Yeah, the 13th is good. But really, so long as it’s not between the 6th-8th, anything’s good. ---

I may have a conflict, but maybe not. So, Saturday, the 13th of September it is? Still 4:00? Shady Grove? Chuy’s? Somewhere else? ---

Yeah, the weekend of the 6th is bad for me as well. Of course, Saturday isn’t really good for me either, but there’s more of a chance for me to rearrange my schedule, so I’ll put in my vote for the 13th as well. Again, I’m for Chuy’s, but now that I think of it, there’s also Wan Fu Too right down the street. Anyone adverse to Chinese? ---

If I can make it, Chinese is fine. ---

I just made plane reservation for Darth Nader and me. We will be there on Sept. 13, 4:00. Please tell us where (address, etc,). Also, we need suggestions for a hotel in the neighborhood. ---

EEP! Uh, we’re going up there for other things besides a Dopefest. So if (for whatever reason) plans fail to gel, I’m not going to get all pissy about it. Just in case, ya know? 😉 ---

The 13th should be OK for me - providing I’m not in Angola (the country in Africa, not the prison in Louisiana). ---

Cool! mr. emilyforce has been agitating to go see the bats again anyway. So, like, is the 13th a go? And where at? Chuy’s, Shady Grove, or Wan Fu Too? Woo-hoo! I’m gonna meet me some Dopers! ---

Chuy’s! Yay! We’ll see y’all there. Shall we wear, say a pink gardenia so y’all know us? ---

We always put the table under the name Adams. Of course, last time we went to Chuy’s, the hostess just told me “Oh, they’re in the back” so this can be of limited usefulness.
