of Gilligan's Island, a popular
television show a, uh, well, um, just a few years back. Shorter term
memories might recall last year about this time when Mark and Karen hosted
the annual Fat Chance Garage Beach Party. The pirate theme that evening was
well received, some folks really got into it.
This year's rendition of the annual festivities will again have a theme,
which you might have guessed is Gilligan's Island. Hey, it's billed as a
beach party, so why not the beach which claimed the Minnow and its seven
stranded castaways:
Gilligan, the Skipper too,
the millionaire and his wife
the movie star, the professor
and Mary Ann
Last year's theme produced some great outfits, be it corporate, software,
music, Pittsburgh or seven seas pirates. Gilligan's Island is not conducive
to such creativity, since the cast was, uh, normal folks wearing normal
clothes. But hey, if you've got an extra $50 burning through your pocket,

Remember what role Bob Denver played in the Dobie Gillis show?
As for the party, feel free to pay homage to your favorite Gilligan
character, or just show up as yourself, we're not picky. You might want to
bring a potluck dish, soft drinks for the kids. There might be some hand
crafted, fermented, barley-based beverages on hand. If you'd prefer to wet
your whistle with something else, you'll have to drag it along. You might
not need much if you're only here for the three hour tour....
What: Annual Fat Chance Beach Party
When: Saturday, Feb. 26th, 7 pm
Where: 739 South Park Street ( 540 East) Salt Lake City
