Well, it is looking like two. I’ll be getting there a little after 7. We will not have good seating, I’m afraid.

</div>

I’ll be at the Emigrant tonight. I won’t be able to check the thread today, but I’ll take a look before heading off for trivia this evening.

Next week, Tuesday is open again so it’ll be a triumphant return to the G&D.

I’m in tonight also, and not able to do Tuesday. See ya there.

Weeeellll, I guess I’m in as well. See you all there in a couple of hours.

In case any of the people who weren’t at the Irish Emigrant last night are planning to come to the George & Dragon tonight: **Interobang!?** , his brother, **Cervaise** , **Aguecheek** , his wife, and myself are not planning on being there.

However, I’m sort of free, so if you did want to do it, I could change my mind and show up. You’ll just need to post before about 2pm to inform me.

</div>

Not planning to be there tonight.

I also checked out the [Celtic Bayou](http://www.celticbayou.com) website, that Irish-Cajun restaurant over here on the Eastside that supposedly does trivia on Tuesdays. Nothing on the site, though, so not sure what the deal is.

</div>

Early bump. **Aguecheek** , on his way out the door, asked me to relay that he looked into the Celtic Bayou and discovered they do indeed have quiz night on Mondays, beginning around 8 or 8:30.

I won’t be there (Silent Movie Monday at the Paramount! A Buster Keaton double-feature!), but maybe you will be. If so, quiz wisely.

</div>

I had something planned for tonight, but it can be moved to tomorrow if people want to give Celtic Bayou a shot. Otherwise I’m okay with G&D tomorrow as usual and trying CB next week. What say the peeps?

</div>

I just discovered this thread. It sounds like the contests are a lot of fun. I can’t do it this week, and the Eastside won’t work for me, but I should be able to do it next week if you meet somewhere in Seattle. I’ll look for updates.

Cool, we’ll have to arrange some sort of identificatory thingie so you can find us.

Sounds like nobody’s interested tonight. G&D tomorrow it is then.

</div>

I’m very open to trying the Bagpiper’s Swamp or whatever that place is called, but I’ll need more than a day’s notice. I can’t post from work, or I’d have let people know once I saw the thread-bump email. Perhaps in a couple of weeks?

At any rate, I’m in for the G&D tomorrow night.

I believe I’ll be there tonight. Not really sure when I’ll show up, but most likely around 7.

Bump for afternoon browsers. I’ll try to be there by 6:30 to get a good table.

</div>

I am not in tonight, as I’ve still got rehearsal. **Lady Cheek** has decided to have a quiet night in, as she’s had a busy few days. I talked to **E. Thorp** this morning, who mentioned he would not be able to make it either.

Good luck!

</div>

What’s this? No bump yet?

I guess I’ll be available. See you all there. It doesn’t seem like deck weather is a sure thing, so I’ll attempt to arrive around 6:30ish to help secure a good table.

**marque elf** , are you in tonight? I’ll put a sign on the table so you can find us. I haven’t decided what to put on the sign yet, but whatever it is will make it clear who we are.

</div>

I’m in. I’ve got payroll so I may not show until close to 8:00, but unless it goes horribly wrong I’ll be there.

Got a note from **?!** that he and his bro are planning to attend also.

Weather report this morning was vague. It may be comfortably outsideable by this evening, or it may not. We shall see; thanks, **Salty** , for trying to be the early bird for us.

I’m not in, as I’m at rehearsal still. Next week will be the last one, so I should be good after that. **Lady Cheek** it seems, will not be attending either.

Good luck, see you in two weeks!

Just posting so all know that I won’t be doing trivia tomorrow. KCTS is teaming with KOMO to do a hurricane telethon, and I’ve volunteered to help out.

</div>

I can be there, if anyone else is planning on going. Otherwise, I’ll plan on next week unless outside events keep me away.
