**June 15**

Kevin’s hosting. There are two audio rounds, and one of them will probably be on movie musicals, since that was the requested round from last week.

I should be there, unless I fall asleep – one child had us up until about 2:30, the other got us up at about 6:10.

</div>

I’m in. My movie musical knowledge can’t be trusted–there are some that I’ve seen multiple times and loved, and many I’ve missed out on completely.

</div>

I’m planning to be there, and so is **Cervaise**! My movie musical knowledge is hit-or-miss, but **Cervaise** says that he’s a big fan - so that’s good.

I’m going to try to bring some baked goods, but I make no promises.

Dur, I forgot. I’m putting a reminder in my phone’s calendar for next week!

**June 22**

I’m a big giant question mark burning on the lawn for this evening – depends on how the day goes with our newest family member, since I was out last night and will be out tomorrow night. I probably won’t know until late in the day.

Either way, David & Emily host and the requested round topic is Paranormal Romances, which I’d be sorry to miss.

I _think_ I can manage it, if I get my butt in gear. How will I know who to accost? Don’t make me stand in the doorway and yell, “Where are the Dopers???” 😃

Aw, buggerit. Forgot my fraternal unit is bringing over his two sproggen this evening for me to corrupt further. Next week FOR SURE!

But don’t hold your breath or nothin’.

_poke-bump_ All right, I’m in for tomorrow night. Who else will be there, and how do I find y’all?

**June 29**

Hola, **MsChilePepper**. I know I’ll be there tonight.

The best way to find us: Ask the host where the Smurf team is sitting. If you’re there so early there’s no host, we’re often at the table that’s in front to your right as you come in the pub door – but it’s no guarantee. You can ask for James’ team; most of the regular players could point you in the right direction at that point.

I’d say I’d bring a Straight Dope book or something, but I don’t have one handy.

That Sporcle quiz did you in, eh?

Also of note for tonight: Pete & Jason are hosting, and the requested round is '80s music.

</div>

I’m in. I listened to some music in the '80s, though often just because I liked the video.

**MsChilePepper** , I’ll be there early to snag the table, and will attempt to get the long one by the window by the stage. I’ll be doing some crochet when I’m alone, but since I’ll be putting it away once someone else shows up I can talk to, I’ll leave the book I’m reading on the table until you arrive.

It’s _Heat Wave_ by Richard Castle. The cover is red and black with the author’s name in large white lettering.

**snerk** Saltire, do we need to set up a secret phrase and corresponding response?

“A man for all seasons …”

“Jesse bought a chicken!”

I’ll be wearing a white shirt with multi-colored flowers on it and carrying a large bag that is obnoxiously lime-green.

**July 6**

I plan to be there tonight, with my brother in tow. Anyone else in tonight? \*\* Interrobang!?\*\* is hosting, and there’s a pre-quiz question up [here](http://optrivia.tumblr.com/).

**Cervaise** will be there, too, but may be late.

I’ll be there.

I’m stumped by the pre-quiz question.

I’ll be there, and also can’t answer the pre-quiz stumper.
