I’ll probably be there- most of my birthday celebrations have happened already! ---

In a normal year, this would be the last day of the month. But no! It’s penultimate. Pete and Jason are hosting, and they usually set a good quiz. The known round topic is Bearded Presidents. So I see that Interrobang!? and Cervaise are both out due to married life. I’m single, and I’m in, but you don’t have to be unattached to attend. Who else should I expect to see? ---

I’m single, but have a singing obligation tonight (band name? The Singing Obligations…maybe a barbershop quartet?), so I’m out. ---

**March 6** I’m in tonight, barring any complications that arise over the course of the day. (Come on, no complications!) Jason and Jen are hosting, and there’s a round on Japanese Monsters and one on Parasites, though if we’re lucky there won’t be one on Japanese Monster Parasites. (Gamera’s remora, anyone?) TONIGHT WE DINE IN HELL. Who’s with me? ---

I’m in, Smurfzilla. ---

> [@E.Thorp](#): > > (band name? The Singing Obligations…maybe a barbershop quartet?) Wasn’t there a movie… No, that was The Commitments. Close, though. I just got my evening’s work dropped on me, so I’m out. I’ve also got a meeting next week, so I’ll be out until the 20th. Best of luck, team. Break a frontal lobe, or whatever. ---

I ran into Ian M. on Sunday; he’s coming too and will likely join our team. Now we are four. ---

I’m planning to be there, too! If I get home from work early enough, I’ll even bring baked goods. 🙂 ---

I’m considering - is it filled up already? ---

You should come! We can always split into multiple teams, or some of the longstanding members can glom on to other teams. The more the merrier. ---

Good! I feel an urge to display some ignorance. ---

**March 13** Justin & Jonathan are hosting tonight, their second turn in the hosting chair. Requested round: **Amusement Parks**. Audio round hint: The Dubliners performing “Finnegans Wake.” I’ll probably be there, though likely after 7:30. Who else is in? ---

If you believe Facebook – and who doesn’t? – then **Cervaise** will be there. ---

**March 20** Sam is hosting, so you know it’ll be fun. Requested round, which we requested: **I’m Feeling Lucky**. Audio round hint: Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love.” And lamentably, I can’t make it tonight, due to being a spouse. Also I’m allergic to Sam. Be sure to tell him that. Anyone else going? ---

I’m coming for the first time this month, I think. So looking forward to it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-doper-trivia-2012-pub-of-shadows/608314.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/seattle-doper-trivia-2012-pub-of-shadows/608314.md?page=4)
