Dear Patrick,
Thank you for writing. Even after some 40+ years of world-renown, I still LOVE receiving fan mail. Your note's timing was especially auspicious, as it arrived during a time of deep personal reflection. In fact, I'm happy to address your queries directly!
To begin, you asked, "You've stated many times that, 'After midnight, we gonna let it all hang out.' My sentiments exactly, Eric. Really. But, in the interests of those with, say, small children or other early morning obligations, is it possible that we could let it all hang out *prior* to midnight? Say, tennish?"
I'm sorry, but: No, Patrick... only AFTER midnight should we (or anyone, for that matter) let it all hang out.
Your follow-up question posed, "If not, is it possible that we could let it *partially* hang out after midnight?"
Again, no (sorry :-/) ... After midnight, you see, we gonna let it ALL hang out.
I hope this clears up the matter for you. Thanks again for your support!
- Eric Clapton
ps How cool: My middle name is "Patrick"!! ;-) Write back soon!!

You get the most interesting mail. Oddly enough, Flannery and I plan on letting it all hang out on the 31st at Mulligans Pub here in Canton with some of the local bloggers, but we are starting at about seven. Why don't you blow off whatever obligations you have and come join us? Pa. ain't that far away and the drinks are on me. Hell, I'll even take you to Tiki and put you up for the night. What could be sweeter?
Hope you can make it. I need an experienced hand with some homemade fireworks I've been working on. Get back to me.

Wow, I always knew you were cool - but now - it's official.
WOW - That Eric's a real stickler for the rules, eh?
And on a side note, what's been up w/ me lately... using "eh" so much?
Just be careful about zipping up AFTER letting it all hang out AFTER midnight. Zipper snags suck.
You've been tagged over at my place.

Hmmm I always heard that if you wanna hang out you've got to take her out. And by her I mean Cocaine. After all, she don't lie.
Could you e-mail Disturbed for me? I wanna know what animal David's immitating, and what he's saying in that animal's voice, when he does that "WHA-ca-ca-ca" thing. I mean, there could be some deep meaning behind that, ya know?
Brilliant.
