I won’t be attending. I hate that, because there’s an excellent host tonight, so probably a good quiz. But work is all screwed up, so I’ve gotta stay here late.

Well, I’ll be there, and so will **Cervaise.**** Interrobang!?** is hosting.

I’ll probably be there, maybe even _on time!_

Or maybe not. If I get there late and the team is full, I’ll just socialize and snark, as per usual.

I’ll be there, but there’s a high possibility of lateness.

Who’s in tonight? _I’m in tonight._

Who’s in tonight? _I’m in tonight!_

You in tonight?

(Aaron’s hosting. Requested round from last week: “Aaron Sorkin, Joss Whedon, and David Lynch.”)

</div>

I’m in, but I’ll reserve any cheerleading for the evening hours.

I might be able to help a little bit with a couple of those genii of visual storytelling. But I make no promises.

</div>

I’ll be there, and I know a whole lot about _The West Wing_. Hope that helps us!

**Cervaise** will be there as well, but I don’t think he’s watched _The West Wing_.

**October 20**

I’m in.

Reminder: There’s a _Buffy_-themed round tonight. The requesting team specified “the TV show,” but Kevin does love his comics, so well-rounded Buffy nerddom may come in handy.

I’m a maybe, depending on the exhaustingness of the day. My knowledge of Buffy is limited to downloading pictures of Sarah Michelle Gellar.

</div>

I’ll be there, but I know next to nothing about Buffy. I’ll try to read the Wikipedia page, but I imagine it’s kind of… long.

</div>

I’m a maybe, as well. I’ve got to work a bit late, but there’s a possibility I will be freed up in time to go to trivia. We’ll see.

I’ve watched all of Buffy, many episodes more than once. I have not, unfortunately, read the comic.

I’m in.  
My Buffy knowledge stops with the TV show. I have vague memories of the movie and never even glanced at the comic.

Who’s in tonight? I’ll be there, and so will **Cervaise**.

Also, does anyone want some sourdough starter? I have too much!

I should force myself to stay at work and be a diligent little drone. But no, I’m going to trivia. See you all there.

Fourth Grade Science is **so** my category. I hope there are some extra credit questions!
