> \*\*Duuuuude! Who needs to know which way is left when you drive using the force anyway? Also, I do not consider Sunday evening as being the weekend. I learned early on, from my mommy, that Sunday night is a “week-night”, so there! I blame that particular situation on the idiots who decided to have the superbowl (whatever that is) on a Sunday, though. Not on you kind people.

> Anyway, my bad and all on that one. I wish we could’ve made it. We could’ve discussed DW and poured lime Jello in Sue’s hot tub (just kiddin’ Sue!!!). 😉 Oh well, I’ll catch you all again one of these days. \*\*

Excuses excuses!!! Hey, I had school the very next day (well at 4 pm, but even if it was at 10 i still would have gone). :). Plus, a lot of people left by about 7 or so. You missed out dude. Another missed opportunity, you loser :).  
Oh and about the fest being talked about: Weekday Evenings except friday, and _possibly_ thursday are just bad all around for me. I have class, so it’s never a good time for such a short notice trip. Plus, i refuse to drive in SF (Call it a kind of phobia…dont ask me to explain it, that’s why I liken it to a phobia). The last one we had in SF i took the BART in from Fremont.

But, oldie really made it real easy for me to feel guilty about turning this opportunity down (even though it didnt pan out).
