Due to Airman’s being demobilized early, we can’t afford to make it out. Darn. ☹ Robin ---

I haven’t talked with her in a while, **scott** … I said a quick hello yesterday, but she was crazy busy with a paper. I’ll find out, though. ---

Looking more & more like I should make the Sunday & Monday events. As for Saturday, January 17th (and my 25th BIRFDAY, may I remind you); I’m departing from Ft. Laurderdale at approx. 2:00 PM on said day, which means I could probably make it to No Idea that night. Maybe. I hope. ---

I’m in for Saturday’s Bridge Walk, etc. I’ll be taking a bus into the city so that I don’t have to drive back after No Idea’s, whick looks like it’ll be a blast. Looking forward to that place based on the website and link (Our bartenders are smooth faced, and we pass the shavings on to you.) Let me know where and when to meet up for that, so I can make my ticket purchase. I love NYC, but I don’t think I want to hang around solo for more than maybe two hours. Without looking, I’m guessing the bus will drop me off at Port Authority. How far is the Bridge from there? The more I think about it, the more I’m looking forward to it. Can’t wait to finally put faces with names. ---

Semi-bump. Anybody do an updated attendee list? I’m a-coming! I’ve got all the arrangements set, thanks to a certain, helluvaguy/ex-moderator, and I’ll be in the city on Friday afternoon – stretching into Monday morning. I have no idea what I’m interested in doing either day for festivities, but there may actually be a “let’s find a bar and watch the Patriots play-off game” excursion that I’d probably volunteer in leading. Can’t wait!! I had so much fun last year and this year I don’t have to drive five hours to get there. Translation: hangovers are on me!! ---

I’m sorry, bar? Heyll no. It’ll be in your hotel room. ---

Thanks for the semi-bumps. I’ve started another [official thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=232059), and I’d appreciate it if you could check in so I can have who’ll be there and when all in one place. Perhaps we can let this thread drop, and jump into that thread and **scott evil** s.
