I think I can make this one. Count me in!

4

Aw shucks, folks! A PARTY, and I don’t even have to clean up my house! Thanks Opal!! :smiley:

5

Don’t you think it’s a little early for that call? :wink:

I’m in.

6

I forgot that everyone knows where I live! :eek:

7

I’m definetly there! The Melting Pot is very fun and yummy. There are lots of other fun places to go in Arlington too for after-dinner celebrations.

OK, y’all have twisted my arm.

Why the fuck do you get a birthday party and I don’t, huh? HUH???
DAMN IT, VALIDATE MEEEEEEEEE!

10

Well, shit. If someone (ahem Ginger) had let us know that it was your birthday, someone would’ve done something, I’m sure. Sheesh.

[sub]Some people’s kids. :D[/sub]

Dang – I already have plans that night. I’ll make it to a MAD event sooner or later – probably later…

12

Alas, while I’ll be in Maryland that weekend, my very limited 2-day stay is already well-scheduled. but if all goes well, I’ll be a MAD soon enough and able to attend activities when I’m not building my house…

13

I’ll be at someone else’s birthday party the same day. (Also in the DC area, natch.)

I remember the last time I went to the Melting Pot, here in Philly. Assuming it’s the same chain, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…

Suddenly, thoughts of chocolate fondue collide with memories of the Peter Cottontail thread about chocolate bunnies that leave crumbs in odd places.

14

Just a little bump…

Well we’ll miss you, Ben, Mom, and Twickster! Any other Washington, DC-area dopers out there?! What about you, Edward the Head? You know you want to come! :wink:

15

Let’s see if we can snag a few vanity searchers…maybe gobear, RTFirefly, that_darn_cat, and danceswithcats.

16

Count me in!

17

Yay! Most of my favorite people are coming!

Robin

18
