Well now, it looks like I won’t have to be driving by the Plaza on the way home after all! Thanks, **Gary T**. My dogs will appreciate the lack of a side trip. ---

By the way, the phone number for Figlio’s is (816) 561-0505. Call if you get lost; ask for our party if you need to speak with one of us for either better directions or anything else you might need. Let’s not get too wild with your interpretation of “… anything else you might need.” 😉 ---

Not sure I can make it really. I work sunday from 3pm- 8pm. Right in the middle of the afternoon. ☹ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by SkipMagic \* > \*\*It’d be great to have you if you can. If you find the time, just pop on by! \*\* Mmmmm… Yes, definitely. I haven’t had fried, baked, or skewered **Epimetheus** since last year’s frenetic feasting fantasy. Maybe we can help you out. Shortly after you get to work, one of us will call up with news that your identical twin has cut themself 122 times while shaving and is in desperate need of a rare blood type transfusion, of which you are the only donor for hundreds of miles. While your boss is laughing at you as you explain this, **Skip** will call him/her/it in his most official, doctory-sounding voice pleading for your release so a human life can be saved. Meanwhile, a meteor is hurtling towards your workplace and… well, we’ll just keep it simple. **Skip** , please begin watching as much _General Hospital_ and _ER_ as you can to get your lingo right. Shoot, I don’t even know if I can come up with a meteor by next week. ---

I’m back! From my trip! Did you miss me? Of course not. I don’t think I missed me. I wasn’t really gone from myself but I would have paid a pretty pence to have an out of body experience, I’ll tell you what. So I’m skimming through this thread. What I’ve gotten is that it’s this Sunday, at Figlio’s, at a time I can’t yet find, and bring cookies. Am I horribly jet lagged here? Cookies? What is the world coming to when we can’t have a single non cookie dopefest? I mean, not that there’s anything wrong with that. Some of my best friends are cookies. Alls I’m saying is sometimes it’s good to do things differently. I’d suggest eating brownies but the scoutmasters would have us arrested. Fine then, I will come. I will eat your cookies. I will even smile. But deep down in the sub cockles of my heart/lung/spleen conglomeration, know that I plan to poop those cookies out at the earliest possible convenience. Maybe sooner. You’ve been warned. ---

**Ender** does have a point… what time’s our reservation for? ---

12:00 (the bright and sunny one). Or, as the very organized **Gary T** said: > [@](#): > > Figlio has confirmed that they have several vegetarian items among the buffet and pasta selections, as well as over a dozen different salads and a number of meatless dishes (with eggs or cheese). I went ahead and made a reservation for 15-20 people for Sunday, July 27th, at noon. The reservation is under the name of **Cecil Adams**. Seriously. ---

Well of _course_ it’s under Cecil Adams. There’s really no other way to do it. But I’d missed the time. Thanks! ---

I hereby lay claim to all cookies that **Enderw24** deems unfit for consumption. All non-coconut-ruined cookies, that is. Is the park that we’re retiring to after dining close enough to walk to or is a driving affair? Which of these places requires clothes again? I’m only bringing one set of clothes, so if I dirty them up, off they come. _“C is for Cookie and that’s good enough for me…”_ ---

There is a park across the street from Figlio. It has a good-sized fountain, with some stone benches around it, and (I believe) an exercise course for joggers. No picnic tables, but a fair amount of space. I can bring a small portable table, and a few folding chairs. If we want to use that park, I’d recommend bringing chairs or blankets to sit on. There are other parks reasonably close by that have picnic tables, which may or may not be in use by someone else. We would have to drive to use one of them. ---

Noon, noon is good. My other other job has told me that I need to be there on Sunday to do inventory. I told them I had a Dopefest and couldnt be there til 5, and hoped that this do would be done during the day. The mention of dope made them scribble furiously into my file, but all well. ---

Your beeeeyoootiful weather gal, **SkipMagic** , now predicts that the high temp for Sunday will be a balmy (or is that “bloody”?) 95 degrees, with possible isolated T-Storms (I guess that means they’ve been lonely and want to come join us…), and a 30% chance for precipitation. When means the clouds will probably start peeing on us. **SkipMagic** would also like to take this time to stick his tongue out at both **Number** and **Katriona** for hurting our feelings by bailing on us before the party even started. And here I was gonna let you two take one of **Horseflesh** ’s rugrats home (one each, that is) as a kind of door prize (as opposed to the actual door). Now it looks like I’ll be forced to draw another couple of Doper names. You bastids! 😛 ---
