The bf and I are headed up to NYC a week later on the 23rd. Oh, well, one of these days. . . ---

**Zoltarb** says he wants to come but only if he can drop an egg into the pot while it’s cooking. That’s the way he eats his weekly cubic hectometer of Ramen, anyway. ---

And here we are, almost Friday! Well, it’s never really almost Friday enough for my tastes, but our date is fast approaching never-the-less. By my count, here’s who is on board: Billdo Cerowyn (wow, surprise guest!) Cosmopolitan delphica manhattan monstro NotWithoutRage OxyBF OxyMoron TellMeI’mNotCrazy Ukulele Ike (be still, my heart!) Wonko The Sane Zoltarb And in the “Maybe” corner, we have: DAVEW0071 RTFirefly WordMan If you “maybe” folks could post when you know your plans, that would be great for me to know when making the restaurant reservation, thanks! Also, Biggirl – are you coming or what? You know I’m easily confused, no fair posting for Zoltarb and not telling me if you will attend! ---

We MADs are getting together in VA on the 17th to celebrate **Anita Vacation** ’s birthday, so I think I’ll let that be my Dopefest RDA for the weekend. ---

I am thinking of coming in my fancy-schmancy silver dress that got me thrown out of that fancy/schmancy ball. If I get thrown out of the noodle place then I’ll know it’s all about the dress and its evil kick-the-bitch-out rays. ---

I’m not sure about dinner (it depends on my workload), but if I’m still in the neighborhood around 8, 8:30, I’ll wander over to The Kettle of Fish and look for you folks. ---

Okay, I’m in. Save me a place at the table at Sammy’s, and a place under the table at the Kettle. ---

We are now the proud owners of reservations at Sammy’s Noodle Shop! Just to recap, here is the game plan for the evening: Date: Friday, April 16 Time: 6:30 PM Place: Sammy’s Noodle Shop, 6th Avenue at 10th Street After dinner, we will be gathering at the Kettle of Fish, which is at 59 Christopher Street, just east of 7th Avenue. If anyone is planning to join us for the drinks portion only, my best guess is that we’ll be finishing dinner between 7:45 and 8 PM and heading to the Kettle around that time. We’re expecting to see: Alphagene Biggirl Billdo Canby Cerowyn Cosmopolitan DAVEW0071 delphica lurkernomore manhattan (ya owe me a dollar) monstro NotWithoutRage OxyBF OxyMoron pseudotriton ruber ruber TellMeI’mNotCrazy Ukulele Ike Wonko The Sane Zoltarb Maybe: WordMan Starkyld Winterwren (for drinks) See you tomorrow night!
