I haven’t heard yet from TeletronOne, Olentzero, Tranquilus and Intaglio, Cleophus, moi and that_darn_cat, dances_with_cats, Jadis, panache, Anna_Lucretia, etc etc… I know I am forgetting people, so come on! Get it together!
Well, we just finished our Thanksgiving turkey which we brined, and it was fantastic, flavorful and juicy. We will be brining a turkey for this shindig too, so bring your appetites.
Next weekend, huh? Let me throw in a provisional “yes” on that one. Anyone got any space in their car for an evil Bolshevik out of downtown DC?
You won’t like it, I’ll warn you now. There will not be potatoes and vodka.
Okay, I admit. I lied. There will be potatoes and vodka. For everyone.
I’m posting by myself in here, again. I’m such a weenie.
Does anyone want to do a gift exchange? IE: You bring something, wrapped, and you get something. I have not mentioned it to anyone I’ve invited from off the boards.
Yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Where the hell is Baltimore?
Well, I don’t know 
- does this mean you’re going to show up? It’d be nice to meet you.
Who needs directions?
I need directions. I’ve got a rough idea of where Baltimore is, but my understanding is that it’s a decent-sized city.
Still in play. Lady Chance may need to work so it may just be two of us.
And I’d love a chance to contrast and compare libertarianism with Olentzero’s true-believer socialism. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that we share a great many beliefs.
Yes, I could probably make it. (shoulda used a sarcastic smilie)
I’m in the 'burbs, two minutes from the Beltway. I can find you if I have directions.
Can I bring something?
The magic 8-ball has indicated Yes.
What should I do from where 795 hits the beltway? Or 83-I can use either.
I’ll be there, but probably without the missus.
I, too, will need directions.
I’m interested in a Yankee Gift Exchange, where we get to steal presents from each other. But regular gift exchanges are boooooring.
Attending… check.
Gift exchange… check.
Need Directions… check, even though I’ve been there. I fergotted how to find it.
Okay, firstly I need to set a limit for the gift exchange, we’ll say $10. Our family likely won’t be participating as things are a bit tight just now.
We will provide a turkey dinner and various liquors (we keep them around for you people, you know), pop and munchies. If you have any food allergies or there’s anything I should know about (ie the blood-drinking thing) before you attend, please tell me ASAP.
I will be sending out an email with directions soon. If your email is not linked through the boards, you won’t get it. Email me if your email address isn’t available here.
As well, I noticed someone asking if they could bring anything. Please feel free to bring large amounts of cash. Or, you know, whatever else. Beer, pop, munchies, whatever.
Any other of the ‘pre-literate’ set going to be there?
Besides Dave, I mean.
Don’t think so. Matthew and Dominic will be here, though.
Well, since I’m already bringing TruePisces and Verrain let me see if I can’t haul Cleophus along as well…
I’ll also see if TP and I can get our hands on a case of Guiness
