[QUOTE=BMalion] I’m up for, _at minimun_, the sausages for Sunday’s omlettes. Oh, and of course some fookin’ Newcastle mate. [/QUOTE] At first this confused me. But, knowing Brian, he’s bringing the above. I’ll try to bring some good nibbles. Too bad it’s not Winter, or I’d make up some Jambalaya. I make some great stuff. I’m also modest. 😛 ---

Let me know if you want to attend. We have no problem picking you up. Yeah, thanks for the offer, but that’s precisely the problem, that I’d have to depend on someone else if I wanted to leave for some reason. Kinda too bad because I only have about three weeks left in scenic Michigan. ---

Do you keep him in a cage? Do you tell your underlings to: Pick it up, _pick it UP._ ---

I told him you were coming, too. ☹ Won’t your male tarantula have some gender-identity issues with a name like Carol? In any event, please give her, I mean him, my apologies. And send me a picture of **BMalion** holding him! ---

Ok. I don’t necessarily need RSVPs or anything, but does anybody need directions or contact info? I started PMing that stuff to people who said they were coming, but I don’t think I got to everyone. ---
