We’ll try for that so we can hopefully make it to meet **msrobyn** on the 27th. ---

Norfolk is a day trip so I can take care of some business. I’m going down, signing some paperwork, having lunch with ChiefScott, and coming back to DC. If the 27th doesn’t work, I’m open for the rest of the weekend. I’m planning to leave DC April 2nd (so I can go to Spiffled). Robin ---

On a sad note, I’m not able to make Spiffled. ☹ There’s been a new wrench thrown into my plans in Texas (thanks, **robgruver** ) and I need to get to Texas. (That and my mother basically made it clear I am to be home in time for Passover. Damn those Jewish mothers! ;j ) Robin ---

OK… it’s a little over a week to go. I am probably leaving DC after lunch March 30. This puts me into Tennessee that night or March 31, Arkansas April 1, and Dallas on April 1 or 2. I will also be going through Philadelphia en route to DC. Robin ---

Where in Tennessee does that put you on the 31st? ---

Hmmm, let’s see if we can put something together here in Dallas. Looking at another thread called [Free trip to Dallas - now what?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=63894), it seems that **Quadzilla** is going to end up here that same weekend. It may be hard to coordinate this if you aren’t sure what day you’ll be here, but we can probably come up with something. Jim ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by evilbeth \* > \*\*Where in Tennessee does that put you on the 31st? \*\* I’m taking I-40, which goes through Knoxville, Nashville, and Memphis. What I’ve done in the past is timed it so I spend the night in Virginia, then start fresh in TN in the morning, because this stretch is the longest single part. IOW, I should be in Knoxville sometime right before lunchtime. An April Fools’ Dopefest sounds like fun, actually. I can bring my widdle brudder. I’m sure he’ll have a good time. Robin ---

Just before lunch on Saturday the 31st, hmm? Still wanna meet for lunch or something? I can be in Knoxville within two hours. ---

Yeah, that would work. I just can’t do lunch, and ESPECIALLY not that week, which (hopefully) is the last week this damn system will be in testing… ---
