That’s too soon. For me anyway. I’ll be in Mobile for a Star Trek gathering that weekend. Oh well. ---

Okay, I say January 13, a Saturday; we will meet in Birmingham. Everyone get to emailing me with your RSVP and how many are attending. MandaJo is the only one so far. I think this should give you enough time to plan to be off work or get out of that Elvis festival you’ve hosted for the last few years. All Mississipians are invited also. It can be a Southeast Dopefest, since there seem to be so relatively few of us. As of right now it is MandaJo and me and our SO’s. That is a seriously weak show, guys. Let’s Go! PS - guess where I’ll be this weekend? Roll Tide! ---

January 13. Excellent. I’m in. I shall ask my girlfriend if she wants to attend as well. We’ll see if we can postpone the Hank Williams-themed greased-pig-ketchin’ party we had planned for that day. 🙂 Damn you for being at the big game. I thought that, with Bama’s season this year, I’d be able to get cheap tickets. I should have known that there’s no such thing for the Auburn/Alabama game. My SO is in grad school in Tuscaloosa, so she has an el cheapo student ticket. I’ll be standing in Egan’s, on the strip, cheering and getting schnockered. 🙂 ---

Ok I have to go to Illinois this weekend for a funeral which is going to jumble my on-call days… I still hope to know my mid Dec if that is ok. Osip ---
