Date of Soapy's Wake confirmed
The 4th annual Soapy Smith Wake at the Magic Castle in Hollywood, California will be on Saturday July 12, 2008. This marks the first event NOT held on July 8, the actual date of Soapy's demise. This year July 8 falls on a Tuesday and so Whit Haydn of the Magic Castle asked Jeff Smith if the Smith family would consider allowing the event at the Castle to take place on Saturday night July 12 this year, rather than on the proper date, which is a Tuesday. It was agreed to in consideration to those who travel great distances to attend the gala. Last year there were attendees coming from as far away as Chicago, who plan to again come across the nation to pay their respects to this infamous bunco man. The Soapy Wake just keeps growing and getting better. Everyone that I know who attends a Wake gets hooked and can't wait for the next years affair. There are no signs that it will slow down. The first Wake held at the Magic Castle was confined to one room. We now take over all three floors of the Castle! July 8 marks the 110 anniversary of Soapy's death. This year will be the 34th annual Wake in Skagway, Alaska where Soapy was killed, and the 4th annual Wake at the Magic Castle. Due to the Magic Castle date of July 12, the White Horse Movie Ranch has started up an event that will take place on July 8 for those who wish to properly honor Soapy on the actual day he died. Do let us know if you would like to attend one of the Wakes. The Magic Castle is a member and guests only club but there is little problem in getting those truly interested inside for the fun. More news to come... |

I'll be there!
No trees were killed in the making of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
