I’ll be there. Probably earlier than usual, but I’m not sure exactly when. ---

I’ll be there a little after 8. Hopefully before the first set of questions is turned in. ---

A week later and a week…wiser? Let’s find out. Who’s in? We’re up for the usual time. ---

I’ll be there around 8ish to keep my theme of being late going. ---

I’ll be there. I’m going to a matinee of _The Corporation_ today, and then I have nothing else to do between that and trivia. So I hope to get there rather early to stake out some territory. This will, I assume, be an inside-the-barroom trivia night. No? ---

Hey, **Saltire** : isn’t the earliest showing of _The Corporation_ today at 4:50? If it were playing earlier, I’d go. Regardless, I should be there tonight, but I’m not sure yet what time. I just found out I’ll be working tomorrow through the end of the week, which is on the one hand good, and on the other hand means I’ve got no free time all of a sudden. Dilemmas. I’ll probably show by 6:30, maybe as late as 7:30. ---

I’ll take a rain (ahem) check this week. ---

I’m waffling about tonight. Lots of other stuff going on. We’ll see later in the afternoon. ---

Correct. I looked at a website that assumed the Harvard Exit had the same times all week, and told me they had a 1:45 showing (which they actually only have on Sat., Sun, and Mon.). So I don’t get to see it today. Bummer. I’ll still be at the George-n-Lizard early, though. ---

I’m not going to make it tonight. You have my permission to win while I’m not there. No, no, I insist. ---

Nor will I be there, unfortunately. **Lady Cheek** , however, _will_ be there with her team, if anyone wants to show up and give them what-for. ---

Lord. We didn’t lose _that_ badly last week, people. I’ve got to talk shop with one of the opposition team players, so I’ll be there at least before the contest. If no other Dopers are showing up, though, I may not stay to play. ---

It was a pleasure to meet **lissener** , who should definitely return. “One of us! One of us!” Alas, we were beaten by 9 points, made slightly more frustrating by 6 or so questions for which we chose poorly. Meaning we discussed the right answer but chose an incorrect one. Although we’d have lost even if we’d chosen correctly on all of those, so what can you do? Pout, I guess. ---
