BamaDope IV Roll Call

August 9-11th. Two weeks!!!

Sign in here, folks. I need an accurate headcount for Friday night… please note if you plan on staying at the KittyHouse (and how many days you’ll be staying) or just coming for dinner and entertainment. I need food allergies/lifestyles (anyone a vegetarian?), I need drink preferences, and I need to know how many smoking urns to set up outside.

Just an FYI: The KittyHouse is not as close to completion as we’d anticipated. The framers are running way behind. But it’ll be clean, we have indoor plumbing ( :wink: ), you’ll have a place to sleep, and I’ll feed you, so if spending a bit of time in a construction site doesn’t bug you too much, it’ll still be a blast.

Anyone needs directions, email me.

-BK

Will get back with you on that, seems work might have me hunkered down for a weekend or two doing crap I might not want to do. I might be able to juggle it towards evenings durring the week instead. Will know more in a week.

OK, I’m officially checking in. I know we’ve talked about this privately, but just for the record:

Yes, staying in the KittyHouse. Two nights. (Yay!)

Non-smoker, definite drinker. Prefer beer (microbrew/import), but just about anything will do. Except straight tequila. :eek:

No food allergies or definite food lifestyle choices. I’m a carnivore, but I also eat vegetarian meals (as long as they’re not too granola-crunch. ;)).

I think that about covers it. Woohoo! :smiley:

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I’ll be there. BK, I’m staying with you at least on Sunday night ('cause you’re such a sweetheart and agreed to drive me to the airport on Monday morning :))-- I have to get back to you about Friday/Saturday nights. Chances are, I’ll be at the KittyHouse, but you never know.

No allergies/food preferences here.

bobkitty, would you mind e-mailing me your phone number so my parents will have a way to reach me in case of an emergency? Thanks. :wink:

Oh, come on, y’all! I know more of you are going to be there.

Nocturne? Simetra? SilkyThreat? Reinhold Messner? Anyone?

Oh yeah! I am there…but not at bobkitty’s. If the plans are still on for Saturday to meet at the zoo, gimme a time and I am there.

God willin’ and the creek don’t rise! :wink:

Reinhold Messner and I won’t be staying at bobkitty’s of course…he’s staying at my house that weekend, God help him…but we’re definitely up for the Saturday afternoon/evening thing.

Well, okay, we’re maybes at this point because my aunt and uncle from Virginia are going to visit, but I think he and I can get free for that afternoon and evening. And I’m definitely up for seeing you guys again, and meeting new ones, and all that.

Also…I finally gave everyone titles in the other thread, if you want to go see what nifty thing I said about you.

Oh, guys…we need an official schedule of some kind. Like what time we’ll be meeting at the zoo, so I know when to get up Saturday morning and so forth.

Plus this a bump to remind all the folks that said a zillion years ago in the other thread that they were coming.

dqa? Rez? FunLvnCriminal?

Anyone else? Birmingham’s not far from the Atlanta area (roughly two hours for me).

As promised earlier, I’ll be there; this is gonna be fun. But in the absence of an official schedule, I haven’t figured out just when or for how long. Chances are probably decent for both nights, if I’m a-drinkin.

Don’t smoke.

Drink preferences: Red Stripe, followed by any good ol American piss beer, followed by anything else. In other words, I’m not that picky. Stronger stuff: Screwdrivers, margaritas, kahlua, amaretto. Probably not all at once.

:: slinks off, hoping bobkitty doesn’t notice him avoiding the other thread ::

I’m there on Friday evening. Soon as I get off from work and can haul my butt up there.

I’ll bring a bottle of Sapphire, and a bottle of Kurant. (Think: Housewarming Gifts.)

Want me to bring my guitar?

::scamper:: ::scamper:: ::scamper:: :: POUNCE ::

Look!! I’ve caught a DQA!!! Go, me. :wink:

Okay. Here’s the semi-official schedule (feel free to put in your own thoughts on the matter):
Friday night at the KittyHouse: 7-ish til bedtime-ish.

Saturday: We’ll all meet at the front entrance of the Zoo at 10:30AM (that’s CST, folks). I’ll be transporting most of the people who will attend Friday night… for those of you who are driving in separately, please make sure you have either my cell number or Noc’s (if she’s willing to share it), so we can avoid hanging out waiting for someone only to find they’re a last-minute cancellation. The Zoo is open until 7; the gardens are open until dusk (round about 8-ish). I figure with 67 acres of gardens and 800 animals to see, plus a stop for lunch, we’ll take much of the day- at the very least til 6-ish.

Saturday night: I know nothing about the night life. We’ll need suggestions on someplace for dinner and then after-dinner entertainment.

Natives?

Silly thing, do you even need to ask? I, for one, very much want you to bring your guitar. :slight_smile:

Do you still have my cheap bottle of birthday champagne? It might as well be put to good use…

I’m NOT going to be in attendance, but I’m formally requesting to attend by proxy. bobkitty has my phone number. At some point during the festivities, you all should call me on my cell phone.

Um…guys?

I realize that 10:30 AM is probably really convenient for y’all, so I’m just going to have to be late.

See, my hometown (where I’m spending the summer), is two hours from Birmingham, which means I’d have to leave by 8:30, probably earlier because I don’t know exactly where the zoo is.

Which means I’d have to get up at 7:30 or earlier. Which means I’d have to kick Reinhold the Sleepy out of the bed early. Which probably will not happen.

I will not be able to arrive until 1 PM, more n’likely. And sharing my cell number probably isn’t a good idea, unless Reinhold will let me give bobkitty his (which he probably will).

So I’ll be a little late.

Oh and Simetra? Bring your guitar.

Count me in. We’ll meet at the Zoo entrance at 10:30. I won’t be at the Friday night festivities because of babysitter issues/timeline but we are very excited about this weekend.
I do live here but I don’t know alot of clubs and stuff so we can play that by ear. It’ll be great!

Note - when i say we, I mean me and FunLvnCriminal.

Regretfully, I won’t be able to attend, even though I was looking forward to it. There’s some things on the homefront I need to get sorted out, unimportant personal stuff, but has to be done. Sorry.

I’ve already posted in the “Call out” thread, and am probably being viciously mauled over there by Bobkitty as I type this.

F*ck…

I’m gonna be at work until late tonight, and I’m not gonna be able to make it up there this evening.

Sorry… I just don’t see myself making the drive after a13 hour day.

:frowning:

Guess I’ll see you all on Saturday.

This is all very good in theory, but your email’s not working.

Apologies for not responding sooner. I tried probably 15 times to post to this thread on Monday, the 5th, and got timed out every time. I’ve been “incomputercado” since.
It’s as I had feared! Work, the curse of the drinking class, reared its ugly head and demanded my presence elsewhere all week and now through the weekend.
Maybe I’ll make it next time.
Meanwhile, y’all have fun, and somebody drink a few dozen Jack and Cokes for me. Spies have informed me that a place near Five Points South, “The Blue Monkey”, rocks.:smiley:
