Here’s the plan: I’ll grill hamburgers, Boca burgers, and hotdogs, and have enough beer, soft drinks, and chips on hand to get us started, and if my fellow lunatics can bring side dishes and add to the beer/chips/etc. supply, we oughta be in business.
We’ll start in the mid-afternoon and keep it rolling as late as we can last. We’ll also have Frisbees and other distractions; feel free to bring other entertaining stuff from your toy bins.
So, any preferences between Saturday and Sunday? I figure Monday’s out because we’ve got to drag our tired bodies back to work the next morning.
For my favorite fellow Firesign fanatic (how do you like all that alliteration?), I’ll definitely think about it. After all, I don’t have a long drive home afterwards!
But let me talk to my wife, and also see what works for other people. On Fathom, some of the NC contingent have expressed an interest, and that may be a factor too.
I’ll check my social calendar (I’ll ask Mrs. Spritle) and let you know what that weekend looks like. Her aunt usually does a picnic, and sometimes my mum does, but I’ll see if we can blow them off.
Due to the brilliance of the U.S. Embassy in Stockholm, Anniz and I will not be getting married Labor Day weekend. If we’re lucky, she’ll be flying over to the U.S. that Saturday, in fact.
So, if she’s here, and not too jet-lagged from the trip, we’ll consider showing up. But, don’t count on it.
If she’s not here by then, I’ll be able to come alone, but probably will be too depressed to do so.
I’m am definatly considering, but I cannot commit right now. Mark me off as a maybe. If I go, I’ll probably be taking iampunha’s offer of a ride, since I’m not too far from Fairfax.
ramesh, I’d love to meet you - hope you can make it!
Sterling, I’ve enjoyed your posts here and at Fathom for quite some time. C’mon and join the party!
Montfort - needless to say, I hope for your sake that Anniz gets here as soon as possible. Hope you can make it, preferably with her, but if you’re still without her, there will be beer to drown your sorrows in.
I’ll be in Atlanta tomorrow thru Thursday; I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get to a computer with Internet access, but if I can, I’ll check in on this thread. If not, I’ll bump it Thursday night.
She bought her ticket the other day, so she’ll be here on 1 September. As we’ll be busy that night, we may or may not emerge from hiding to come to your Dopefest.
But, if we do, we’ll have big smiles on our faces.
