The mystery guests.


BLACK POWER was this year's Mystery Guest theme, giving us a chance to invite some of our favorite black skaters along for the ride. Unfortunately, two of the legends failed to show--Clyde Firth of Clyde, c.50 mi (80 km) long and 2 to 25 mi (3.2–40 km) wide, an arm of the North Channel, extends SW from Dunoon to Ailsa Craig. It is rimmed by yacht basins, summer resorts, and small ports. Bute, Arran, and the Cumbraes are the chief islands., who called later in the afternoon to let us know he slept through his flight, and Shiloh Shiloh (shī`lō), town, central ancient Palestine, the modern Khirbet Seilun, the West Bank, NNE of Jerusalem. In biblical times it lay in the territory of Ephraim. The Hebrews were, apparently, the first to build extensively on the site., who called us blind drunk at 4:30 in the morning the night before to garble conspiracy theories and remind us that he used to skate with Guy and Rudy. A big thanks to the guests who did make it, and to Windsor James and Abdias Abdias (ăbdī`əs), Vulgate form of Obadiah. Rivera, the talented replacements.
