MAD syzygy- FairyChatMom, Oxymoron, and May 30th

I’ve got about four each of folding indoor chairs and folding outdoor chairs. I don’t expect I can bring all eight, but I could bring most of them. Let me know what would be most helpful.

The folding outdoor chairs would be most helpful. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I’ll be having to give this one a miss. We’ve just been down that way too darned much lately (in fact, just yesterday, we were spittin’ distance from Anita’s house!), and with the price of gas and all. . .

Fortunately, we will be making it to the Ghettysburg Fest on June 19th! We’ll be sure to make it down that way as much as we can, though! Have fun, and if anyone thinks of it, have a beer for me. :slight_smile:

I’m sorry to hear that you and Mr W will not make the trip. Who else can I count on to keep a grip on that kitchen counter so it doesn’t flip over? :frowning:

Anyone who needs directions, please shoot me an email.

Well, I suppose the very least I can do is to appoint an official counter balancer; I appoint RTFirefly :smiley:

That’s silly - you know how unbalanced I am! :slight_smile:

Anita, I’ll bring those chairs.

I’ll have no excuses! It’s all up to you! Now, be a man and do your job. :wink:

We’re supposed to go to my mother’s on Sunday. She lives way up north of Baltimore, so there’s no way we can make it from there to your place and then home again. In fact, due to some boat work that has to be done (our water pump is failing - showering is interesting…) we have to skip Rolling Thunder, too.

Sorry we won’t be partying with y’alls… :frowning:

Nooooooo!!!
:frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

[sub]:: snicker :: But considering the water pump situation, maybe I should be saying thanks instead. :: snort ::[/sub]

:smiley:

I am not bringing short people, but I may bring my friend Dan - are we ok with lurkers? I also have one folding chair I’ll bring, and please let me know if there are specific other things you want - otherwise I’ll bring beer and something salad-y.

See you all Sunday!

AnnaLucretia, Dan is welcome so long as you have him sign the standard release form first. You’ve warned him about us, right?

We may have lost FCM, but we still have our backup guest of honor TTO who is expecting to be “showered” with gifts. Let’s show him that he should be more careful what he wishes for.

weatherunderground is predicting a lovely weekend with high temps in the mid 80s and low chance of rain, but in any case, the cookout is on, rain or shine!

See you Sunday!

If you’re still reading, Anita, there’s about a 50% chance I can make it, but I won’t be driving the whole way. There’s a Metro stop nearby, right?

Should I bring anything?

Well, it depends on how you define “near”… the East Falls Church metro stop is about… a minute and a half away, assuming you get the red light. I suppose for a small fee someone could break away long enough to come get you…

Nah, don’t try to carry stuff if you’re coming on the Metro. We’ve got it covered.

Check your email for directions and phone info.

PIE

It’s mild and overcast so it won’t be hot enough to throw down the “slip’n’slide” and turn on the hose. On the bright side, nobody has to worry about wearing sunscreen. :cool:

Attendees are invitied to bring foodstuffs of their choice, beasts of burden, or gold.
Fire and rum to be provided. Cast your lots now, and be not weak or faint of heart! :wink:
[/QUOTE]

I will be there, but not until 8ish. I don’t have furniture, however I can bring food and drink.

Thank you Anita, you glutton for punishment! Yet another Dope gathering is behind us, complete with grilling in the rain, cicadas attacking my crotch, and a smackdown to Mr. Liver. :eek: :smiley:
Can’t wait to do it again, but without the cicada part. Insects and my nether regions shouldn’t be in the same sentence. :wink:

Thanks Anita, it was a great party, as usual. I’m going to miss your parties :frowning: Highlights of the night include screenings of Bananaphone, Kenya, and Yatta. Very funny stuff indeed! :smiley:
