What’s the plan for this week? I’m probably out, but if I manage to make it I would be there right at 8 or later.

Maybe next week. Definitely not this week. (Finals!)

</div>

Anyone in tonight? I’m on the fence, only because I’ve got other stuff I could do, so if consensus is leaning away, I’ll run with the time.

Or I can be there.

If it helps you decide, Kevin (the host) says: “I’m hosting tomorrow and like my last post says, there will be a “Mermaids, Flip Flops and Ships” round chosen by last week’s 4th place team. You also should make sure you’ve got your designated Nerd-pro with you as there will be a round about a certain couple of film franchises that have “Star” in the title.”

(I believe the Mermaids thing is a SNL reference.)

I’m planning to be there, as is **Cervaise**. And I’m hoping to bring homemade graham crackers, too.

I’ll probably be there. The SNL bit in question is [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxSis2J8QSA) (NSFW), I think.

</div>

I’m going to try to attend, but my success will depend on how much I can get done in the next couple hours. Don’t count on me until I walk through the door.

EARLY BUMP FOR THIS WEEK

I can’t be there tomorrow night, but if people would like to try a Wednesday (or Thursday, if such a thing exists) quiz, I’m up for it.

</div>

I’m also a no-show for Tuesday. But I fear that will extend through the end of the week, so no new venue adventure for me.

I can still play tonight, but not Wednesday. If there’s a Thursday venue, that’s possible for me.

The calendar says that Annyong (annyong!) is hosting tonight.

I’d like to compete. Anyone else?

I plan on it. (And apparently I need to remember my audio cable.)

Those lime cupcakes were awfully tasty.

Well, the way my day is shaping up, cupcakes are looking less likely. They’re not out of the question yet, but it’s going to be harder to find the time to make them.

Just so you all know not to expect them…
