I’ll probably be there whether I want to or not. Something to do with living with the legend that is Esprix. (Of course, after the way my car is acting today, I’ll probably be stone broke as well. ☹ )

Perhaps I shall… I’ll still have to miss this one, but there are other weekends… Got a show coming up in April, student choreographies. 3/30 is the day we present our dances. I may yet do a solo… But I have a part in another choreography so I have to be there.

Mrs. Rico and I will be there 😃

She may have her arm in a sling from rotator cuff surgery, but we’re not missing this for anything! 😛

See you there!

Well, I want to go, but don’t think I can.

If I can go, I would have to go with Java and Bryan.

Any chance of you getting that on film to share? I would love to see that tight little body… I mean, I love to see poetry in motion and appreciate all nuances of dance. Yes, that’s what I mean. 😃

Took the words right out of my mouth. 🙂

So, what would you guys recommend? Any specials that are must-haves at Farrell’s?

I won’t be able to make it, but I will be putting my bunny ears in a safe and secure place 😃 .

Have a great time and I’m looking forward to hearing all about it!

Well, _my_ favorite is the _Parlour Tin Roof Sundae_, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, whipped cream, and spanish peanuts. Oh, and a cherry! Something about the salty peanuts and rich hot chocolatey goodness is very happy-making. Hm, I’m thinking I need to convince the boyfriend of the necessity, the absolute need to visit Farrell’s this weekend… 😃

JOhn.

Unfortunately I’m no longer able to attend. ☹  
My band just got boked to record that weekend and we can’t change the time. So I guess that’s a silver lining to this whole thing.

I’ll just have to catch the next one. I hope you guys have a good time; know that I was looking forward to meeting all of you.

Hey Esprix, I just noticed DeathLlama was listed as a maybe whereas I’m a definite…just so you know, he _is_ coming too! 🙂

Mind changing me & **JustPlainBryan** to definites?  
…and **Coldfire:** it’s been ages since I’ve been to a Farrell’s, but it’s all about the ice cream. You can’t go wrong with ice cream (although I betcha **Heloise** can probably make even better stuff at home 😉 )

Am I the only one in this thread that saw Coldfire post to this? Huh?? Jeeeeeze, you people.

What are you, Lisa Simpson? I’m afraid only I get to make the ‘who’s coming and who’s not’ list. (Well, ok, maybe **scout** , but only because the little rugrat posted this idea before I did.) You will be duly punished for your insubordination and forward thinking - and not in a good way.

A week to go! Woo hoo!
