Robin, I’m sorry you and Dave can’t make it. I was really looking forward to seeing the two of you. Wayne, what time is this supposed to be starting? I was planning on heading down straight from work on Friday. Makes a lot more sense than coming back to University City. ---

Whenever this officially starts, Am, if you want to head there straight from work, we’ll plan on getting there about the same time you do. We’ve got the day off anyway, so we’re pretty flexible. ---

Wow…i’s really weird seeing my real name here. It actually almost didn’t register as being me. I’m going to give them a time of 7:00 so that I can give them adequate warning of Impending Doom™. That doesn’t mean there’s anything to stopanyone from enjoying a drink or two at the bar beforehand, though. (I know I will) Another question to ask for when I give the warning: If the group is small enough to fit do we want the coffin room? ---

I think so. If we’re small enough. I’m still planning on a music mix to play there. I’ll probably get there around 5:30 or so. Thanks, guys. ---

I’m planning on being there as well, not sure what time yet…probably 7ish unless I decide to take a half day on Friday. Hotel rooms appear to be a bit rich for my blood, though, so I don’t know how long I can stay. ---

Let’s see… you’ve got Jadis twice to start with. 😉 Other than doubling her up, I talked to Sal and he won’t be able to make it. **Morgyn** will, so add her in.

Barring a miracle, there’s no way I can skip a day of school on which a project is due _and_ find someone to drive me to Philadelphia. If I could drive, I’d be there in a red-hot minute. Alas, I join the ranks of those who will be there in spirit. ---

As is, I have a paper worth 20% and a test worth 10% of my grade. I could turn the paper in early, but the test doesn’t work the same way. ---

It’s actually a bar/restaurant. Downstairs is the bar, upstairs the restaurant. And the food is pretty good. They know **Cleophus** there from his “Sprite, no ice”. 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/philadelphia-wake-for-persephone/232897.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/philadelphia-wake-for-persephone/232897.md?page=3)
