Keeping **moi** away would be the hard part 😉 ---

Not only am I in, but I’ve already registered myself the seat next to ya, **TP**. 😉 **twickster** , the waitress was a cute, fast-talkin’ redhead, as suits the environs of an Irish pub. Additionally, she was able to make me a wonderful concoction called Strongbow Black, which I haven’t had the pleasure of for…um, maybe three years? Anyway, it was a surprising find, and as she brought it to the table, I declared her Best. Waitress. Ever. She showed her appreciation by taking my orders first and delivering my food and drinks first for the rest of the evening. 🙂 Did I mention she was cute? Anyway, I don’t want to rush people back to Fado, as part of the fun of this whole enterprise has been exploring new places to eat! But, if everyone else is up for it, I’ll certainly return on Friday. I even know what I’ll be ordering! ---

One benefit of being anal retentive about paperwork is that you save receipts until credit card bills are reconciled, hence you have the server’s name. I’ll readily echo the sentiments about the lovely lass being eye candy. Presuming I survive the coming week, I shall endeavor to commingle with you all at the appointed place. I’ve even learned of a lot where I can save $5 on parking the bus. 😃 ---

Either you’re all supahfriendly or I make good lap fodder–this is my second Doper lap offering. Either way, hoorah! ---

**moi** , it’s definitely that you make good lap fodder. (Ok, so everyone is supahfriendly too, but as no one as asked _me_ to sit in their laps, I think it’s safer to go with the good lap fodder. :D) It looks like it’s going to be another good group o’ people. So far, we have 9. **TP Verrain tdc moi DocCathode twickster Meros Cleophus danceswithcats** I’m calling the reservation in on Wednesday so y’all have until then to get in on this! ---

**TP** , my secretary at work somehow got her hands on my livejournal and has decided that a single Meros is something that simply cannot be…if she has her way I may end up being two, just a word of warning. If I’m not I’ll still drink enough Guiness for two though 😃 ---

I’ll give them a number for 10 then. But does this mean that you’ll be less in the lap department? ☹ ---

It will all depend on how much you let me drink. Don’t worry, I’ll save a spot for you somehow. ---

You can drink as much as you want, darlin’. (Even have the spare bedroom if you drink too much and can’t drive.) Just don’t make me pay for another vodka shot! 🙂 ---

Wow, 2 Meroses (or would that be Meroii?). Just think, you could stay home **and** travel to far away DopeFests. I don’t know if I could put up with another DopeDinner. Then again, I am a glutton for punishment. Sure, count me in. ---

Frank, don’t tease! 😉 TP: Are we on for 6:30 or 7 p.m. this Friday? I’m asking because I’d like to squeeze in an art opening before hand; [FW+M’s wallpaper show](http://www.fabricworkshopandmuseum.org/exhibitions/on_the_wall.php) opens Friday from 5:30 to 7:30. **In other news:** _Gah_, says the stressball **moi**. This weekend can’t come quickly enough! I may be either a blithering idiot or completely comatose by Friday, but I’m definitely making it. Okay, back to the grind for me… ---

I’ll let you know when I call tomorrow for the reservation. I’ll try for the 7 again, but I have a feeling they’ll give us the 6:30. If you need to be late, I’ll do my best to save a seat near me for you. 😉 ---
