Just try not to do it on Easter weekend (Apr. 22-23), OK? I’m still mad that I missed the only Highlander convention ever held in California because the twits held it on Easter weekend.

Arnold, were you serious about paying for everything?
We could do it on March 26, although that is a Sunday. That’s Oscar night. We could cheer for the deserving winners, rag on the undeserving winners, and trash the terrible and/or ridiculous celebrity fashions.

I’m pretty sure Arnold was serious, Jab. I can’t imagine him weasling out of it on the pretence that his offer was an April Fools prank.
How about just flying us all to Paris for the next one, Arnold?
I think the best way to figure out a date will be to do the voting thing like last time. It worked out well, and it lets everyone get their say in before hand. So, let me offer the dates.
March 25
March 26
April 8
Aprl 9
April 15
April 16
April 29
April 30
We seem to agree on the spot for next time, so we just have to vote on the date. Y for yes, N for no, M for maybe. We can come up with a date that is good for everyone.
I hope this post doesn’t make me seem pushy. Its just that this method worked so well last time, I figured it could be just as effective for our next gettogether.

PS:
I was just fitted for my new suit. You should see me, more than one person has confused me for a sheepherder. What address should I send the bill to, Jacques?

Sorry, jab1, my offer was only good for April first. You might have to make another trip to the vault and pull out some more of your gold reserves. If we go to the pier, I will treat you to a hot dog though.
Ursa Major had an excellent suggestion. But flying is such an impersonal way of travel. I would suggest instead getting everyone in my car (if 14 students can fit in a VW bug, then we should be able to cram 20 dopers in my Toyota) and we can drive to Venice and see the canals! Plus we’ll get to know each other a lot better that way.
Or I can give you a taste of Switzerland by bringing some cheese and chocolate. practicing my yodelling skills and playing the spoons.
pricciar, I’ll be checking my calendar and voting on some dates. As far as the suit, my recommendation is that you tell the shoppe owner that you’re Bonnie Prince William, and since filthy lucre cannot cross the royal palm, they will have to send the bill to Buckingham Palace.

I did indeed, Melin, but it was all platonic, really, it was.

March 26 or April 29, by preference – but I’m flexible.

The Oscar party sounds terrific. I’m always up for mocking the wealthy and beautiful 
To do that we’d kind of have to meet at someone’s house, wouldn’t we? Or would the restaurant have it on, ya think? I live right near Santa Monica, but my 1/2 bungalow may be a bit small for fifteen rowdy dopers, and anyway, I have a mean cat =^…^=
Otherwise, pretty much any Saturday in April will do. A “tax day is over” gathering might also be good.

The Oscar idea was mine, but it makes me wish I had a place big enough for everyone. (Sorry!)
The L. A. Marathon is Sunday. I’m gonna station myself somewhere along the route and wave at the Channel 13 cameras as the runners go by. Wish I could hold up a big “Straight Dope” or “Cecil Adams Knows All!” sign!
Check www.upn13.com and www.lamarathon.com for info. There is a map of the route in three different formats on the Marathon website. (You need Adobe Acrobat for one of the maps.) The race begins at 8:45AM at Figueroa & 5th in Downtown and ends near the West Entrance of the Central Library. I have no real excuse for missing it!
When all else fails, ask Cecil.
I’ll be out of town this weekend and the one before that.
As far as I know right now, I’m free all these days.
