Well, it probably goes without saying that **we** will be there, but I did want to let anyone who is interested that this will be my last post for a while, as our internet is going off-line a few minutes. If anyone wants to contact us, **RT** has our number, as well as **Weirddave** and **Ginger**. See y’all on Sunday! ---

Any No.Va. Dopers need a ride? The Bozo Bus will leave the East Falls Church Metro station around 3pm. All Aboard! ---

**RTFirefly** , will you send me the directions? I’m going to try to make it. I’d love to see the Bluesclan before they leave our fair area and it’s been _so_ long since I made a Dopefest. ---

If we went up Saturday we’d still have to leave on Sunday cause I gotta work Monday (and everyday after that) until I get these hours in.☹ I’ll miss the Bluesclan! Give the littlest Blues a hug from me and pun.🙂 ---

You can tentatively count me in. I looks like I lucked out and managed to secure an early shift at my job for Sunday and should be off by noon or so. However they’ve told me one thing before and then gone and done something else too many times for me to count so I can’t be 100% sure. Sorry if my uncertainty screws up your planning or anything. ---

Anybody who’s hard up for a ride can very easily convince me that they need me to take a long side-trip to Bumfuck, Nowhere to pick them up. Seriously. I’m offering. 🙂 ---

Oh yeah: who’s bringing what, in the way of side dishes and desserts? I’ll be making black bean salsa and a humongous fruit salad, and we’ve got some ice cream. Also, I will be away from my computer between midday today and midday tomorrow, due to my sister’s wedding this afternoon and associated festivities. Anyone else who wants to come tomorrow is still quite welcome! I won’t have the opportunity to email directions, so I’ve posted them [here](http://www.chesapeake.net/~jackinae/ileen/Directions.txt). ---

We’re in the ‘probably going’ category, now. You may celebrate. The only thing that may stop us is some work stuff from Lady Chance. If that software build blows up we’re out. Otherwise we’re with you. I’ll bring some wine. ---

Good thing I found this thread, eh? **panache** and I are planning on attending. As for what we’re bringing… umm… it’ll be a surprise? (code for: I haven’t the foggiest idea) ---

I’m going to try and make it, but can’t say for sure if I can…it’s a question of wether I can reschedule my plans on short notice. If I can’t make it, I wish everyone a merry time. ---

This is the Boss-lady who can’t be arsed to logout and log back in as herself while in dial-up hell. We will be bringing a vegetable thing. I think salad, as a description, will cover it. Somebody better bring gum for Anita. 😛 ---
