Ag already said Friday worked best for him. I say we shoot for Friday night since you’re right about the **Pete**. Pete is the answer to all questions. What should a man and woman not do together? _ **Pete** _ ---

Well, unless Pete was willing to make the supreme sacrifice and go on BOTH nights(one with **Kelliebeans** and one with the rest of the group. But I don’t think we could ask Pete to go see Army of Darkness TWICE. 😉 Plus that would still leave **Ag** out. We’re still working on that babysitter. Enjoy, Steven ---

The answer are not doing anything of [Smurfs or Smurfing!](http://members.aol.com/psiekier5/allyoursmurf.swf) **Kelliebeans** and I definitely want to go Friday. I think, at the very least, **Aglarond** and **Grace** should come with us. Steven, I understand the difficulty of finding the babysitter, but will you not face a similar problem Saturday night? ---

Saturday would be better for me but I might be able to do Friday. I’ll have to check with Mrs. Chef to see if she minds. ---

Saturday works for us because **Mtgman’s** mom is keeping the kids for the night. She does this once a month, and we are really grateful for it. **Mtgman** is still trying to find a sitter for Friday though. However, one of the kids may be sick so I just might end up being the sitter. ☹ 😉 Melissa ---

Will wonders never cease? Kellie’s boss just changed her work schedule making it _impossible_ for her to attend Friday night. I hereby change our vote to Saturday. I can still go tonight, but without Kellie it’s going to be half as fun… ---

I think Saturday night will work better for lots of folks. I know **minty green** is out of town in Mexico, returning today or tonight. He, and his wife if she’s interested, may not be up to a midnight movie after the trip back to Dallas from Mexico. Still leaves **Aglarond** in the lurch though ☹ Enjoy, Steven ---

I can’t come tonight. I was at the Stars game last night and didn’t get home until around 1:30. Goliath, having slept since about 4:00PM was wide awake. I didn’t get to sleep until 3:00. I doubt that I can last until 2:00 AM. Saturday is iffy, I have plans to go have some beers with my friend who came to _Dr. Strangelove_, I’ll see if he is interested. ---

Sat-ur-DAY! Sat-ur-DAY! Sat-ur-DAY! Sat-ur-DAY! 'Cause I can’t come tonight. I didn’t get today’s comic strip finished last night because it just wasn’t working, so I need to do that tonight. ---

Heh. Just got a call from my sister, she said she would be available if we needed her tonight. I told her it was looking like we’d be going on Saturday instead and she’s like “oh. Ok, see you Saturday then.” Life is so weird. Enjoy, Steven ---

So, is it tonight or tomorrow? I’m in either way, but I’d hate to be the only one who doesn’t know what the heck is going on. If votes are still being sought, put me down for Saturday. And I was checking my E-MAIL, not the BOARD. 😛 ---

Grace started this thread, so I say we make her decide. ---

Typically **Grace** or **Zyada** or one of our primary dopefest planners puts their foot down and says “This day.” after a deliberation such as we’ve seen occurs. As of now Saturday seems ahead to me, but I defer to one of our socialites for the final word. **BBJ** , it looks like we’re planning a dinner before the movie. Typically reservations are made in the name of Adams. Show up and say you’re with the Adams family and they’ll show you to the table. If you don’t come to dinner then you could look at a photo of a fair number of the DFW dopers at the [Arborwood forums](http://www.arborwood.com/awforums/show-toparea-1.php?fid=616&taid=1). If you just meet us at the lounge for drinks, look for some of these faces. We may well be standing in the aisles because tables are hard to come by in that place. **minty** probably a good thing you weren’t checking the boards. We’ve had no less than two gun debates and a rant on the 17th ammendment, two of which were started by that paragon of intelligence **Razorsharp**. I don’t think you would have found your time away very restful if you had been reading GD this week. Enjoy, Steven ---

Oh, and I suggested in one of those threads that **ExTank** should check out this thread and consider joining us for the movie. I even hinted that you might buy him a drink at the lounge. 😃 Enjoy, Steven ---

Heh, once we finish dinner or get kicked out of the resturant? Most resturants in the area close around 10 or 11 IIRC(although **minty** , as a resident of the area, could give a better report) so we’ll be at the lounge probably between 10:30 and 11:30. Last time we got there ~ 10:45 IIRC and hung out until the movie was due to start. Next question is where are we going to eat?!? Enjoy, Steven ---

Our reservation at Cafe Italia last time was for 9:45, and while we were pretty much the last ones in the place by the time we left around 11:00, they didn’t seem to mind. Celebration lists its closing time as 10:30, and I’m certainly not opposed to 90 minutes of refreshing beverages at the Lounge before the movie. Once again, I say we make Grace decide. **mrs. green** ’s participation will be a game time decision. She’s feeling a wee bit pregnant these days. ---

Congratulations to the **green** family from the **man’s**! **Moxmaiden** and I are celebrating as well, our anniversary(seven years), so a nice dinner at a nice place would be just ducky with us. Enjoy, Steven ---

Congratulations to the Green’s. With all the babies coming to the DFW dopers late, this baby-making thing must be pretty fun. 🙂 Okay, here’s the deal for Army of Darkness. Midnight Movie, Inwood Theater **Saturday, April 26th** We’ll meet at Celebration on Lover’s Lane. I will call and make a reservation for 9:30 if I can get a count. (For those of you who haven’t met me, 9:30 means I’ll get there around 9:45.) After dinner, we’ll move over to the Lounge for drinks. I’m guessing we’ll get there around 11 p.m. That’s around the time the busboys at Celebration were giving us the dirty looks last time. I hope everyone doesn’t mind eating at Celebration. They seem to have a little more room for a group our size.
