Austin Dopers-up for a Dopefest?

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
81

I’m able to go if we meet at noon. Unfortunately, I’m unable to get out of work that day, and I have to be in at 5:00. Given location and traffic and the like, I would have to leave at 4:30, meaning I’d get to have half a basket of chips, one drink, and hang out with the first few stragglers who show up and probably never even get to a proper seat.

But that’s my strife! I’d like to go and see everyone, but if meeting early is too much of a hassle, don’t worry about it.

But yeah, I’m up for noon.

82

Four works for better for me too, but eating twice at Chuy’s in one day wouldn’t be too much of a chore. :smiley:

Don’t we have a couple of dopers flying in at four?

83

Darth Nader and I are flying in to Austin Friday evening. We are staying downtown, have a bus schedule and are planning to do a lot of walking. We’ll be easily recognized by the hayseed clinging to our clothes and by our stiff necks from looking at all the big ol’ buildings. Noon or 4:00 or both works equally well for us.

Somebody make a decision!

84

Something just came up… so it’ll be a lot easier for me to come if it’s at 4.

85

Well then, don’t worry about it. Go back to the 4:00 time, and I’ll just catch you guys next time. Have fun, and catch a bat for me.

86

Damn. As a lifelong troglodyte, 4pm is easier for me, but I am more than willing to get up even more earlier than usual to hang with the Dopers.

If it’s coming down to a vote, I gotta go with 4:00. But if folks go with the noon meeting time, I’m sure Palikia will bang on my door in time for us to make it.

More logistics: How many are going, do we need to reserve some space there, and should I wear my new black velvet top hat with the purple feather in it?

87

Oh, and bump :wink:

88

Are we going to call 4 o’clock official?

If so, we should all check in and get a roll-call

89

Darth Nader and I will be there at 4:00 this Saturday. Who else?

90

I’ll be there.

91

I will!

92

emilyforce and fmhoyt, we gon’ be there

93

There.

94

I count seven so far, Who else is in?

95

Anyone else? Bueller?

96

Ya know, I don’t have anything to do for lunch that day.

Wanna get together, El Elvis Rojo?

97

Thanks for the invite Darth Nader, but my roomate has a guest in from England, so we took him out for Mexican yesturday, and I got my Chuy’s fix in. Plus, after this past session of bills, it’s a bit of a blessing that I won’t have an excuse to spend more money. So you guys don’t worry about me and have a great time! Catch a bat for me. I’m gonna name him “Petey”.

98

Still holding steady at seven. Where’s everyone else?

99

Bingo - I’m planning on it.

Hey all, I’m going to be away from my 'puter after tonight. If anything changes, could someone please send a “heads up” message via the email addy in my profile?

(I can check that account w/ my cellphone.)

And nobody’s said if I should wear the hat or not… :frowning:

Anyways, see y’all there, and yee-haw!
