I’m about 50/50…I would love to make one of these but I just have so much going on in my life right now it’s hard to get away for even a day down there. ---

I’m 75% sure I’ll be attending, I’d really like to meet some fellow Dopers (and **Auto** , I must admit you’re fascinating. Should I keep an eye on the utensils around you though? 😉 ) ---

Well crud. Now it looks like I will have a date with a mouse on Saturday. Sorry kids, but the mouse wins this time. 🙂 Maybe next time… ---

[QUOTE=Autolycus] You know… I COULD bring the ladle, but I dont think that’s really necessary 😃 [/QUOTE] You should really upgrade to the “Knight Rider.” 😃 I do believe they sell it on Good Vibes, but I’m not gonna linky linky. It is purple, though, and that always gets bonus points. ---

OK, I was wrong about the arch, it does not arch over Park Avenue rather there is an arch on either side of Park Avenue on the Rollins College side of Fairbanks. The Panera is right there. (I was on the avenue Friday for a friend’s birthday celebration) We don’t have a gig on Saturday night so I’m 95% sure my hubby and I will be attending. Looking forward to it. Just to clarify…are we meeting at Panera or by the actual Arch? Just making sure that I don’t spend any more time than usual wandering around looking like an idiot. ---

Cool, I’m excited. Last time we did this I organized it and it was very hot outside. I’m excited to meet everybody, plus I haven’t seen **Shibb** in a year so that will be very good. I’m driving up from St. Pete so hopefully traffic won’t be terribly bad. Do we have a designated sign maker and everything? Can’t wait to see everyone! -foxy ---
