Springfield, IL Dopefest - Please CHECK IN

Heh. Like how I just said you were coming, Tygre? Whee!

We’re still deciding, tygre - I’m so tempted to go to D’arcy’s but two nights in a row might be a bit much for the novices. heh. Maybe Xochimilco! Mmmmm!

Also, as it gets closer to Spffld, I may be away from my computer more. This means that the best way to reach me is either to call my cell phone number or e-mail me which will get shot over to my phone. To reach me via e-mail to my phone:

Tiburon@alumni.nd.edu

Please still copy my aol addy of TibsTanglewood@aol.com

That way I’ll be sure to get back to you ASAP. Also, if there is a number where you want me to call, just lemme know.

Speaking of…I have a growing cell phone number list. So far, I have Yojimboguy, Porcupine, UncleBeer, Katsu and myself on the list. Anyone else want on and anyone else need a number? Please let me know if you’d rather I not distribute it, as well.

Tibs.

Hi all.

As a Springfield resident who, due to Other Commitments this weekend, will not be able to join y’all for the festivities, I just figured I’d chime in to say “Welcome” and “Have a great time” to everyone coming in for Spffld. Maybe I’ll get a chance to drive by and wave. :cool:

Xochimilico! Yes!!! And their frozen margaritas, yum. Which one – the one by the mall? There’s one on the north side somewheres now as well.

Yeah, you did just “volunteer” me for Friday night. Oh well, hubby can deal without me for then. :wink: Heh, heh.

This is gonna be so fun. :slight_smile:

I’m thinking I probably won’t be there. Just for the record.

The one by the mall, Tygre. It’s about 2 blocks from my place. heh. Too easy to get carryout!

Tibs.

Please post some more details about Friday night and specifics about Saturday when you have them lined up. I’m busy most of Friday evening, but might be able to sneak out for a while.

Oh come on, ir’s Springfield! We’ll get some stuff to tide us over at the Qwiky Mart, and have our fill of Duff at Moe’s!

Thanks, Tibs, for letting me live the fantasy. :smiley:

So are we just meeting up at the hotel Friday night, then going to dinner from there?

Details - I need DETAILS, dammit!

:smiley:

I am placing my fate in Tibs’ hands. Slightly terrifying, but oddly freeing.

OK, for any late planners or people kinda thinking maybe, should I take my chances at Spiffled, I have a small block of rooms at the Holiday Inn Express (outside downtown) for 55.00/nite (includes breakfast)

There may be a hang out room there for an A2A game maybe?? (I’m waiting for an e-mail response)

And, if after Friday I have any Amarula left, I’ll bring it with so you can sample the souvenir I brought back from vacation with me. That will make looking at pictures a little more bearable. :slight_smile:

Okee doke. Here’s the plans, Stans.

Friday, I’m going to pick up Katsu around 6 at the train station. Then I’ll drop him off at the hotel to get settled. Then Porcupine and UncleBeer will come in and give me a ring. Then I will swing on by, if I’m not still there bugging Katsu, and we’ll give a yell to Tygre and gang to let them know we’re going to dinner. We’ll sup and then goof off and hit a few bars, perhaps.

Saturday, chillin with the gang at my place or going out. Then early dinner at D’arcy’s, pick up Gundy and gang and then out for more fun. Some may go shooting and others may end up at my place for fun and general silliness.

Sunday morning, I may have to plan a big huge breakfast at my place. Whee!

Tibs.

Shooting? Is anyone planning on doing this? I need to know whether to bring bullets or beer.

Yay! Big huge breakfasts! I like food!

I won’t be able to pick up Katsu because I have a late meeting tomorrow but will be done in time, come hell or high water, to meet for dinner. I’ll give you all a ring as soon as I am done.

Tibs.

I thought pool, we’d be shooting pool, you can’t dothat with bullets, can you? Beer for sure, but bullets?

I’m almost ready! I’m almost ready! I’m almost ready!

Yeah, I’m looking forward to this.

I’m hoping to leave by 3:30 at the very latest, so I should get there by about 7.

And Tibs, a late meeting on a Friday afternoon? What kind of sadists do you work for?

Good luck and godspeed porcupine We’ll see ya tomorrow early afternoonish!

Safe travels and have fun getting out of the city!!

Porcupine: nuclear scientists.

Tygre, I need your phone number so we can call you when we head to Xochimilco. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

A hearty handshake to Miss Tibby for making the arrangements…Peter really likes you, especially when you pinch him in his special area. Make the hot chocolate and reminisce about that waitress in Mexico City while reclining dreamily on the divan.

It was lovely meeting alla y’all! Emails will be sent out forthwith to Jane D’oh (whose pictures were incredible) and porcupine. Always a treat to see yojimboguy. Dyno, it was a pleasure slapping you around at darts, and Akatsukami, it was a pleasure getting slapped around at Trivial Pursuit. If there were only an all-Simpsons and Vladimir Guerrero version…David B, tygre, Dr Matrix, Cajun Man, Uncle Beer (who I don’t believe I said a word to), great meeting alla y’all!
