Well, this sounds like fun! If you don’t mind that I bring Evil Captor… (yes, I know, most people are surprised that I married him while conscious). But, yes, the 23rd is between the anniversary and DragonCon and would be fine for us. Are we invited? ---

Sorry for not posting sooner, but electrical storm from last Thursday knocked out my cable and intarweb and I was out of office yesterday for vacation (yardwork, wheee). I am about 80% sure I can make it, varying based on MissLlama’s Uncertainty Principle. I will surely be attending by my lonesome and am game for either D&B location (or wherever though I really loathe driving in the city proper). ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Quasimodem \* > **That’s helpful, carrot, thanks.** Hee hee. No problem. The difficulty is that my father-in-law’s birthday is that weekend. However, my in-laws may be planning a trip somewhere, and would, in that case, be celebrating the next weekend. They haven’t got all the details ironed out, but I believe they have actually been planning…Which is why I say probably. I should find out a bit more this week about their plans, at which time I will be in a better position to judge my own availability. Better? 😉 ---

Okay, let’s do it **this** way: Since I’m not really good at playing the mother hen, why don’t we just leave it that **Quasi** and date will be at **Dave and Buster’s** (I-75 and Delk Road) on Saturday August 23rd at 7 pm. Those of you who can make it, you’ll know me by the “Quasimodem” airbrushed t-shirt, and we’ll just play the rest of it by ear. Diane and I will be staying at a nearby hotel, so we’ll be in no hurry if y’all want the party to last a little longer. I had hoped to have a little more help in organizing this, but I understand that people get busy and the best intentions don’t always make it, so no hard feelings and I hope to see y’all that night, okay? 😃 Q ---

**Morelin** and I will try to make it, but given my general idiocy in getting myself sick before KnoxDope, I don’t want to make any promises. ---

Well, since you were SOOOO sarcastic about it (;)), I called my father-in-law\*, and they are off to relax for his birthday\*\*.

D&B thing sounds good to me. Provided my next contract isn’t out of town I’d like to show up and meet a few of you folks. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by mouthbreather \* > \*\*Q, > > Is there a reason you chose the Marietta D&B over the Duluth one? \*\* **mouthbreather** , I had originally thought that your offer of a get-together at your place would make Duluth the ideal location, bu then when I didn’t hear back, and the only other two people interested in Duluth were “maybes”, I chose the I-75 location because it’s closer. We can **still** meet in Duluth. It makes no difference to me. I would just like to get a concensus. Q ---

well, our offer still stands with the caveat that we have 2 dogs…as long as people are ok with that, they are welcome. But, it’s not a dealbreaker either way…just let us know what you decide. ---

Okay. Those for meeting at Duluth, please check in. Those for meeting at the other location, check in. That’s the only other way I know to do this fairly. Other than y’all just telling **me** where to show up, I mean! 😃 Q Quasi: Duluth ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by GMRyujin \* > \*\*We dun care, either is fine. I’ll get lost either way. \*\* Dood: I really hope y’all make it. I will send you my cell-phone number in an e-mail in case you get lost, and you have a standing invitation to come to my place and teach me some bass licks if we can’t get together for a jam in August. I can’t invite **everyone** here, because this really is a small apartment, and it wouldn’t be fair to crowd y’all in here. Plus there’s my old bat neighbor to consider. I had really looked forward to meeting all you pickers and players, but maybe we can set up the _Three Days Of Love and Music_ for another time, and just get to know each other the night of the 23rd, wherever it is.
