Grizzly Peak it is. (unless something else gets our ADHD planning’s attention)

Now we need a date.

Oh, Booo Hiss to the Language Taliban.

Do we have any dates. I think I would be up for an Ann Arbor soiree ( especially, since I have an undying wuv for NIcola’s books and The Vault of Midnight.)

Hm. I WOULD like to meet Pengy…

The moosesses don’t bite, do they? I think they’d probably bite if you carved your initials in them, but that’s another story…

This sounds like something I would enjoy being in on. Problem being, I am guaranteed to work every Friday and Saturday night, so I probably can’t make it if it is scheduled for one of these. (Which I am assuming it is)

With enough advanced notice, isn’t there a chance you could schedule a night off?

I work from home… so it doesn’t really matter to me, but I think it needs to be on the weekend for everybody who works mon-fri. TRY AND GET THE NIGHT OFF, Captain\_C! Come down with shingles or something, if ya know what I mean 😉

What about the weekend of June 15th – 17th. Anything in there?

Is it too late to join the party? June is fairly wide open for me, and I have dinner in Ann Arbor every night these days…spicing it up with some sociable dopers would be a nice change of pace 🙂
