Okay, guys. As mentioned in another MPSIMS thread, I have a friend coming here from Edmonton for two weeks. She arrives 11/08/03 and leaves 11/22/03. On November 14 or November 21, do you guys wanna get together for dinner and drinks? It’s been so long since we had one of these things, I’m all sad. I miss you guys, and it’s time to start up again. I know December is probably going to be difficult, so let’s do this in November. ---

Frederick, MD? Dutch’s Daughter? It’s a nice place. And centrally located from Baltimore, Washington, and Purcellville. ---

You want me to take a tourist to Frederick? ---

Hey! I’m from Frederick! But Dutch’s Daughter, what do you think I’m made of gold? ---

I don’t think I’ll be able to make this one. Sorry, Gingy! ---

I don’t think we’ll be going anywhere that requires you dump a metric fuckton of money. I’m a poor immigrant, remember? ---

I’m free those nights, I’d love to come! Would this be in Baltimore? I wouldn’t be able to make it any earlier than 7 though… ---

I don’t know yet. JC seems to think we should go to Frederick. I would prefer not to have to travel for an hour, but that’s just me. We’ll wait to see who is gonna come and then decide where it’s going to be. ---

I’m just suggesting something that might mean I can go. Don’t let that stop you from planning something more convenient. ---

Didn’t I do that already this year? And that would be TWO hours away! ---

I’m not 100% sure yet. Set a date, and I’ll see what I can do, but it’s kinda unlikely. ---
