Dope the Halls IV - MADs take note

[Weirddave]

Well, we weren't sure if we were going to do this this year because of the baby, but Jimmy's in perfect health, he's a happy baby and so we thought "why not?". The only change is that we're gonna have the MAD Xmas/Hanukkah/Eid-Al-Fitr/seasonal holiday dopefest on a Saturday afternoon instead of at night.

We're shooting for December 11th. We expect you all to show up on our doorstep around 2:00 and stay until the food is gone, although it probably won't run as late as last year's dopefest. We'll probably do a turkey and assorted other things.

Who's in? MADs of course, but whoever will be in the area, or indeed wants to come just for it, will be welcomed, just come and have fun, but let us know who's comin' first.

I'll think about showing.

I'll pencil this one in and get back with a final confirmation later.

I'll check with my sweetie and get back to you.

Dang -- the office Christmas party is that night -- this makes three things I'd rather do that day (four, if you include "stay home and pick lint out of my navel"), but I really have to go to that.

[Biggirl]

Even if we can't talk The Dan into taking a day off of work and driving us, I'm sure the boy and I can find a way to make it there. We'll get to planning right now.

Put us firmly in the "maybe" category. This is the Saturday before finals, and it depends on how much I need to study.

Hey, that's great! You do realize that we don't live in Brooklyn, don't you? While I'd love to have you, I'd hate to be responsibile of you poked your nose out of Brooklyn and something ate you, like a crab out of it's shell.

I might be able to show up. I know there are other plans that day, I just don't know the time right now.

[Lute Skywatcher]

I'll try to make it, assuming the car we're picking up this weekend is in as good as shape as it's made out to be. It's from my girlfriend's brother and we're trusting him.

[Agent Foxtrot]

I'll be there. Want me to bring anything?

I guess I should give some directions, eh? Please email me at gingerofthenorth at hotmail dot com, and I will send out directions within the next couple of days.

Hey! That Darn Cat pointed me to this thread in a MB for the D&D game he runs (which was set up on a SDMB thread!) I don't spend much time in MPSIMS, so I might have missed it otherwise.

I've never been to a Dopefest before, but I've had such a good time meeting Dopers through the D&D game, I definitely will attend this one!

Will anyone be driving from Metro stop? (I live in Takoma Park.) I can drive myself, but it's a work car, and I'm afraid too many unauthorized trips to Baltimore might get me in hot water eventually. Plus, it would be nice to partake of holiday cheer!

[Alan Smithee]

moi, I missed your post the first time I looked at the thread! So you and TDC will be there? Awesome!

[Weirddave]

Well, the planning in the weird-north household has reached the final stages. We'll be getting directions out to everyone in the next day or so, but the time has come for everyone to pony up on what y'all will be bringing to the party. We have a turkey, and we'll be making stuffing, gravy and a green bean casarole as well. Opalcat will be bring a broccoli casarole, but everything else is wide open. Who wants to bring what? Some suggestions:

Chips
Dip
Salad
Beer
Soda
A vegtable tray
Hor'dourves
Cheese
Wine
Cookies
Something else I'm not thinking of at the moment.

The floor is open, pitch in!

I can't wait to see all of y'all Saturday!
