Forget the clowns and ponies - here's the deal

I know this is short notice, but this is some serious bidness.
If you're a guy and you like good food, beer and hanging out with like minded individuals, and you want to honor a good friend of all of our's, please send an email to john.barry@hp.com for details.
In order to plan the food we need a headcount.
The event is this friday and I'm trying to get the word out to as many folks as possible.
Trust me, this is a big deal and I'll give you all the details in an email.
Please forward as needed.

thanks
