Since the exalted day is now a mere two weeks away, I thought I’d slog thru the other [thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=49974) and condense it here.  
Sunday January 28th, 2 PM, my house.

Anyone who needs directions, e-mail me and I’ll send out a bulk email next week.

Here’s who we have so far:  
Me  
Zenster  
psycat  
Demo  
Doob  
Oldie  
Rasa  
zyzzva  
Slackergirl  
Danielinthewolvesden  
Sassy  
Pugluvr  
Obfusciatrist  
Purd Werfect  
Snooooopy  
Punoqllads  
WoodstockBirdyBird

Possibles:  
Baglady  
Pricciar  
Jack Batty and Mrs. Batty  
GaWd???

I have committed to making chili, vegetarian lasagna, some vegan dish yet to be determined, and a kick ass chocolate cake. Plus, I’ll have an assortment of beer and liquor on hand. Also thinking of doing a spinach dip in a bread bowl thingie.

**pugluvr** has offered Buffalo wings.

**slackergirl** has offered salad (don’t worry about dressings, I have a refrigerator full).

**psy and Demo** offered up a case :eek: of wine!

I put **Purd Werfect** in charge of assorted chips/dips.

**Zenster** mentioned something about semi-narcotic island skewers…

**Obfus** is bringing buttons, courtesy of **Baglady**.

I am putting **Sassy** in charge of the football pool, since she suggested it and I couldn’t even tell you what one is.

Please confirm your attendance and food offerings, just so I can make sure we have enough food and drink.

BTW, the nanny is taking ToddlerNym out for the day, so I’ll be free to get smashed.

Put me under “possible, but unlikely”. There are several things going on on the 28th and I might not be able to attend.

The schedule has been cleared and Mrs. Batty any I will definitely be attending. As for what we may or may not bring, I’ll have to leave that up to the cook in the family. She may even take requests.

Thanks a bunch, Sue!

Well, i’m willing to bet 100 to 1 that [Bradford Reed and His Amazing Pencilina](http://home.earthlink.net/~braf/Bradford.html) will **not** win the game!

And for my fellow dopers in the “Is the Superbowl the game where they hit the ball with the stick or the one where they try to throw it in that circle?” crowd… anyone wanna make commercial predictions? 😉

Super! Could you possibly do a couple strictly veggie ones since you’re at it? No bell peppers, cuz of zyzzva’s allergy (he can pick off anything else he doesn’t like). Please?

Yummy! Maybe you guys better start them a day in advance though. 😃

**woodstockbirdybird** How about some vanilla ice cream? I’m making a chocolate/chocolate chip cake with a warm chocolate sauce and it could use a little ice cream. A half gallon should be enough.

**Lawmill** , hope you can make it! It’ll be a rip roaring good time!

YAY!! The **Batty’s** are coming! I’m running out of ideas for things to bring. Tell her to make something fart or burp inducing and high in calories. Or some guacamole. I don’t know, be creative.

Ya, i’ll be there. I cant bring food, or bet anything cause i’m poor, with $109 dollars to my name.

I am bringing my book of writing systems cause scratchie was interested. Y’all can look at it too, but if any of you get sticky messy fingers on it, i’ll have to kill you.

No problem, **Sue**. Sure, you need ice cream for the _cake_, right? ::wink wink:: 😃

I dunno what to bring, either. Could go with Cheeseburger Macaroni. And those cinnamon rolls I made this past week turned out real well. If not, I can just bring some tequila.

You and **Snooooopy** (since we have a lot of tequila already) can be in charge of photos and the official “Dopefest Thread”. You guys are in charge of finding and figuring out how to make a free website with the digital photos you take.

Thanks **Zenster**! I know you’ll do you best, haven’t seen anything less from you.

**Slackergirl** Thanks! I’ll be here, with dressing!

No Hamburger Helper?!? What kind of party are you running here?

Hamburger Helper goes with the SuperBowl like peanut-butter goes with jelly, like Abbott goes with Costello, like Pee Wee Herman goes with masturbation.

Ah jeez, I guess we’ll still come. And guacamole sounds like a good bet.
