Three clarifications please:
1. Please let us know if you'll be coming if you haven't already. We'd
appreciate to hear from you by early next week.
2. There are three additional motivations for the party:
- It's St. Patrick's Day on March 17
- It's my birthday on March 22
- March 13 is the most glorious day of the year, when daylight savings
time starts
3. It has come to my attention that the tree kangaroo from the last email is
probably Matschie's tree kangaroo (*Dendrolagus matschiei*), which only
lives in New Guinea and is therefore probably inappropriate as the party
mascot. Instead, here's a family of quokkas from Rottnest Island:

Dear friends,
You and your spouses/partners/lovers are invited to the premier social
event of the season,
*Shuting and Ivan's going-away party!
*
7:30 pm on Saturday, March 19
86 Summer St, Watertown
*Motivation:*
1. Saying bye-bye to everybody
2. Import duties for alcohol to Australia are rather high, so we need to
get rid of our substantial stash before we leave
3. Likewise, food import is generally prohibited, so come claim your 2-lb
bag of frozen peas! Also available: fine teas, furniture
*Format:*
Cocktails!
Garage sale!
*Directions:*
By bus, take #71 from Harvard Station to the end (about 20 min), then walk
two blocks.
If driving, look it up on Google Maps. Street parking permitted, ample, and
free.
Hope to see you all,
Shuting and Ivan
