I’ll plan on making it. But since I’m old, staying up till 2am may be a real chore. I have to keep moving to avoid falling asleep. Of course, since you’ll probably fall asleep, it’d be kind of like we were sleeping together. And that’s a GOOD thing! ---

Hey! Just because I couldn’t make it through _Dr. Strangelove_ doesn’t mean I’m going to fall asleep again. ---

Melissa and I are both planning on attending. We will have to have the baby with us though, so the plans may change. Older kids are going to be with grandma. Believe it or not the baby sleeps through movies. One of the nice a side effects of growing up with older siblings who are loud pretty much constantly. If there is background noise, even a good bit of it, when she goes to sleep, she’ll sleep through it all. Especially if Melissa nurses her. Enjoy, Steven ---

I’m going to pass on this - I have some new medicine that’s making me a little iffy to begin with, and staying that late just won’t work. ---

Oh, I should note that it is Saturday night the kids will be at Grandma’s. So that’s the night that works for us. Friday doesn’t work because we’ve got girl scouts early Saturday morning. Enjoy, Steven ---

I have no problem with Friday or Saturday night. I think Mike said he had plans for Saturday and wouldn’t be able to make it. I don’t think we’ll be able to pick a day when everyone will be able to attend. So on that, let’s decide after we see what day is best for everyone. ---

So, do we have an early head count yet? I am really looking forward to this! I was also wondering if we are going to do dinner before. Melissa ---

Maybe… just maybe I can get my girlfriend to go on Saturday night after she gets home from work. Yeah… and maybe I’m a [Chinese jet pilot](http://www.freecfm.com/p/psiekier/AOD_chinese_jet_pilot.wav). ---

I’m confused Pete. Does this mean you can’t come? Does this mean you’d be coming solo? Does this mean Friday works better for you? Spill it! Enjoy, Steven ---

Melissa and I are looking at options to allow us to go Friday night. It’s going to kick our butts, but this is PETE! You can’t have a DFW dopefest go see Army of Darkness without Pete! The whole reason Army of Darkness is significant to DFW dopers is Pete! Well, and the skeleton who blows his load, but he’ll be there both nights. It looks like it might work better for **Aglarond** as well, although he hasn’t weighed in on if he would go at all no matter what night we go. An overnight babysitter on a day’s notice. Cross your fingers. 🙂 Enjoy, Steven [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dfw-dopers-army-of-darkness-inwood-4-25-26/169968.md?page=2)
