I’d be up for Gettysburg! That isn’t too bad of a drive for me. And Saturdays work best for me too. ---

Sundays would be better than Saturdays for us, because **supervenusfreak** works Saturdays. Given sufficient lead time, he could probably get a Saturday off, though. As long as we know more than two weeks in advance. ---

June 26th is my birthday, but the only plans I’ve got involve **DaveW00** ’s Ribfest, but I can always back out of that. (Sorry, Dave.) Any weekend is good. Robin ---

Let’s not make people pick between doper events. Okay – does anyone have a problem with Saturday, June 19th? ---

It’s not an issue with choosing so much as it is that I’d rather do a more local Dopefest. [sub]Not to mention the unpaid speeding ticket I got in NY state after Dopereal last summer[/sub] Either one is good, though. Robin ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Okay – does anyone have a problem with Saturday, June 19th? I prefer the 12th over the 19th, and I’m good for either one of those dates. ---

I have to say that either date (12th or 19th) in June is fine if it must be on a Saturday. (And I can understand why it must be.) Even if **supervenusfreak** can’t get off work, I can still come down. ---

Even if **supervenusfreak** can’t get off work, I can still come down. Possibly with **supervenusfreak’s** personal homemade potato or macaroni salad, at that… ---

Any attendance by me is contingent upon whatever job I end up getting after graduation (assuming I get one, knock on wood), so I have no way of knowing until later. You guys plan, and if I can come, I will. ---

I can probably come if it’s on the 19th and not the 12th. ---

I can make it on the 19th, but not the 12th. So I hope we decide on the 19th! ---

No, the 12th is off the table – this is a roll call for the 19th. **dances, nyctea, ultra** – what say you? ---
