This upcomming weekend looks like it may be a little busy for me (my friend Harriss and I are FINALLY getting our shit together and are going to begin filming on our sketch comedy show [Please GOD let us start!!!]), so if we could push it back to the 14th, that would be peachy. Hula Hutt still sounds great to me. I have enough gastro intestinal problems as it is, y’all don’t need to be sitting at a restaurant with me that has the word “Beans” in the title. Just some fair warning. ---

The 14th would be good for me, too. ---

So then, Batdopers, is it the 14th at the Hula Hut? ---

Well, ya know, **Bea** …, I mean **Ringo** , since **Lightning** hasn’t showed his face here in a week, and it was _his_ idea, we out-of-towners could organise the whole thing. I’m good for the 14th at Hula Hut. If **Zyada** is coming, **Grace** is thinking about it, and we should be able to coax **Purrplebear** up from San Antonio, maybe we should have the _locals_ ask _us_ when the **BatFest** is going to be.

14th, Hula Hut, works for me too. Now, how’s about a time? Do we want this to be lunch, or dinner, or what? I’m cool with a 1:00 afternoon type of deal myself, but that’s because I may have filming in the evening, but it could also be tough on the out-of-towners. So, are we having dinner or lunch? ---

If someone can email me some direction I can make the 14th! ---

I could do 2:00 easily, if the **Lord Jim** and **Zyada** can (they’ve got a little further than I to drive). Can a resident BatDoper provide us with the location of the Hula Hut? And c’mon up, **CRorex**! Lookin’ forward to seein’ **Fionn** , **Sapphy** , **Elvis** , **Genseric** , **hazel-rah** , **Lightnin’** and whomever else we can dig up this time. ---

**Ringo** , 2:00 sounds good to me. Just talked with **Purrplebear** , she said she thought she could make it. I’ll try to check with **Zyada** and **Grace** tonight and see if they are going to make it. It’ll be good seeing **Sapphy** and the rest of the Austin group and **Genseric** again, plus meet some new people, too. ---

I’ll do my best. As far as I know I don’t have any plans. Put me down as a definite maybe. ---

Le sigh. Sadly, I will be on call the 14th, so going out of town can’t happen. However, it sounds like the 14th is better for everyone else, so have fun! On-call is going to seriously interfere with traveling to dopefests. Le sigh. ---

Well OK, then, **Z-babe** - you know how that works; we’ll have to talk about you in your absence. 😉 Austin? [sub]::radio noise::[/sub] Come in, Austin! This is Dope Station Houston calling BatDope Central. We have **Elvis** in the building! Anybody else on station? ---

Aturday? Hmm… Is that a new day of the week no one told me about? 😉 I finally got caught up on some stuff happening here at Casa Bear, and the 14th looks great for me. So, who’s going to post destruct… I mean di_rec_tions to this mythical **Hula Hut**? I am so looking forward to seeing all of you again, and meeting some newbies, like **CRorex** and **Fionn**. Well, newbie as in someone I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet, that is. Oh, **Jim** , dear? Don’t tell **Mr Bear** , but I’d be happy to sit on your lap anytime you like. _sassy grin_ Or **Elvis’** or **Lightnin’** or **Rin…** … I’d better shut up now, before I really get in trouble. :eek: Alright, alright. Just steal my funny pun, **beatle** … oops. **Ringo** dear. 😛 Good thing I hit preview one more time. ---
