Here is the official invite to the whatever annual(nth) Open Fields. In order to keep the list cops happy (as happy as they can be, eh Cameron? ;-) the rules, terms, and directions to the fields will be direct replies. If you plan on attending, please let me know! There is no cost to the event, beyond what it costs you to get here. I am pleased to announce that we will have several foreign dignataries attending, including but not limited to, the one and only Ms Dewi all the way from the Netherlands. Henning Petersen has also given hints that he will attend all the way from Denmark. There will also be the usual assortment of 'local' celebrities including Wendell Peters (from Judicial Flavors- Las Vegas), John Hard (CaJohn's Fiery Foods- Columbus Ohio), and many others (Rael?). There'll be gifts for most all attending, lots of good times, good food, tall tales, and a chance to chat chiles and swap lies with folks from all over the world. Rarely, if ever, will you have such a chance to co-mingle with such a diverse group of chile heads. Please let me know. My busy season has officially started and I need to make plans. Thanks again for letting me do this and be honored with your alls' attendance! -Jim C Mild to Wild
