My friend \*\* tisiphone\*\* will be visiting Kirkland this coming week, and we are going to get together Friday night. That would be December 6.
Is anyone interested in dinner that night? We could either do it in the Kirkland area, or I could pick her up and bring her to Seattle…whichever works out best in terms of the most people being able to attend.
Sorry for the short notice, but **tis** just found out she was coming.
I sure hope some of you are free that night!
Much Love,
Cheri

Some one of these centuries there will be one of these on a weekend when the Ottlets are not in residence.
Till then, have fun. . .

Sorry,
the Sunday School class I’m teaching is having a slumber party that night. However, if you’re in Kirkland early enough, I might run in and run back out.
I will make it to an entire dopefest someday.
Really, I will.

Sorry you can’t make it, \*\* OttoDaFe\*\*, but I hope VERY much that one of these days we will be priviledged to meet you. We are a really low key bunch, and we wouldn’t mind if you brought the kids. REALLY. You’d like us, I PROMISE! 🙂
**amarinth** darling! How are you doing? I will be in Kirkland by 5PM one way or the other, email me with your schedule and we will try to work something out.

What am I thinking… **tis** won’t be done until 5, but I can meet you anytime that day…if you are free we can go shopping or have a latte or whatever. Just let me know.

**KKB** and I can make it.
We can boogie in Seattle or Kirkland, so it’s up to **tisiphone** and others.

Unfortunately, I have the kids this coming week and (soon to be ex-) Mrs. Tonk will be in SEA with her boyfriend.
[Yeah, I’m bitter.]
One of these days I’ll make it to a SEA Dopefest. I can usually get a free flight down and back and I’ve got a place to stay in West Seattle.
Keep ‘em comin’ **Scotticher**. Maybe next time.

This was originally posted at an alternate board - figured since no one had posted this to the SDMB thread, I would. Also serves as a \>bump\<

No, I’m still in Bellingham. And we would love to have you join us, but I am leaving now so if you come, please make sure you are there at 5 (on time) since if we don’t know you are coming, we can’t wait for you. ☹
Actually, I will just mail you my cellphone number. Call if you are coming or just show up at 5.
And it turns out the La Quinta Inn is actually in Kirkland, just so there is no confusion.
See you tonight

Dang, I’m going to miss out again. Got my own work xmas party to go to. Is anyone interested in a second-chance get-together on Saturday afternoon?
( **Barbarian** , where’s your wife’s party going to be? It wouldn’t happen to be at the Four Seasons, would it?)
