[QUOTE=cmyk]  
What about the weekend of June 15th – 17th. Anything in there?  
[/QUOTE]

I’ll be in town that weekend, but I’m leaving town for a week on the 18th. I think I can make it to AA that weekend.

Arg. I have 2 graduation parties to attend that day, and we’re lugging the kids, so taking them ot the bar afterward is not going to work. I recommend the pretzel encrusted salmon, if it’s still offered. It’s awesome.

[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever]  
Grizzly Peak it is. (unless something else gets our ADHD planning’s attention)

Now we need a date.  
[/QUOTE]

Y’all might wanna make sure the Straight Dope is still welcome at Grizzly Peak. We had a previous 'fest there in Jan '00. Just don’t make your reservations under the name “Cecil Adams,” and you should be okay.

Pshaw! It’s been plenty of time. I’m sure they’ve forgotten then name of (lightning crash) “Cecil Adams” (lightning crash).  
…Hm. Maybe they haven’t.

Aye!

Oh wait, June 16? I think I’ve got something I’m supposed to do that day…softball game? Birthday? Ahhh, I think I’m getting married. Yep, that’d be it.

Enjoy yourselves, though. I’ll be in next time!

Well, judging from the first picture, I say we’re all fools if we don’t go!

Should we make nametags? Sit at the table and let Og sort 'em all out?

Awww, congrats!

I think I’m good for the 16th, or moving it to July to accomodate everyone else is always an option too…

Well, maybe it’ll go well enough that we have another one soon, eh? 🆒

By the way…what about a Double Dopefest? We plan on another, later Dopefest for the ones that can’t make it to the first one!  
…Should I go back in the box now?
