Just for reference, I’m very short, and I have long blonde hair. I’ll probably be early, since I’m done work at 4:30 (I have a few errands to run in between work and minidope.). I also tend to be clueless of my surroundings, so feel free to wack me with a crutch if I don’t notice you \*\*twickster \*\* 🙂 -Pandora ---

Yeah, I’ll probably be early also … see you around six? ---

I may or may not be there. If I come, it will be no earlier then 6:30 and possbly later. It all depends on work. Dave ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Yeah, I’ll probably be early also … see you around six? Sure, I should be there right around six…(maybe a little before, I brought a book to read 🙂 ) ---

I’ve been watching this thread to see if any of you guys post to it. Nobody has, so I guess I’ll be the first. We should plan to do it again soon, maybe we can make it a regular thing. We should probably all exchange email addresses. Anyone who wants to email me can, (see my profile) and I’ll put you in my address book. Dave ---

Yeah, I had a good time also. If the Boards hadn’t been down that evening, I might have posted something to that effect. It sounded to me like there was general agreement that we do it again, in King of Prussia next time. Next month sometime, maybe? ---

King of Prussia is good for me. Next month, or even sooner, is fine also. Dave ---

Sorry I haven’t posted, our internet connection at work has been very shakey lately. I just wanted to say that I had a good time the other night. It was quite nice to meet you all. I’d definately be interested in getting together again. Since my internet capabilities may be hit or miss for awhile, please let me know any plans by e-mail (my address is in my profile.) [Note: I may be moving (a local move) in the near future, so I might not be available for the next month or so. If I have to skip a fest, please forgive me 🙂] Thanks again -Pandora ---

So let’s do this thing people! How about next week sometime? Or maybe this weekend. I’ll try to email any of you who don’t respond in this thread. I hope that we can contact everybody. I only received one email (you can still send one, my address is in my profile). I’ll try to get the others’ from their profiles. I guess anyone who doesn’t read this and doesn’t have an address in their profile is out of luck. Maybe we should have exchanged numbers or something. ---

I was going to wait until after the wake for Persephone before raising the issue again, but, yeah, let’s get together again. I think there was general agreement that we hit King of Prussia next time – not my stomping grounds, so someone else will have to figure out what our restaurant options are. ---

I wasn’t familiar with Persephone or aware of what had happened (I just did a search and read about it). We can wait till later if you’d prefer. My condolences to her friends and family. ---

Okay, does anybody want to do this again? I’m going to be away the first part of April but I can probably do it this week or the early part of next week. Am I the only one who still checks this thread? Dave ---

Unfortunately, I’m probably going to have to bow out of the next meeting… I’m in the middle of packing and moving at the moment, and free time is the stuff of fairy tales. I will keep an eye on the pilly suburbs threads, and will attend if I can. ---

Sounds good to me. How about next week? Tuesday worked well last time – shall we say Tuesday the 30th? Someone other than me is going to have to propose venues, though, if we’re hitting King of Prussia. **Pandora** – I note you’ve changed your location line – does this mean you’ve moved down here? ---

I’m afraid I won’t be able to make it this time. I have a conference next week, and won’t be available. I hope to be able to make the next one, though. ---

Next Tuesday sounds good for me. There’re lots of places to eat in K of P. I wonder what’s up with Scuba\_Ben and JohnM? I see that JohnM is now a charter member so he’s still hanging around, at least. I guess I’ll email them to see if they’re interested. Dave ---

Oops, looks like I submitted right after John. I can still email Ben to see if he’s interested, but it’s looking like we’re not going to have enough people to make it much of a get together. ---

Gotta admit, though next week isn’t out of the question for me, it’s not ideal, either. Should we just give up and go for mid April sometime? When will you be back, **dave**? ---

I’ll be back on the 6th of April. So anytime from the 7th on is probably good for me. Maybe by the middle of April everyone will be available. I just emailed Ben at the address in his profile and suggested that he drop into this thread if he’s interested. Dave ---
