[Punchline: who's up for a party in Seattle on Saturday?]

And in truth, I don't trust you one whit. So on the heels of our latest three
hour WISEN planning bash, I'm storming right up there to set you straight and
get this forty-minute operetta buffo off the ground.

You have a lot riding on it.
As for me, I already stocked the bar at your apartment, and I want my money's
worth...

Adam's in Vegas in the meantime, so I'm fishing for activities on the Fourth.
Any volunteers/victims/partners-in-crime?

Boing!

PS. Adam, where should you leave your car keys at the airport? The red capet
club is a big hassle away from Alaska's gates, but it seems to be the only
option... unless you see one of those baggage lockers that uses a combination
lock we can use as a drop-site. Or you could leave it in a pew at the
Meditation Room: http://www.quickaid.com/airports/sea/company/0528.html

Actually, the correct answer is Baggage Storage (a/k/a Key Escrow):
