Well?!? The boy needs an approprite sendoff. I’m available the 16th, 18th, 19th, 21st and MAYBE the 22nd. Great gobbits of animal flesh, copiuos alcoholic beverages, and females with great mamalian protuberances need to be consumed on these dates. ---

I will slobber that boy with kisses, just to embarrass him. When and where, I don’t care. ---

Sounds awesome! I didn’t make it to the last one. Mr. Elysium wants to come along too. Plus I work in Maden now and not Plymouth, so I have a flexible schedule. Choose a day. ---

I’m in, schedule permitting. Bartley’s (depending on the crowd and the hour), maybe a duck boat tour (I see them from my window, still haven’t done that)? ---

Is it wrong that I want photos of the pantsing and the slobbery kisses? If it is wrong, I don’t care…I want them anyway. ---

Bartley’s is the burger place in Harvard Square, correct? Sounds like fun. I may have to come along but just nurse a soda, as I am incredibly, unbelievably broke. All our money is going to the apartment we just moved into. But I do want to see you all again, and some for the first time. ---

I’m going to say maybe here, although I’ve had a poor history with these lately. Thing is, I’ve been traveling a lot for work and that makes getting out for recreation difficult. I have, however, also been pretty gloomy lately, and huge gobbits of animal flesh might cheer me up some. I’ll pass on the boobage, though. Still, I’ll keep an eye on the thread. ---

[/QUOTE] I’d be glad to chip in for your meal. If it’s someplace really cheap, like Bartley’s, I’ll just cover you. The reservation I have about that place is that it gets pretty busy, and doesn’t seem like somewhere where you can linger for a long time. The beauty of other 'fests is that we were never rushed. I’d be perfectly happy with **Auto** choosing the place, although I’m thinking that sushi might be a bit expensive for some folks. ---

But I don’t mind at all just coming for the company! So please don’t feel obligated. I’ll go wherever \*\*Auto \*\*chooses. I don’t know yet if hubby will come, but I’ll try to make him. He HATES feeling like others are pitching in for him, so that makes him reluctant to do anything he doesn’t have to funds for. But we’ll see what happens. ---

[QUOTE=tdn] I’d be glad to chip in for your meal. If it’s someplace really cheap, like Bartley’s, I’ll just cover you. [/quote] And by next week, I may owe **tdn** a dinner. > [@](#): > > The reservation I have about that place is that it gets pretty busy, and doesn’t seem like somewhere where you can linger for a long time. The beauty of other 'fests is that we were never rushed. That was my concern in suggesting it, too. (And it might be hard to get a large group all seated together.) I was thinking we could miss the dinner rush, one way or the other, and even if we can’t linger at Bartley’s, Harvard Square offers excellent meandering opportunities. Sushi’s good, too. **lorene** , it wouldn’t be the same without you. ---

Maybe we can introduce you to an Icelandic alcoholic specialty if we can get our hands on some Brennivín. Give me a call or PM me when you’re back in town, and we’ll see if we can squeeze in a visit between my “chemo caretaker” vacations. ---

7PM sounds great. My family and some friends will also be coming. Do you think there will be room at Bartleby’s for everyone? We have around 10-15 people coming it sounds like. In any case, let’s still meet at 7PM in front of the restaraunt. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/boston-dopefest-now-before-autolycus-moves-away/449391.md?page=2)
