A couple of days back, Jeff noted: We just passed 01:02:03 on 04/05/06, a pretty rare numerological event in the "Common Era." He went on to invite us to an inspired party on 12:34:56 on 07/08/09. Not being a party animal, I would rather have that early rather than later. Since, the VON crowd is truly global and the fact that many use dd/mm/yy notation, we should plan the party on May 4 th of this year. Further I suggest that in keeping with the global perspective, the party should start at that rare time in the International date line (+) area and end at that time in the International date line (-) area.
Probably Jeff can facilitate a virtual party, where we can get together in the party room and “chat”. Of course, the background music will be representing the area which is going through the rare time (in case people don’t want to listen to Herding Cats for the whole day :-) ).
