it going to be here soon! Do we have any plans together yet? Last I heard, March 18 was the date, and Spaghetti Wherehouse was the place. In Charlotte, NC. There was talk of a second meeting in May. Raleigh would be the meeting place for that, for anyone who cannot make it in March. ---

I tried calling the Spaghetti Warehouse four times today but got no answer. Trying again tomorrow. I received an info packet from the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce today with some alternatives but for sake of ease, I think we should stick with the above plan for right now. How does 5-6pm sound? If I get through to them today, I am going to see if they will let me go ahead and reserve an area. I will have to go back to the other thread and get a final head count but I believe it was around 8 or 9. One more suggestion–could someone else be in charge of the May shindig? Maybe someone who has actually _been_ in Charlotte in the past two years! * * * I have a hobby. I have the world’s largest collection of seashells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world.

Not Charlotte–I meant someone who has been in Raleigh! (For the May get-together) * * * I have a hobby. I have the world’s largest collection of seashells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you’ve seen some of it. ---

Evilbeth, 5-6 pm sounds good. I hope many others can make it. As far as May goes, there are a couple of other Dopers here in Raleigh. Most notable would be Satan (hint). Go to a party hosted by the Master of the Dark? Could be a crowd pleaser, surely. 😉 ---

Hey, I’m halfway between Raleigh and Durham. If there’s a dopers meeting (I wonder if there’s some sort of “echelon” program that monitors email for drug references?), I’ll be there. Satan, we can bargain for my soul if you like, I’ll come up with my requests (fame, wealth, fortune, willing women) by the time May comes around. Only thing is, I’ll be in Florida from the 18th to the 31st, so can we PLEASE do it before then? ---

OK–IT’S OFFICIAL!! THE NC DOPER-FEST IS ON!! We have reservations at the Spaghetti Warehouse on Saturday, March 18th at 5pm. If you can’t make it 'til later, that’s fine, we’ll just start without you! The reservation is for Adams, of course and we hope to see you there! * * * I have a hobby.

I don’t think I be makin’ that. I get in from my flight at 2pm (if all goes well), and although it’s only a four hour drive to Charlotte, would you really want to see me when I’d got drunk and stayed up all night, then caught a flight from NY to NC, then drove four hours? Ha. Oh, and could the May one be after the 5th? * * * I sold my soul to Satan for a dollar. I got it in the mail. ---

Hopefully, I’m not in charge of the May one! I’m thinking we could get the “Dark One” to take the role! Just bumping this so everyone will see it! Surgoshan, sorry you can’t make it but if anything changes and you get in town earlier, please come on by! (Or “drive for a while and sit with us for a minute!”) * * * I have a hobby.

There’s a decent map and direction planner if you go to [charlotte.com](http://charlotte.com), look under guides, then at maps and directions, go to “Find a Business Near You” and eneter the name of the restaurant and choose Charlotte area. (The place is called the Spaghetti Warehouse.) * * * I have a hobby. I have the world’s largest collection of seashells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world.

Ok guys, the deal with the one in May is to make it Memorial Day weekend so that maybe we could pull some people in from Virginia and South Carolina. I think Falcon said something about maybe attending the one in May, that way people wouldn’t have to miss any work. We’ll let you guys go with the one for March and then we’ll get pepped up about the one in May. * * * _I’ve learned that if someone says something unkind about me, I must live so that no one will believe it._ ---

No guarantees for tomorrow here because of prior commitments. I want to, and I’ll try, but it ain’t fer sher. (If I don’t show up by 6, I won’t be at all.)
