I know this is late notice, but it turns out I’m not in – I’m sick and definitely not up for it. Sorry, **inky**! I hope you do fine without me.

</div>

So, what are the trivia plans this week? I’m available tonight, if we do Kate’s, but I’m out tomorrow and next Monday and Tuesday.

And I’m feeling better, so I won’t ditch anyone tonight!

</div>

I didn’t even check the thread yesterday. Sorry.

As much as I’ve missed doing trivia and had looked forward to tonight as a night when work wouldn’t keep me from trivia, I don’t think I’ll go tonight. I had enough trouble getting home yesterday at 5pm that today at 10pm seems very chancy.

I can be there. If i can make it to Bellevue in the sub zero, icy world. But, if no one else is going, I will stay home.

Oh, and I was footballing last night, or else I totally would have loved to have gone to the Immigrant or kates. Word.

</div>

I won’t be there, even in my “hey, we know one of the guys adding up scores” capacity – duty with the wee one.

However, next week I’m hosting again. I don’t know if I can come up with a round as up your alley as last week’s “fictional scientists” picture round, but maybe you’ll get lucky.

Are we doing Trivia tonight, or will I be my brother’s laptop keeper only? I think there’s more money in playing.

I will, of course, be there, running the show solo.

Bring your brains.

I’m out, got a church council meeting. It’s about budgets, so you better believe I’d rather be trivia-ing…

I’m 99% likely to be there. If I’m not, it’s because I’m in Gitmo.

And **inky** , did you see [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=398691)?

We came in second, only 7 points behind Husker Don’t. We enjoyed ourselves, and made a little scratch.

Trivia tonight? I’m game.

In fact, I shall use the trip to Ballard to drop by Archie McPhee for a gag gift or two. Mu-ha-ha-ha.

I’m planning on it – got cookies for you all, too!

I might get there early-ish (7:15?) to save us a table.

I won’t be there tonight. I’m going to New York next week and I’m buried with preparation an’ stuff. Also, the week following has Tuesday on the day after Xmas; is the Pequliar doing anything that night?

[/QUOTE]  
The earlier the better. It’s been hella crowded lately. Even the Husker Don’t cats wound up crammed into a small corner table last week (which has something to do with the fact that I showed up before 7:00 and swiped their regular spot, heh heh heh).

I’ll be going, but I don’t know if I’m scorekeeping or playing. If playing, I’m out for 4 rounds since I wrote two and saw two more. It’s a family thang.

We discussed this last Tuesday – anyone up for playing Kate’s in Wallingford tonight? Electricity, a quiz we’ve won twice, and a decent menu – who’s in?
