I should be there sometime before 7:30. Also, I recommend sitting outside if the weather’s at all accomodating. You can hear better and it’s not as smoky, even if the smokers don’t leave the table to smoke. So we could be inside to the left as you come in the door, or outside. Tonight’ll be the guy who blitzes through the questions, so we should be done by 10:00 but confront our ignorance of world geography in the process. ---

I’ll be there. Looks like we might be fielding (pubbing?) two teams again. So, any new ideas for team names? As long as **Cervaise** is there, I suppose one team will be going with **Werewolves of Swindon** , since the Warren Zevon joke has been waiting in the wings for a while. ---

I’ll be there, and I think a chum from work will be attending also, so it’ll definately be two teams, or else one massive cheat fest. I’m off to stare at some atlases(atlai?)(atlasess) for a couple hours. ---

I’m also coming - but this time I _know_ I won’t be there until slightly after 8. See you then. ---

I also will be there, in the neighborhood of 7:30 to 7:45. Did we mention the rule that the new guy buys the first round? What? Okay, but there _should_ be a rule… 😛 ---

> [@Cervaise](#): > > Did we mention the rule that the new guy buys the first round? > > What? Well since I am on the road this week on company business, my boss will be buying the first round. 😃😃😃 Hey it will probably be cheaper than if I went to dinner by myself! You guys are just like dopers everywhere, the way to your heart is alcohol. I will try to get there by about 7. ---

We’re in. I’ll be going home first, so we’ll prolly be there around 7:30 or so. And since everyone else seems so reluctant to post it: I’m wearing a green sweater with brown sleeves. Jeans. Short hair, longish bangs, glasses, goatee. And I’m very good looking. Positively Adonis-esque, in fact. Yes. ---

Looks like we’ll be there sometime earlier than 7:30 as we are no longer going home first. Looks like it’ll be sometime around 5:30-6:00. ---

No victory! Weep for the lack of two measley points. But: > [@Rick](#): > > my boss will be buying the first round Thanks, Rick’s boss! 😃 Also, I confirmed that the film festival member preview will be Tuesday 5/4, so I won’t be there next week. Then the fest starts on 5/20, so there’s three additional Tuesdays I won’t be there for. I’ll miss you guys! _—sniff—_ ---

I’ll be there tonight by 7:15 or so. I’m pretty sure **inkysplotchy** is coming as well. Anyone else? ---

I myself will not be there, as I am currently in DC for work. **E. Thorp** is here as well, and I’m not sure whether he’ll have a chance to post as well, so I’ll say it for him: I don’t think he’s going to make it. **Lady Cheek** , on the other hand, will be showing with her sister, who is in the area visiting. She should be posting under my name (just once!) to let you know what time she’ll be there. Good luck! ---

Lady Cheek sez: Look forward to seeing Interrobang!? & inksplotchy… I’ll be there with my sister so that makes at least 4. ---

Sorry to screw up the unusually balanced male/female ratio, but I’ll be there. Probably around about 7. Remember, everyone: Bring layers. If we sit outside (which I, for one, prefer), it could be chilly later on. ---

> [@Saltire](#): > > Remember, everyone: Bring layers. If we sit outside (which I, for one, prefer), it could be chilly later on. All things being equal, I prefer to sit outside. But given today’s weather, I’m voting for an indoor table, layers or no. ---

Gosh, you’re right! When I posted above, I hadn’t looked out the window in hours, and we were having a sunbreak when I did look. Now, less than and hour later, we got a squall in progress out there. If I’m first there, I’ll try to claim a table on the elevated section to the left. Inside. ---

I’ll probably be there, but I’ll be playing basketball and then fencing, so if I’m really wiped out and/or missing limbs I might just pass. I will telephone my closest blood kin at the table i this event, though. ---

I doubt I’ll make it. I’ll rush over if I have an unexpected change of plans, but I’m not, um, expecting that.
