I’m curious about the time to, we’ll be at a nearby hotel, The Country Inn and Suites, so I am wondering what time we should come by.
Jayjay, myself and little brother should be there around noon. At least that is our plan.
As MsRobyn mentioned above, she will probably be getting there early, as will danceswithcats and I - I’m guessing around 9:00-ish.
What, so three people have to eat with their fingers? Are you sure there will be enough napkins?

Did I miss anyone? Looks like 42, from this count.
Did I forget to update anything? Chime in now!
Sounds like we still need cups, and condiments for the burgers and dogs. Anything else?
I have some books and CDs that I’d be glad to be rid of - we are still doing a book exchange, right?
I also have some firehouse coloring books and bubbles for the kids - BYOCrayons, though.
Somewhere I mentioned I would bring some Diet Soda & Water, I’ll grab Cups too. That is in addition to desert items.
Did I miss a post about which pavilion we have this year?
jayjay, back on page one:
Yes, if we have 75 people there, three of them will have to use their fingers.
This is a poll: what time is everyone planning to get there?
danceswithcats, BiblioCat, MsRobyn said they were planning to get there at 9 am, :eek: which seems wayyyy early to me (I rarely wake up before 11 am)! The last one I went to, I recall showing up sometime in the afternoon. I’m thinking like 1 or 2 pm. Will I be showing up too late? When is everyone else planning to arrive?
eta: I see that supervenusfreak and Jayjay are planning to arrive around noon.
9 is too early for me too. I will probably get there between 10 and 11.
Since I have to get avocados and tomatoes for dip, I’ll pick up an extra box of silverware.

:smack:
Okay. Firemen’s is the BIG one, IIRC, right beside the park office.
It’s now MsRobyn +~3. Airman’s not coming. His boss signed him up for something.

I’ll be there at noonish, bringing nobody.
I took the liberty of starting a thread to alert people who may have not seen this thread, or who may have no idea what GettysDope is… Attention VA, MD, DC, and PA Dopers! Gettysdope this Saturday!
Since mudgirl has bowling league Saturday morning, we won’t be getting there until around 2PM. However, EtherealFreakOfPinkness, HerRoyalIMFness and their (yet unregistered) friend will probably be arriving around 11:30 or noon, since they are riding together, not with us.
Hate to drop out at the last minute, but I just can’t make it.
Susan
I think I’m going to have to back out, too. Too much going on around here. Maybe next year!
Well, darn and darn! Keep your eyes on this thread, though, for a wrap-up, where we will post next year’s date if we decide it this Saturday!
