You know what? I hadn’t thought of Valentine’s day at all. Honestly, I really want to see Kathryn again, so I picked the earlier date. I suppose the Dopefest is not about me in particular, so if you guys would prefer another date, maybe you could do it without me. I do have quite a bit of alcohol in me at the moment… Maybe this is not a good time for me to decide such things. Tell you what. Why doesn’t one of you (who actually knows where this place is–Le Sang?) call Gullifty’s and see if you can make reservations for 10-12 people on that Friday (under the name of Cecil Adams). If we don’t have that many, too bad for them, I guess. I’ll personally tip well to compensate if we have a lot of no-shows. If we can’t get in, I can reschedule for a later date (as much as I’d hate to). ---

Like I said, whatever’s good for Jester is good for me. But, I would like to second that motion that it not be the week of Valentine’s Day. Not that the holiday means much to me, but my girlfriend’s birthday is the day after. ---

In that spirit… should we try for the 23rd instead? ---

I’m not sure that the 9th wouldn’t work for me but the 23rd is open. Whatever y’all want is fine with me. ---

OK, let’s clarify. The 9th is not the week of Valentine’s Day, it’s the weekend before. If you guys are sure this makes the meeting too difficult to make, then we could push to the 23th. So far, though, I’ve heard nothing that would rule out the 9th for anybody. Oh, and if nobody else can pick up Guin, I suppose I could. Yes, I’m a doormat. Please walk all over me. ---

Dignified? You want to be dignified _now_? I’ve tackled, pinned, and kissed you on a public message board. In front of people we plan on meeting relatively soon. And who are now likely to ask questions. And you know what? I don’t care! Let them wonder all they want. You know how I feel about you. _gently kisses Kathryn’s lips_ ---

Did I said that? Um… _realizes he’s probably said too much_ Sorry folks. Yes, um… getting back to business. The current list of attendees is: **mrblue92 (myself) Medea’s Child Jester Deiket Guinastasia Le Sang SpinneZiege to\_be\_announced 2sense** Possibly: **Philbuck** And, in the event… Oh, nevermind. Order of business: The date/time/location was set on Feb. 9, 7:00 P.M. at Gullifty’s, but **2sense** indicated the 9th might be a problem. Do you guys want to go with the 23rd instead? Secondly, it sounds like Guin could still use a ride. Is anyone coming in from the vicinity of North Hill who could provide her a lift? It seems to be a lot of extra driving for me if I have to. ---

> [@](#): > > So poor Guin is such a bother! A pox on my out of the wayishness! If you were just down the road, I’d wouldn’t have a problem, but if you’re as much as an hour one way (like I think Le Sang said), that’s up to four hours of driving for me: two to pick you up, two to take you back. Maybe more if the traffic is bad. I’m not saying I wouldn’t do it, but it would be a bit inconvenient. If I misinterpreted and it’s an hour both ways, than I wouldn’t bother asking anybody else. Of course, if you’re even half as fun as Medea’s Child… 🙂 ---

I really don’t see too much wrong with the 9th. It is, as has been stated, the week before Valentine’s Day, which is widely known as…well, pretty much a normal weekend. But, if anybody can’t come due to that, the 23rd is fine by me. Is it apparent yet that I’m desperate to meet you guys?
