Ok, heard from Tristan, (my son for those that don’t know that) and he has asked me to bump this up, and to let him know of a head count for the 10th of May…so here it is… ---

This is a shameless bump, although some questions need to be answered. 🙂 OK folks…time for a head count, I will be there, and I know Tristan will, so is anyone else gonna make it?? Really hopin’ to meet you all on Saturday. Kat ---

I sent Herr **Lightning** an email and haven’t heard squat. So I’m posting here to try and yank **Lightning** ’s chain. Lemme know whud-da-hey’s happening. I’ll be there on the 10[sup]th[/sup]. ---

Boy, May 10 creeped up fast, didn’t it? I almost forgot. ---

So at this point, our count is 4? Myself, **Kat Lady, Snoooopy, Zenster, and (possibly) White Lightning.** Cool. Unless they have a great band or something that night, we won’t even need reservations. Looking forward to seeing folks, and meeting folks, and all that good stuff. ---

It looks like **WL** has a bridge tournament on the 10[sup]th[/sup]. In Sacramento, no less. That is, if I’m attributing the proper emails to this guy. ---

If the emails I’m getting are from **WL** , then he’s just indicated he’ll join us on Saturday. We shall see. ---

Wow, I’ll actually have to go to a gas station for the first time in, like, a month. ---

Ok, now that I’ve gotten the confusing emails all sorted out; **punoqllads** has been forced to cancel and sends everyone his regards. **White Lightning** has finally read through his email queue and gotten back to me with an affirmative. See you all tomorrow. ---

I let Tristan know earlier that I can’t make it. Have fun! ---

It would have been nice to have attended a mini-Dope, but, unfortunately, I have stuff to do involving school, and, therefore, can’t come. Nice offer, anyway. ---

Sooo… **Tristan** , **Kat Lady** , and a sprinkling of BADs. Y’all should have just come down here! I think **Zenster** is on top of things. I’ll definitely be coming up with him tomorrow. Funny, I have no idea how I managed to miss this thread so many times, I guess I just check the MPSIMS front page at the wrong time of day or something. At any rate. Looking forward to it. Is anybody going to be bringing any hot girls? I could use a few of those. ---

The first one seems to have pulled up lame, so let’s try that [map](http://mapsonus.switchboard.com/bin/maps-maponly/usr=~3eaac168.55e94.55c7.5/c=5/refsrc=SB.twp/formName=setclickpost) link again. I’ll also let this serve as a shameless bump for any Sacto / BADs that might have an open slot in their Saturday evening tonight. ---

Since few of us know what anyone else looks like, I’ll be wearing a black leather vest and black Stetson Fedora. ---

Yeah what’s the procedure for meeting up at the F & G? We’ll all be there in the vicinity of 6:30p, but how do we know who’s who? **Z** and I will arrive together, we both know what **Snoop** looks like, but the BAD contingent should have some way to recognize the **Tristafam** and vice versa. Usually you can spot the big group but that won’t work in this case. Put the table under ‘the Adams party’? Wear a white rose? Any good ideas? ---

Drachillix and Cyn will be there we have meet snooooooopy. So hopefully it isnt too big of a place to find everyone. You could just make a reservation under straight dope group ---

and so I read this 3 hours before the event! I hope it wouldn’t be intruding if I come! Harmonix - a student at UCD. ---

FYI folks…live band and cover charge tonight probably not a good time to suggest a change of venue but its going to be mighty hard to meet talk, chat etc with a band in the house. ---

And what a great band it was! A bass player and a drummer … no guitarist, keyboardist, horn player or anything. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sacramento-mini-dope/154548.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sacramento-mini-dope/154548.md?page=5)
