[QUOTE=Interrobang!?] Right. The quiz I’m hosting tonight is a private event at the OP – wedding reception. It’s pretty interesting writing rounds about the bride and groom’s sexual histories. [/QUOTE] Both those rounds will be taken from his own personal experiences with the bride and groom. I predict a fight of Wedding Singer type proportions with someone getting strangled with a microphone wire. Which I would never want to miss! So I’m in for tonight! I say we crash! ---

Extra bonus fun: there’s an audio round. About the groom. And me. Scott has enticing thighs. ---

I will _probably_ be there tonight, but blah blah blah baby blah blah not sleeping blah blah. So, no promises. On the other hand, wedding crashing! Woot! ---

They hired you to bake the cake. You’d better be there. I’d hate to see you hand back $50,000. ---

Bump! Who’s in? Also, isn’t next week being hosted by someone we haven’t previously enjoyed? Should we start making alternate plans? Frex, we haven’t done Monday Kate’s in forever. Be nice to move off a Tuesday and make it possible for some of our occasional attendees to join us. ---

I’m in. And yes, next week is a bye week for us at the OP, given the host. (I suspect I’ll be in the awkward position of breaking it to him tonight that I won’t be there next week, because he’ll probably be asking for advice.) **stargazer** mentioned doing Mulleady’s again, which would be good – don’t we have a gift card there? I’d also be pro Kate’s or Irish Emigrant, all on Monday. Or we could do Thursday and give the All Star Pop Culture quiz at Jillian’s a whirl, though I realize pop culture is not necessarily our strong suit (at least in some areas). ---

I’m in tonight. As for next week, we do indeed have a gift card for Mulleady’s – I think it’s for $40. That’s my vote, partially because it’s so insanely convenient for me, and partially because they have really good food, in addition to a fun quiz. ---

I have to call myself a maybe. I really want to go, and I think I’ll be done here in plenty of time. However, I’m really tired and I’ve misjudged time factors on this project several times lately. So, I might be working late or decide to sleep instead of puzzling over questions. I’ll try to post an update when I’m more certain what will happen. ---

I’m in, unfashionably late as usual. ---

Late update: I’ll be there, but not early, obviously. ---

Tonight the SDMB team goes to [Mulleady’s Irish Pub](http://www.mulleadyspub.com/index.htm) in Magnolia. I’ll be there. Who else? Does this place get real busy? I can be there early if necessary to snag a table. ---

Last time we went, it was not exceptionally busy. And there were SeaGals in attendance, so if they didn’t bring the table-crunching crowds, I don’t know what would. I’ll be there. ---

Mmmm. Seagal memories…I’ll also be there. As I remember, the chairs we quite comfy. ---

And the food is good, too! I’ll be there, and I may bring the husband and the boy by to say hi, seeing as we live down the street. We have a gift card, too – I think it’s for $40. I have to go find it before tonight… ---

I’m in. Last time, I was at Mulleady’s really early, having learned from experience at G&D and OP that if you don’t have a table by 6pm you’re probably SOL. It was probably 7pm before anybody else showed up. Ah well, it was quiet and I got a lot of reading done. 🙂 So I’ll be there around 7. ---

Victory! Also, next week, I think our team name should be “[The Gratuitous Umlauts](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=463772).” ---

Being a fan of funky diacritical marks and punctuation, I like that name. Maybe next week you all could be “The Fighting Pilcrows” or “The Amazing Octothorpes.” “The Fantastic Ogoneks?” “Les Cédilles Incrediblés?” Anyhow, I’m in for trivia at the Old Pequliar tonight. And next week, I’m hosting.
