Hi **Opal**! I haven’t played Egyptian Rat Screw in _years_! If it’s the same game that I remember, you’ve just found yourself a cards partner. ---

We’ll be arriving around 5-ish, if that is OK. Can we still park in the little lot across from your house, or will that be full by then, do you think? Can’t wait until tomorrow!!! ---

Faeces. Once again events have conspired against us, and we will not be there. I swear, next year, I’m not even opening this (or it’s successor) thread, and I’ll just show the hell up if I can make it. At least this time the events are happy-based: Packing & preps to move into our new house. ---

**JC** , thanks for the warning. Should I keep my bo stave handy when playing ERS with Opal? Or a mouthguard and shin pads? ---

T-3 to 4 hours until the SoVa contingent leaves for the tameds (as opposed to wilds) of the DC area. Depending on when **fizzy** gets off work and such things. I’ll be happy if we’re there by midnight. ---

Well, we will be there for sure, but due to a costume SNAFU, we will be dressed as ordinary schlubs (this is no costume idea; we really _are_ ordinary schlubs). See, my costume depended on hubby’s, in order to work, and his depended on a particular prop that I didn’t find out we wouldn’t be able to get until just today. So, we will be there, but not costumed. ---

Wasn’t there a threat last year that folks without costumes would be given costumes at the door? ---
