We’re in. I’ve gotta go home first and do some futzing about, so we should be there 7-7:30. **E. Thorp** has decided that he has the plague and will not be making it. It’s gotta be serious, 'cause he missed work today, too… ---

So how’d it go? (My play opens this Friday, a week earlier than I expected it to. Hence my availability will improve thereafter.) ---

The winning team (Elvis again) had 28 points, and there was a 3-way tie for second that we were not involved in. So 5th place at best. Not terrible with 4 players, but there was feeling of Joementum in the air. There were a few answers that we bobbled – could’ve had the right answer but didn’t – but we wouldn’t have matched or beaten 28 points with them. ---

Bada-BUMP! Who’s up for tonight? I’m thinking we probably will be, but are still negotiating on what time we’ll be there. Anyone else? Hello? ---

Will the usual suspects include **Cervaise** this week? Will there be unusual suspects? I’ll be there at the usual time or so – 7 or 7:15. ---

> [@Interrobang!?](#): > > Will the usual suspects include **Cervaise** this week? Mmmmmmmmmmaybe. My play has opened (here’s the PI’s [review](http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/theater/159949_darkq.html)), so I’ve got some weeknights free again, but I’m thinking it might be a good idea to spend some time with the wife I haven’t seen in a month. 🙂 I’ll know more later this afternoon. ---

I actually have the day off, so I shall once again venture forth into the wilds of Geroge and the Dragon early to reserve a table. ---

Wife maintenance is an important thing. More power to you if you’re not coming, Cervaise. We’ll soldier on without you. (And congrats on the review – I noticed that this morning.) Looks like the Usual Gang of Idiots. (Team name!) ---

I have spoken to my wife, and she has a migraine, and lo, I shall be in attendance. Bow down! 🙂 ---

Are we on for tonight? Is anyone on for tonight? Is this thing on? I can be there between 7 and 7:15 or so again. ---

Can’t make it tonight. Until next week… ---

Are we all on the fence about this one, except for those people who’ve already decided to opt out? Would it be easier to take a week off and pick it up again on 2/24? ---

I have to work late tonight (payroll processing). It’s possible I’ll be done by 7pm and will have time to get over to the G&D, but it’s not certain, and I won’t know until I’m actually done. If anybody’s going to be there, please bump the thread again so I know whether to bother showing up or not. ---

I think I’ll take a pass this week also. Heavy work week for me. ---

I think that might be all of the Usual Gang of Idiots. We’re gonna have to take a night off as well and get caught up on some stuff at home. ---

The good news: I can spend the evening coming up with student ad comps for TiVo. The bad news: I have to spend the evening thinking about TiVo. Until _Queer Eye_ comes on. Until next week, then. ---
