Hello, Brother. As this year's Humbug at Peter Lebeck, it's my honor to invite you to join us for our 51st Annual Fall Doin's September 28-30, 2012, at Clamp Okihi in Bakersfield, California. If you haven't seen us lately, and most especially if you've never seen us, this would be a great time to come to one of our doin's and get acquainted. The Brothers of PXL are among the friendliest in all of Clamperdom. Join us at Clamp Okihi and we'll make sure you are made to feel at home. At Peter Lebeck we're not so large that you'll ever feel lost and we're not so small that you'll ever feel like you've wandered into someone else's private party. Come on down, and you'll soon discover that the Lebeckians may be your best bunch of brothers from another mother that you've ever had a chance to meet. And remember! You may leave a weirder but you'll never leave a stranger after a Doin's at PXL.
For our Fall Doin's we've decided to go back to Clamp Okihi to make it easier for our brothers on the western side to the Sierras and the San Joaquin Valley to get to know us. In the spring, we did the desert, and next year we'll go to the mountains, but this fall we'll be going Clamping beside the Kern River. We'll be close enough to town and major freeways to still give you good RV access, but far enough away to give you a chance to relax. If you live in Bakersfield, just tell the Widder you're stepping out for a bit to make a few friends and you'll be back on Sunday. I'm sure she'll understand.
If you came by last year for our Fiftieth Anniversary Celebration, then you know that Clamp Okihi is a nice, easy going venue with trees, a big lawn, fire rings and an amphitheater where much of the really silly stuff occurs. Already our Clamps Hostrix Kevin "The Yeti" Oviatt, and my right-hand Redshirt, VNGH Russ "Hole" Chapman, are plotting a few extra special things to get us all in a laughing mood. And if you have a good friend who's lucky enough to be invited to PBC, our Hangman Ton Gray and his head Vigilante Bob "Bababooey" Hernandez are plotting an extra special ambush to keep him in terror and you in stiches.
You'll both want to be there on Friday night when the fun starts with the "CLONG SHOW!" Now keep in mind that at PXL we don't harass PBCs on Friday, but if you brought a victim, you are encouraged to show us what you brought, 'cuz it's a great time to put him on the spot. In fact everybody -be ye RED or be ye not RED YET-is encouraged to try his luck against the CLONG! Be it a joke, a song, a magic trick, a belly dance, or your best imitation of Elvis - you name it! It's all welcome entertainment at Friday night's impromptu talent extravaganza! And if you play a musical instrument, I encourage you to bring that too because we'd really like to see what you've got!
Of course we'll continue to have all the satisfying and satisfactory cuisine that PXL is known for. In the tradition of last year's Gumbo and last spring's Chile Verde, Friday Night's Dinner, which will be a little French number called "Mamá Timbo Gillespie's Mesoamerican Pot Roast a lá Medium Green Mikée." How could a Real Clamper possibly pass up a really good POT ROAST?
In fact it will be just one of four hot meals. Saturday's breakfast is a potluck cooked by our sunny Greybeards. You bring the meat and tortillas and we provide the eggs and beverages. For Saturday's dinner you'll get a large Ribeye Steak with all the fixin's, and on Sunday morning we'll even send you off with a continental breakfast and a hot cup o' Joe. Everything is included for a very reasonable rub. While you still have to bring your own adult libations, no one goes away with an empty tummy, and that makes for a lot less hassle and a lot more fun.
And if you want to up your enjoyment (and show your generosity), you'll want to compete in Saturday Nights' second "1st Annual" Yucca-off! Bring all the fixin's and show us how you rock! Then don't forget to stick around for our raffle and for Brother Hole's "Red Tube Video Extravaganza." You're invited to add to Russ's selections, just bringing your own favorite adult humor on a flashdrive. If they'll play on Windows Media Player, Brother Hole will mix them in for all to see. Just remember, bawdy is good, but no porn, religion or politics, please.
Last but not least, you'll definitely want to bring a PBC to this one. Whether they're young and green or old and man-o-pausal, we will take them and make them into something their mommas will definitely hide from the neighbors. Our initiation is clean and fun, with a history lesson by none other than our own Gene Duncker, PXP; and our HOCO is memorable and respectful.
So won't you join us? Just download the flyer from our webpages and mail your rub in the old fashioned way, or use the optional electronic sign-up pages including PayPal. Just make sure you RSVP by September 21st to save $10. Either way, you'll be glad you did.
Clampfraternally,
