Don’t know if anyone’s going to read this, but I’ve decided not to show. Good luck.

**June 1**

I’m planning to be there tonight. **Cervaise** is still out, and our own **Interrobang!?** is hosting. Anyone else?

Aren’t you guys probably merging with the attending segments of Steve Holt?

</div>

Yes, that was our plan. Since our numbers are small (so far), it may just work!

I was planning on showing, but how many Steve Holts are they expecting?

</div>

If **amarinth** comes we’ll number 5 altogether, I think. In the unlikely event we get to 7, I’ll volunteer not to play (ulterior motive of leaving a bit early since I won’t have my car).

**June 8**

Quiz tonight! I’m probably in, unless I fall asleep in my chair at work today.

Reminder: The player-requested round topic this week is British TV. I believe we’ve got several experts on the team, though I’m not one of them.

Although I’m no expert on British TV, I’m in.

</div>

I might be stopping by late to drop off some books I borrowed from my niece. Participation in trivia optional.

</div>

I’m planning to be there. If the questions involve _Are You Being Served?_, the BBC version of _Pride & Prejudice_, or _Poirot_, we’re in good shape. Otherwise, I won’t be of much use.

</div>

I’ll be there. I’m not super-expert, but I think I know more about Brit TV than the average Joe. Of course, there are a lot of above-average Joes at the OP.

First thoughts for team name: Red Smurf. Are You Being Smurfed? Smurf on Mars.

</div>

Is there room for a new player? Not tonight, but possibly in the coming weeks. I know lots of esoteric, pointless factoids, and can usually surprise myself by pulling something straight outta thin air.

**MsChilePepper** , we always welcome new people! Let us know when you plan to show, and we’ll let you know how to find us.

We love newbies, **MsChilePepper** , and there’s always some way to make an extra player work.

Seattle’s toughest trivia quiz needs all the brains it can get.

Whee! I’ll pencil it into my jam-packed (not really) social calendar!
