Thanks, **cmyk**! Depending upon scheduling, I might be able to come. The early summer is already filling up here, though; I already know I couldn’t do it the weekend of June 11-12. ---

Apples to Apples? I remember playing that in Ann Arbor with a student group. What about… Zombie Dice? I played that recently at the community college with another student group. Why don’t we meet up at Olive Garden? I saw on the website they still have the Soup, Salad and Breadstick Lunch going on. The bread is the deal-breaker. UNLIMITED BREAD. ---

I have Kill Doctor Lucky! Damn you guys for getting me hooked on that game. I’m free on Friday. Any other day I’m a Kroger/Eastern Michigan University slave. ☹ Just tossing that out there, I’ll understand if Friday’s not good for anyone else. ---

Never heard of Zombie Dice, but I’m game for anything. Kill Doctor Lucky is awesome! As far as the Olive Garden, the Sicilian blood that courses through my veins runs cold at the thought… I was thinking we could skip the restaurant and driving around thing to keep it simple, but if you guys’d rather meet someplace first, we could do that? There’s a Papa Vino’s across the street from my place. In defense, we have unlimited bread too (replete with olive oil & roasted garlic)! 😉 ---

I even have the non-Cheapass version (and I bought the Cheapass version too, of course) complete with colored mansion map, player tokens, and _spite_tokens (I’ll save the mystery of those for when we play!;)) ---

( **Olives,** are you going to be in town long? I imagine your schedule would be pretty hectic.) So, I think we can make this happen. June 11th is my 10 year high school reunion (and 5 year wedding anniversary) and I want to go, so it would have to be the 12th. I know some people can’t make it. Maybe we could do a mini-fest on that weekend in the Ann Arbor area. ---
