Hey, **Cervaise** – weren’t you going to start a thread about your show, and how we should all come see it and heckle you? Did I miss the thread, or did that discussion occur at trivia one of these nights I wasn’t there? Are we going to try to get a group together to see it?

Yeah, I was wondering about that too! I know the hubby and I don’t participate in the quiz thing (sorry, it’s a bit of drive, during the evening, from Puyallup to Seattle), but we are interested in the play. Having met **Cervaise** last May, it would be cool to go to the play and see him there, along with the rest of you that we met at Swampfest.

Yep. Doing it today, in fact.

(I wanted to wait until after last night’s preview, the first time with an audience, to make sure people actually laughed and stuff. Don’t want to invite anyone to a show that sucks.)

(Kidding. ;))

I know it may be silly to ask, but is there any interest in trivia tonight?

**Cervaise** , don’t forget a link in here, 'K?

Trivia is a no-go for me tonight. Next week is a good bet, though.

I know it’s a little late, but is anyone up for trivia tonight at the IE? I can’t make it tomorrow; it’s my birthday and I’m going out to dinner with the fam. 🙂

\<hijack\>

In case you were wondering why I never come to trivia nights–and you were, weren’t you? Go ahead, admit it–it’s because I have a standing conflict with them. However, if any of ya’ll would be interested in getting together this Wednesday, I’m planning to go to the [Grand Illusion Cinema](http://www.grandillusioncinema.org/) to see the 9 p.m. showing of “Ruggles of Red Gap”; they say that it’s the only existing film print of this movie. If you’re available, I’d love to have you join me.

Sorry, **Hunter Hawk** , but I’m not available for the movie. Maybe some of the others.

I am, however, interested in doing trivia tonight. Anyone else?

I’m out tonight. If you get people who aren’t on the email list, would you talk about availability to go see **Cervaise** ’s show this weekend (hopefully Friday)? I’ll poll the email folk. I don’t want to exclude people who aren’t doing the email thing.

We’re in. Coming from Redmond, so I’m not sure what time we’ll be there.

Shit, sorry guys, forgot it was Tuesday. Not a good day, anyway, just got some news from home that’s keeping my mind occupied - the doctors found a lump during my mom’s regular checkup. I’ll be my mother’s support from 3000 miles away for the next little while, so I don’t honestly know when I’ll be able to come back. Hopefully not too long.

Of course, it could be nothing at all, but until she gets in for her follow up tests, well, it’s stressful. I foresee a very high phone bill in my future.

Anyway, I’m babbling, just telling you guys this so you know I’m not avoiding you. I had a lot of fun, and I hope to come back soon. There’s still people I haven’t met yet, and I’d like to see the people I did meet again, despite my social awkwardness. So if you were _hoping_ you’d scared me away - sorry. You failed. 😛

Speaking as one of the people you haven’t met yet, I hope you’re back in action soon and all is well with your mom.

Don’t worry about it. When we decide to shun you, you’ll know it. 😉

So, should we consider doing the Irish Emmigrant tonight, just for a change? I know **stargazer** and **inkysplotchy** are often in favor of it.

I am eternally flexible, able to do Monday or Tuesday trivia. I’ll go with the group, but I thought an early bump o’ the thread would be in order, just to start the discussion.

By the way, apropos of nothing, it just occurred to me that the title of this thread should have been “eclectic boogaloo.”

Anyway. Carry on.
