Polycarp
Mrs. Polycarp

Geez. How many threads does a guy need to post on, saying, “I’m still coming to Norfolk,” before he’ll get on the list of attendees? :rolleyes:
I know: Forty-two.
Anyhow, I’m still coming to Norfuck. 
Slight clarification: we’ll provide transportation for Smoothie if Mr. Operator chooses not to attend, in view of the absence of the carrier tour. So she definitely will be there (unless she chooses for some reason not to go); it’s her husband who is a maybe.
Okay, so the current list is…
Aenea
Falcon
ChiefScott
Satan
Melin
Pldennison
Peta Tzunami
Polycarp
Mrs. Polycarp
UncleBeer
SmoothOperator
Mr. SmoothOperator (maybe)
Lucretia
bluesman
Needs2know
RTFirefly
Mrs. RTFirefly
I may be able to make it. School starts back the previous week, and there are seminars I’m going to have to attend on some Saturdays, so I can’t say for sure, and probably won’t be able to until that week. Anyway, put me on the tentative list.
I’m gonna bounce this for the Chief, since his 'net access is spotty at the moment. And 'cuz he asked us to give Falcon shit for missing, not one, but two previous doper meetings.
Maybe I oughtta go, too, eh? At the moment, that weekend is free for me, and Norfolk is but four hours away.
Is there a caravan leaving the DC area?
Add me to the list with a “maybe,” Falcon.
One Dopefest was over a HOLIDAY! That is NOT my fault! Grrrrr.
And Montfort, there probably will be. I’m heading down from DC, but I’m getting to Norfolk early, so who knows…
So, the current list is:
Aenea
Falcon
ChiefScott
Satan
Melin
Pldennison
Peta Tzunami
Polycarp
Mrs. Polycarp
UncleBeer
SmoothOperator
Mr. SmoothOperator (maybe)
Lucretia
bluesman
Needs2know
RTFirefly
Mrs. RTFirefly
Tark (maybe)
Cabbage (maybe)
Montfort (maybe)
LOL 
It finally sinks in !
you guy’s are talking about Norfolk as in the US ! Damnit !
You’ve got to admit, on an international board, confusion is possible.
Apologies and regrets

Does this mean you aren’t attending? Damn. Another one gets away.
Slight change of plans . . . I may actually be able to make the Norfolk gathering. Will check with school people to make sure (or not) so put me down for a definite maybe. And here I thought I wouldn’t be able to go . . .
Good, we’ll be able to fight for the IBTC members, as well as Poysyn, there. 
Friend, we may well be in the same car going down . . . we’ll have plenty of opportunity to fight
Besides, can’t we just pick? I’m sure we don’t look for exactly the same things . . .
Hmm, okay, we’ll have to divide them. I’ll go first. I take Poysyn. 
Put me back on the maybe list. My back may not be able to take that long a trip. Hubby and I are going to make a trip to the mountains to see if I can do this. If everything goes well, then I’ll show up one way or another. Poly it’s not that I wouldn’t love to ride with you and Skulldigger, I just don’t know if I can make this trip up and back in one day. Hubby and I will drive up early Saturday and then drive back Sunday. I really don’t think that I could go up and come back in one day. Right now my back isn’t acting up, but I don’t want to push it. But I still love you. Smoochies. shhhhh don’t tell Skulldigger.
Hey…didn’t Bluesman say something at the last DC Doperfest about attending the next gathering in uniform for all the ladies. Not that I…I mean, I was just mentioning it because…um…Satan made…<naw, no one’ll buy that>…um Falcon made me ask! [smilie omitted for Chief]
What? No Sqrlcub and DCNewsman? <pouting>
Psst…Peta…
ChiefScott has promised to come to dinner IN UNIFORM! bluesman, care to follow suit? After all, we can’t have the Navy showing up the Air Force, can we?
(Hee hee hee…TWO guys in uniform!!!)
I shall be there in Blue, my dear Falcon and Peta. Now, if we can only find a Soldier and a Marine, we’d be fully joint.
Well, PLD was an ARMY brat, but (I don’t think) they have uniforms for those. Maybe PLD and I should detour through Fort Belvoir or Quantico on our way…maybe grab a soldier or pick up a few jarheads for the road…
Hey, I hadda bump this up with something, didn’t I? [smilie omitted]
