Gee, for a little more than the cost of the stuff from Sweet Celebrations,
you could get *me* there!  hmm, when is that event agian??  Let's talk to
UPS and find out what a ten pound or so box would cost to ship and how long
it would take. I think we can work something out.  And do let me know when
the event is, after all....
