YES. It’ time for another one… THIS WEEKEND. (Jan 5/6)
It was all a blur last time; candy volvos, big-ass burgers, Guinness, wonderfully horrible De Niro impressions; blind spongebob drawings; and lots o laughs.
**So when and where and what time folks?!**
So far, the suggestions have been the 5th or 6th, and feather bowling…

I’m both a member and a lurker!
The 7th works fine for me also. Like I mentioned earlier, I’ll be back after consulting rikc De Niro.

We’re seriously considering feather bowling as an option? :dubious:

not necessarily.
I wouldn’t mind another get together at the Queen’s place to be honest! 😃

Hmm, that’s a possibility, and likely to be cheaper than most other options as well. I’ll check with Mr.Man and get back to you on that.
I would like **CW** to be able to see A2, though. Since none of the Arborites have planned anything I was thinking maybe something like the [[http://michtheater.org/](http://michtheater.org/)](Michigan Theater) and dinner somewhere? Bit cold to walk in the Arb or just mosey downtown aimlessly, but I’m open to suggestion.

Uhhh. I was so planning on doing this but I just went home from work early because I feel like craaaap and have to go to the doctor tomorrow. We were going to see “The Body” exhibit in Detroit, too. :mad: I just spend all of Christmas Break sick and I think it might be back with a vengeance.
I personally would have preferred the 6th. Maybe by some miracle I’d be better by then. My keyboard is not cooperating with me, it is really bizarre. If I can’t make it I hope you have fun! Also I hope you have fun even if I do make it.

My girlfriend is working on Saturday, so I’ll be looking to cause trouble (not that I do it any other time, of course) so let me know.

I have been informed that I am an idiot.
(Act like this is startling news, people!)
Actually, he quite nicely reminded me of a niece’s surprise 18th tomorrow evening, so we’re sorta out. We’ll likely be out of there by 7-8, so someone PM me a phone number in case y’all wind up somewhere cool within driving distance, por favor.
Feel better, **olives**! May I remind you that my first dopefest a few months back was when I seriously had the plague of doom, yet no one caught it, ergo dopefests are immune to bugs. 🙂

Nice planning, **Tonya**. Wave your scepter and order your neice beheaded. It’s really the only option.

Yeah, I am not going to be able to make it. I just talked on the phone with my doc, and she told me she was weighing the pros and cons of either sending me to the emergency room or bringing me in today for an ultrasound (this illness is a serious complication from a previous medical procedure.) Thankfully, she decided to just have me come into the office. Right now I feel like my whole body has been lit on fire.
I’ll be writhing in pain in the next room if you need me. ☹

Monday is harsh. I wouldn’t get out of work until 7. Not only that, but if the girl comes, she gets out closer to/at about 10.
It sounds like another weekend for me.
