A KINDLY REQUEST

Dear SND Judges and Assistants,

DO: Call me drunk from the SND judging in Syracuse with insider information about how the judging is going.

DON'T: Call me drunk from the SND judging in Syracuse merely to point out that you are, in fact, in Syracuse. And drunk. These facts are a given and need not be pointed out. The fact that you are also singing karaoke is also of a "given" nature.

Thank you.
