Another bump…
Is everyone still in for tonight?

Looks like the probable attendees are:
Jess (and spouse?)
nyctea scandiaca
Scuba Ben
Mama Zappa
Typo Knig
“Dweezil”
So that’s 6 (or 7).
Possible other: Larry Borgia
We’ll be the family with the slender barely-teen kid, looking confused near the entrance (I think I’ll recognize Scuba Ben from previous fests).

My husband will be with me – his conference finished up sooner than he thought. SHould I call for reservations, do you think?

Just called – they don’t take reservations anyway, for parties smaller than 12. I’ll be wearing khaki shorts and a striped teeshirt and will look like my feet hurt (which they do).

Yeah, was just going to say they probably don’t. And since today’s a Wednesday, probably not needed.
I’m wearing a black polo shirt with a logo on it, and blue jeans and Birkenstocks.

I’ll be there! I’ll probably be wearing a purple tank top and black pants (I’m female, by the way, for those who don’t know me IRL yet!)

We too had a blast!
Dweezil, as you can see, was enjoying his pizza 😊
