Pick a date-I’ll probably be there. ---

I see people saying they’re unavailable… but am I missing something? I don’t recall seeing a date set? I can try my darndest to be there… but can’t make any promises. Just waiting to see an actual date proposed. ---

Let’s try for April. Would Saturday the 5th or Saturday the 12th be preferable? ---

I _may_ be able to brave The Slog from the Seattle area if it’s in April - just depends if I can get the night off (I generally work Saturday nights). ---

I’m good for either the 5th or the 12th of April. ---

We’ve made our reservations: 2/27 - 3/2 at the downtown Hilton. Every other place I looked at was full. (Even the Hilton wouldn’t guarantee a king bed–we may end up in doubles.) Anybody still want to get together Friday 2/29 for a Leap Day party at Kennedy School? You guys can do April too… By the way–that K-Mart/Hot Wheels event that I said I drive to Roseburg for? They announced this week when the next one will be: 2/23. So I’ll be driving north two weekends in a row, and I think the weather’s supposed to be bad both times. ---

As far as the eary April event goes, I’ve run into a potential scheduling snag. it looks like I’m in charge of the St. Andrew’s Chili Feed on April 12th. We could have the DopeFest on April 5th, _or_ we could have it at the Chili Feed on the 12th. Regular and vegi chili, fixins on the side, coffee-tea-hot cocoa-sodas etc., desserts. ---
