I’m in for tonight. I can do Jillian’s next week, though – but of course I’m hosting on Tuesday, so if you’re going to pick one next week, you know what to do. ---

Oooh, that’s mean! I dunno if I can stick T. with the baby two nights while I’m out playing… ---

I’m in. Sorry for the late post, but I wasn’t really sure I was available until just now. Perhaps we should think about Jillian’s on the 12th? ---

I’m planning on OP trivia. The weather is perfect for it. Anyone else? ---

I’m planning to be there. ---

I’ll be there, possibly for the last time in a month. Ins nationals time, and I can only take so many sighs and eye rolls from my coach. Yes, he motivates by passive-aggressive behavior. It’s very weird. Team name possibilities: “R Kelly’s Little Man Defense” or “R Kelly’s Missing Mole” ---

Since I’m out of commission for the film festival, your host gave me a preview of tonight’s visual rounds. I’m not going to spoil the surprise, but I will suggest you familiarize yourself with Central American foreign ministers and the tread patterns on the soles of athletic shoes. Oh, and ;). ---

The Little Man Defense. It worked about as well as the real thing… Well, actually, we took 4th or 5th, so we did a’ight. Funny how my answer of ‘Adidas’ was not accepted for the movie poster for “Mad Hot Ballroom”… ---

They could’ve used you for the documentary poster round. And somehow they avoided guessing that _Tiger Beat_ was _Scientific American_. My love/hate relationship with the geography round continues apace. Last night’s was too hard. ---

Are we considering this week to risk our self-esteem at Jillian’s? I just thought we should discuss it today, so we can know what we’re doing tomorrow. Unfortunately, I’ve got a feeling I’ll be out for Tuesday, and maybe Thursday as well. Some work stuff must get done before my vacation starts at the end of the week. But I might be able to spare the time, so nothing’s definite. ---

Well, I’m definitely out for either Tuesday or Thursday, but if people wanted to do a Monday sometime, I’d be in for that. ---

I can definitely do Tuesday, but probably not Thursday this week (it depends on how some other plans firm up, though, so I might be able to after all). I could do tonight, though, if we decide soon. ---

I can go tonight or Thursday, but if it’s going to be just a couple of us we could take a bye week. ---

I’m definitely out all week. I could see how this might plunge you into such despair that you can’t bear to go out among the happy trivia people. I’m planning on next week, though. ---

Dude, until you’ve been gone as long as, say, **Aguecheek** , there’s nothing to celebrate when you return. It’s just expected behavior. ---

I for one, miss someone blinding themselves repeatedly with a flashlight. **Aguecheek** never did _that._ ---

Awesome. Remind me to bring the hundred-thou candlepower torch I picked up at Camping World last month. ---

[/QUOTE] What if you’ve been gone as long as me? The school year is over, my course is complete, and I still crave beer every Tuesday. Tomorrow at the OP as usual?
