Or by asking the square root of 289 perhaps?

I’ll be wearing a royal blue lined windbreaker jacket, black jeans, and I have a goatee. That ought to narrow the field a bit.

Here’s the list I have:

**TroubleAgain** - Guest of Honor!  
**Zyada** & **rjk**  
**lobotomyboy63  
Balance  
dalej42  
pilot141  
Ponder Stibbons  
Tully Mars** & spouse  
**phouka**

**bump** and **Mtgman** have weighed in on the thread, but haven’t said they are coming

I’ve made the reservation for eleven people at 6 PM. If anyone else wants to come, I’m sure we can get them to add another table.

I’m pretty easy to spot! I have short, red hair. I’ll probably either be wearing or carrying a black leather jacket, too. 🙂

So just ask for the Cecil Adams Fanclub, right? 🙂

Edit: Everyone remembered the time change, right? As I’m typing this post, it’s just after **5pm** , not 4pm!

I had a great time! I was the one at the end in the white striped shirt and jeans.

I remember you, **dalej42**! I had a fantastic time, everyone. Thanks for making me feel so welcome! And a special thank you to \*\*Zyada \*\* for putting it all together, for giving me a ride, and for the care package. I haven’t had that much fun with a bunch of “strangers” in years! 🙂

It was good to meet **TroubleAgain** and the others I didn’t know, and to see those I have met before. Great fun!
