Here are some photos from FLUKE 2005.

FLUKE was a success, even thought the entire town was under a sheet of ice that made a lot of getting around pretty much impossible.I'd like to personally thank all of the people who came out to Tasty World Saturday, as well as apologize to all of the people who didn't make it because of Ice Storm 2K5.



I want to start this off by apologizing for forgetting people's names or getting them wrong. If you recognize yourself or someone else on here who is either unidentified or identified incorrectly, them you can email me at rnewsome (at) uga (dot) edu and I'll get to correctin'

Let's go...

Here's the view out the back door the morning of FLUKE.


And here's Drew and Antar on our Arctic expedition to Tasty World. I fell down.

Okay, there are more, but those are the really good ones. Except for this one:




There are still copies of the FLUKE 2005 anthology available for $5.00 ppd from PO Box 948, Athens Georgia 30603. You most certainly want one of these. Contributor copies will be mailed later this week. I have to go to the dentist Wednesday. I'm so totally happy about this.
