Yeah. Earlier is better for me. I was going to come straight from work (my class is over at 5). ---

God damn it! I’m outta town the weekend of the 15th. No way to move it back a week, is there? ---

O.K. then! Who else for moving it foreward? Gotta get a consensus. ---

Or do you mean this coming Friday? Kinda short notice. Still, if we can get a mini-thing going maybe we can fit into Sweet Mama’s. ---

Consider me (tentatively) on board for any date you pick. (But I’d love it if you’d choose a day that Ike could make.) ~ Stuyguy ---

Yeah, I’ll be in town this weekend, too, so if it’s moved up, I can probably make it. ---

BACK. He (meaning ME, **Ukulele Ike,** who is terrifically flattered by the attention he garnered) said BACK a week. THIS weekend I’ll be in DENVER. Geez. ---

I’m very confused. As far as I can tell Uke will be out of town both on the 8th and the 15th. However, I’ve had a few people who said moving it up (or down, this is the part that’s confusing me) a week would be good. Can someone please mention a _date_ with a number in it so’s I can get it together? Sax is available the day after tomorrow (9/8). Show of hands here. Whose for the 8th? (I’d personally love to have both Sax and Uke). I haven’t made reservations yet and can easily change plans. I hope everyone is checking this thread! ---

I can’t do the eighth, but the weekend after that (and any conceivable weekends after that) I’m all in. Yeah yeah, NJ Transit in da HoUSE! ---

Well, I’d love to have you, too. I’m in Denver on the 8th, and in Cleveland on the 15th. On the 23rd and the 24th and pretty much thereafter, I hope to be in Brooklyn. Howzatsound? ---

All right folks, this is what I’m gonna do. I’m still reserving a table for the 15th because I don’t have the time, energy or inclination to e-mail everyone who said they were coming to Brooklyn on that day. So if you are coming still come. Since I, myself, would love to hang out with Uke and Sax _and_ I’m partial to dark, smokey bars I’m open to any type of drinking on any other day except the 23rd. BTW, this was harder than it looked, folks! ---

The 15th? Dang thats a Friday and I work until 9 in South/Central NJ no way can I make it in. I’m normally free on weekends, but this weekend I’m going up to Boston, and the weekend of the 22nd I’ll be in Florida ---

Weird thing is, She and I are going to IanTheTerrible’s wedding this weekend, because the Moof… Dammit, it’s too complicated, but at least I don’t have to drive to the wedding myself. Ugh. And yes, we are waiting with baited breath for your return to Gotham. ---

I will be in Connecticut, at work, shaking my fist at the sky, and cursing the Dopers who are having fun whilst I earn my paycheck. Dante could’ve made a career out of my life. No, seriously, I love you all.
