I can be there if others are going to show. ---

I’ll be there. I even read the wiki article on Nintendo. ---

I just flew in from California and reported to the office, so I’m going to rest my arms this evening (assuming I get home eventually). Next week… ---

**Cervaise** is out? Amateur. I’ll be there, because I’m hosting. Mwa ha has all around. ---

**Early bump for Sept. 14** I will not be there, as I’ll be attending Ignite Seattle instead. Carry on without me. ---

I, on the other hand, have never ignited anything in Seattle and am not about to start now, so I plan to be there. ---

I’m also out. Meeting of the InDesign Users Group. Have fun. ---

I’m planning to be there tonight, and I assume **Cervaise** is not (but I’m double-checking just in case). ---

**stargazer** , what time do you expect to arrive? I’ll try to get there a little earlier than I usually do, say 7:00, and hold a seat or two. ---

Mehal says this quiz “is one of the hardest we’ve written, and it’s on the academic side.” Also, rounds on Hot Lunch and Obscure Sports. My thoughts will be with you. Smurf on! ---

Jeez, I haven’t been on the academic side in years. The air is so stale over there. ---

**September 21** I’m out tonight, because it’s Simone’s birthday and we’re going out for dinner. Not to the pub. Jason is hosting tonight, but Kevin wrote the quiz – he’s out of town. Requested round: Pokemon. Or invertibrates. ---

Maybe this is invertebrate of me, but I’m wimping out and nursing what’s left of this cold instead. See you next week. ---

Happy birthday, Simone! I’ll drink a toast to you at the Old Pequliar tonight. 'Cause I’ll be there, attempting to answer trivia questions. ---

I’m probably out tonight - I’ve got a cold, too (thank you, preschool!), and a busy week. **Cervaise** is out as well. ---

I’m not sure I believe this cold, since tonight is the season premiere of Glee. But I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt. Feel better. I hope you get well soon as well, **E. Thorp**. ---

Tonight was a very pleasant surprise. I had the big table, out of habit, but knew I was probably alone for the night. A group asked if they could share the table. They were first-timers at the OP, and most had just met each other. They were a group from [meetup.com](http://meetup.com). They had nine people, and I asked to join in. We drew lots to divide ourselves into two teams. The other group came in 11th out of 15 teams. My half of the group won, much to our surprise. An excellent evening. ---

**September 28** I don’t know who’s hosting or what the special round is, but I do know that my attendance is uncertain. I’ve got a sick kid who’s in a major Mama phase, so it will depend on how the evening goes. I’ll text somebody when I have a better idea. \*\* Cervaise\*\* is still out, as well.
