Any of those “thingies” sound, erm, “intriguing”. Yeah, that’s the word, “intriguing”. So are we all decided on noonish at California Pizza Kitchen in Pentagon City? Is that the consensus? Might be easier to get a table if we push to 11:30 to sorta beat the lunch rush but I could be wrong on that - I’ll phone tomorrow to see what we could do. What attendees are we looking at? Zappa/Knig (4) ScubaBen (1?) OpalCat (2?) nyctea scandiaca (1?) Patty O’Furniture (1?) Jurph (1?) Edward The Head (1?) Others? I don’t imagine we’d need a hard-and-fast headcount but it might help to call CPK and say “can you seat xxx people”? ---

1. I’ll be in that area that day, so count me in. 2. Someone else gets 100% of my attention, so count me out. 3. Looks like I won’t be saying Hi to **Opal** after all. ---

I just phoned the CPK and asked “if we were to show up about 11:30 with 8ish people would we likely have trouble getting a table?” and the person I spoke said that no, not usually on Saturdays. I was just picking an estimate of attendees out of thin air since we haven’t had too many firm commitments… So - are we on for tomorrow at 11:30? Updated potential attendees: Zappa/Knig (4) ScubaBen (1?) OpalCat (2?) nyctea scandiaca (1?) Patty O’Furniture (1?) Jurph (1?) Edward The Head (1?) psychobunny (1?) ---

I’m not going to be able to make it, but I spoke with OpalCat and she and her boyfriend are planning to be there. Thanks for organizing, Mama Zappa!!! ---
