I’ll be there. I got permission from my social director to go out and meet online friends IRL for the first time. I’m so excited. No, really! What should I bring? ---

Yay!! Glad you can make it, Ethilrist…judging from the convo here I recommend you bring a camera 😃 Actually, though, if y’all could talk to each other and decide who’ll bring what…SW and imthjckaz are bringing guacamole and chips. Need something with sugar yet, and maybe veggies and dip? Pop? ---

Yeah! I’m disappointed too, goldurnit. And I’m definitely gonna come, too, if only to actually tip a cow. I’ve always wanted to tip a cow. (This is planned for the weekend where we lose to the Saints, right?) ---
