Double bummer, and e-mail fail...I received no notification of this via official channels.
Any talk of rescheduling?
Support the Eyjafjallajokull 21!

Just wait for Katla and then hell is really loose. It will make Eyjafjallajkull look like a bottle of JP Chenet in the Real Wine Attack Week.
I'm stuck in Charnay.
Sorry not to be able to make it to the west coast... So sad.
We (JPB and I)are still on track for NYC if the ashes cloud move on up north.
Frank Peillot is in his car driving to Madrid and hopefully flying tomorrow to San Francisco. Too late for booking us.
We'll be back.

Eric, we all know that you stayed back to arrange for the Lyon/Monaco game to be postponed from the 24th to May 12th, angering Eyjafjallajokull in the process.
Give up on the idea, and the volcano will stop. We have much to drink here.

Depriving America of Texier is the real tragedy in all of this. He dresses like a Texan now and drives a truck!

It's probably one of these. All the chic people in Malibu bought them back in the day. They used a Lambo boat engine (satisfied the urge to own a yacht, drive an SUV, and feel ready to escape marauders, be they Huns or Paparazzi.
They looked cool, you could pick up hoards of kids from school and drop them at equestrian practice, and if you got stuck behind a traffic smashup on the Pacific Coast Highway it was easy to just go up and over the wreckage instead of having to wait around for the carnage to be cleared. Very practical, particularly if you had a vineyard up on one of the steep slopes and it either caught on fire or slid due to rain, because you could always get out.
Except for the times when this vehicle (not really a car, not really a tractor, not really a boat, not really a dune buggy) broke down. This happened about every two weeks.It got so bad that the local Malibu dealership (Rambo's Malibu Lambos) went out of business because nobody bothered to buy parts anymore. They'd just pick them off of the carcasses of the LM002s that had been left on the side of the road. Scavengers would take what they needed for their own LM002s and the owners of the busted ones would file a claim with the insurance company and buy an Aston Martin to replace it. Rambo's Malibu Lambos would have been okay if they had the Aston Martin dealership, but they were big on Bricklins back then and it just wasn't happening for them so when they went out of business, there wasn't anyone around to even fix these things.
To the best of my knowledge, the busted Lambo offroaders were all melted down for scrap that was later recycled and turned into push-up bras to be used by Hollywood starlets, thereby lending no small bit of appropriateness to the Malibu lifestyle.

Yes, if you ever make it here, we have a couple of old oxidized white riojas and a couple of strange portugese wines to cheer you up...
