what day of the week is the 15th? I work (a lot), Saturday/Sunday are about the only time I get out. That is, if another MI doper is allowed. I don’t hang out in this forum much, so never saw this. (I"m in Lansing ish) ---

Me clicking your icon, fun as it may be for us both, wouldn’t do anything since I don’t have any AIMness. Can you look up **rikc** and click his little icon? ---

I’m here! Thanks for the heads up, I’m really looking forward to hanging out with you guys again. March 15th is free, as far as I know, and also preferred. Weekdays are mostly a no-go with school (I say this, but I would totally be an irresponsible student to hang out with ya’ll) (also, pretty much all of you should add me to AIM - just sayin’!) ---

Hulloooo everyone. Cmyk, thanks for the pm. I’ve got this shindig pencilled in, but I’m a maybe at best. I’m giving a vocal masterclass that day and I think it will run late enough to make dopeing a longshot. Have fun if I don’t make it. Conor O’neil’s is completely overrun with drunken coeds and frat boys on weekend nights (and they’ll be back from spring break), so it should be fun…although if you get there at 7:00 you might still be eligible for the senior citizen early bird special! 😛 ---

HA! I added all you zombies to my iChat… so… umm… yeh, cool. Seems like we’re finally getting the band back together. Try and make it Figaro, even if it’s late. The only one that bites is LOUNE. And it’s more of a ‘gumming’, if anything. ---

“Gumming” is one of the most terrifying verbs I can think of. ---

Howzabout some of you, named **rikc** , just allow PMs and emails in your profile, rather than subjecting the rest of us, named **me** , to the AIMness? 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/detroit-ann-arbor-a-dopefest-draws-nigh/438829.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/detroit-ann-arbor-a-dopefest-draws-nigh/438829.md?page=4)
