I think I’ll make it this time - I’ve been needing an excuse to visit Atlanta. I know I’ve said that last time but I had a prior commitment. This will be just dinner, right? Is anyone interested in watching Hitchhiker’s Guide afterwards? ---

Hmmm me thinks it might be time to attend a dopefest once and for all. I live in Roswell. ---

So… I’m not dead. But school has me buried neck deep. I missed the last dopefest due to school, and this weekend being the weekend before finals I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it. Sorry folks. Have fun! ---

I may be able to join, and would likely bring my SO also. I’m also rarely in MPSIMS, so I always miss these annoucements. This time, though, I’ll be coming off 10 days in the Caribbean, so I hope I will remember to check back into this thread before the end of May! If anyone considers sending a reminder email, you can find mine in my profile… ---

Thanks! **Opal** , sorry I won’t get to see you guys. Have fun in Athens! ---

Just one last bump for anyone who hasn’t seen the thread before now, or hasn’t checked back in. The details: Tomorrow, Saturday, April 30 at 7 PM at Asada restaurant, 1238 Dekalb Avenue NE. I’ll make a sign for the table and maybe some nametags. If anybody wants to exchange cell numbers, drop me an email. ---

Um… I’m not feeling too well today, but I’d say there’s a 80% chance I’ll be well enough tomorrow to make it. Has someone made a reservation at the restaurant? What name will it be under? ---

I don’t believe they take reservations, but we will be the Cecil Adams party. ---

This have come up that will prevent me from attending this event. Jaade, I’m very sorry I won’t get a chance to meet you before you leave the area. Everyone else, hopefully I’ll be able to meet you all at a future gathering. -Belz ---

What a crappy, ugly day it is today … perfect for bumming around the house looking forward to going out with friends in the evening! Although I can’t really say with a straight face that it is skirt weather … But Bill is such a ManlyMan … 😉 ---

Thank you **Geobabe** for organizing the dopefest! I had a good time. Can we do it again soon so I’ll have another excuese to drive to Atlanta? 😉 In case anyone is curious (probably not), [this](http://www.teeterstelescopes.com/images/cherryscope1.jpg) is the telescope I was picking up. It’s about as tall as me. ---

> [@Fiver](#): > > Frankly, I’m more curious about your date. Hey it was just brunch, what are you expecting? 😃 I think we got along pretty well though, she’s an interesting woman. The 4-hour drive does put a damper on things, however… By the way, anyone got pictures to post? I thought **herownself** took some. You can e-mail them to me if you don’t have anywhere to upload.
