Ok, one week to go. Just to put a little spice in it, we may have a surprise visitor. Someone who hasn’t been to the board for a long time. This is still in the works, though, so I won’t say anything more for now. 😉 ---

You guys have a drink (or twelve) in my honor, k? \*\* With this crowd, I think 12 is a vast underestimation – we’ll probably have many, many more drinks in your honor. Me, I discovered how much fun vodka is at SLO, so maybe I’ll try something new and exciting to get wasted on. ---

OK folks. A new patio table has been purchased to replace the one that broke. The deck has been cleaned. The grill has been scrubbed. The linens have been washed and the house has been dusted. But most importantly, the liquor has been ordered. Demo has taken care of the beer, and today I placed an order for a case of wine to be delivered to my cube Friday. We will be doing the food shopping one of these nights. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday!! ---

As far as I know, as of right this second, I’ll be there. As long as **pat** promises not to act all squirrelly. Anything I should bring? ---

Yay! What time do you want us there? I’ll be bringing up some of the leftover booze from SLO-Dope, would you like me to bring anything else? ---

Anytime works for me. I figure we should have things moving along nicely by 2 or 3 or 4 pm. Heh. I don’t know. Whatever works is fine with us. I think we should have things well in hand, nothing I can think of that we’ll require. I don’t know if Demo plans on buying Garden Burgers or anything, so any vegetarians may want to bring whatever they care to eat. That’s about all I can think of. ---

Just want to confirm that I’ll be there (just in case there is anybody that won’t be going unless they are assured of seeing me). I’ll bring something suitably vegetarian for myself and something suitably liquid and blue to share. ---

Hey Obfus - I still have plenty of your liquid blue stuff from SLO that I’ll be bringing along, I think there is quite a bit left. Of course I don’t think anybody will object if you want to buy more. 🙂 ---

Either West Oakland or Lake Merritt (or any other BART station, for that matter) will work. Just lemme know a time and i’ll be there. Thanks! ---

Oh, and tell **Jack Batty** I said “Happy Birthday.” And **Demo** , your webcam keeps crashing my Internet application, be it IE5 or Netscape. I’ve had it; I’m leaving (well, leaving to get ready for the Phoenix Dopefest, not because I’m fed up with your webcam). ---
