Well, I came in to work today to find “active discussion” on whether I would be making this trip. Arguments were made by both sides, but in the end, I’m not going to be coming down after all. It’s too bad–I was very much looking forward to meeting y’all. Anyway, I’ll definitely keep a lookout for further gatherings in your neck of the woods, and I’ll be down eventually. ---

Ok, Olive Garden is in Cary Crossroads, right off HWY1/440 on Walnut street. Is there still interest in this, or have we all been bummed out now that the Ultrafest has dimmed to just a Raleighfest? ---

I don’t think I’ll be able to make it either. I just got back from break, and it turns out tomorrow’s going to be a really busy day for me. Put me down for the next one, as well. ---

**elelle** , I take it you are a member of the church of horizontal throbbin’ desire? Billy C. Wirtz is GAWD! Too bad he moved to Nashville. His shows are a riot. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/short-notice-dopefest-in-raleigh-nc/131880.md?page=1)
