As far as I know, we’re in. I’ve been suffering a cold as of late, and am not yet completely up to par. But at the same time, I wanna come, so I’ll put my foot down and whine to beat all get out. ---

I’ll be there. We’ll be sitting inside, right? ---

I may or may not be there. Having a crappy day and I may need to go home and drink heavily. I know, I could drink heavily at the George and Dragon, but then we’d have to name the team “Voltron with Loud Drunk Vomiting Guy Attachment.” We’ll see how the rest of the day goes. ---

I will not be attending tonight, as my lovely wife has requested my assistance with Thanksgiving preparations. Looking forward to next week. ---

I’m in the “probably not” camp tonight, for similar reasons. Still up in the air. ---

> [@cherry](#): > > I’m from Toronto. It will be great meeting everyone, maybe we can have a dopefest next year some time. Oh! …Toronto. (I kid! I kid!) Honestly, I’m looking forward to meeting more Canajuns in the area. If only to intimidate the riffraff who consider themselves wags of the highest order when making fun of The Great White North. We’re in the “definitely not” camp this week as we’ll be hanging out at SeaTac, waiting for a 01:00 plane. ---

I’ll be absent tonight too. Happy Thanksgiving, Seattle triviadopers one and all. ---

Ditto. Lots of housework to get done before the holiday visitations begin. That would be _people_ visitations, not ghostly misers dragging chains and shit. ---

I’ve heard the ghost of Christmas-yet-to-come is a total stickler about the white glove test; and it can check the tops of book cases. I’ll try and make next week…there’s about a 50/50 chance. ---

Well, that’ll teach me not to post in the morning. I would’ve gone, but I’m assuming by now that people aren’t showing up. And I’m still up for it if people are there and somehow reading this. Next week, definitely. ---

> [@Interrobang!?](#): > > Well, that’ll teach me not to post in the morning. To not post, that is. Also, it’s bad enough when the ghostly misers just drag chains, but have you tried getting ghost-miser shit out of the carpet? It’s like cat barf, but stinky and ectoplasmic. ---

Earlier bump for those of us who can’t get at the thread during the day _coughInterrobang!?cough_ We’re in tomorrow. Anyone else? FYI as well - **Das Glasperlenspiel** will be coming out for Xmas, and was hoping that enough people’ll show for a trivia night while she’s here - 21st-30th. ---

I’ll be there, but late – probably 7:30 or so. That’s a nasty cough you’ve got there, **Aguecheek**. ---

Hey, wait a minute, I already posted here today! vbulletin, rassafrassin’, etc… Will miss 12/7, probably make 12/21, up in the air for 12/14. Happy triviating one and all. ---

We’ll be there a bit later than usual - probably about 7:30-7:45. ---

I’m running payroll again tonight, so if I show up, it’ll be fairly late, close to 8pm and possibly in the middle of the first round. If I don’t show, it’s because payroll ran longer than expected. Grumble grumble.
