Yeah yeah yeah, I know! Fer cryin’ out loud, give a guy a break arreaddy!
I have a 12-pack reserved for Mrs. Dave-Guy already, and I plan to get more when I go and visit some Michigoon friends over Memorial Day weekend.
So just tell the little woman to simmer down.

“Michigoon”?
Do you mean “that bevy of northern hotties who are at my beck and call because I bring them delicious snack food”? Or “that remarkably wonderful group of northern folk who love and respect me for my grace, wit, and charm…but plying them with delicious snack food has actually been successful in convincing them that I am, in reality, gracious, witty, and charming”?

I think by “Michigoon” he means, “Those nutbars up north.”
Just my take on things.
And **Robin** , I will be pleased and honored to have **Airman Doors** attend. We’ll toast his return, we will.

Me!! _sob_
Although that’s still dependent on whether or not I’ve gotten a job between now and then. If I have, I may be busy moving. If I haven’t–I’ll be there. All I have to do is figure out what food to bring.
Got an interview tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Dave, this is quite an event you’ve cooked up. I’m so excited–I’ll get to see so many of my LJ friends: you, sal, amber, tristam, canby, manny, billdo1 and even spit, plus dopers, old and new.
I’m close enough to make it back for brunch-woot!
Do you have a pool table?

**Morgyn** , here’s luck on your interview. But then, if you’re interview is a success, you won’t be at RibFest. So should I wish you _don’t_ get the job so you’ll be able to attend my li’l suburban shindig?
I am corn-fused.
**tkeana** , no, _Casa Dave-Guy_ is bereft of a pool table. I do have a nice backgammon board, though, and I’ll willingly take on all comers who wish to play me in backgammon.
And I’m glad you’re coming back for brunch. Heck, it’s only 40 minutes driving. Ain’t no big thang. Let’s hear it for hot, fresh bagels, kids!

**SueDuhnym** : I didn’t see your offer, there! I can come into Manhattan via the LIRR, then if necessary I can cab it to various locations within Manhattan.
How does that sound to you?
My e-mail’s in my profile, so you can just e-mail me if you wish - and thanks, **Zappo** , but I’m not out Philly way. 🙂

I should note at this point, that anyone who shows up at this shindig will be able, in person, to see the glory that is …

**Gingy** , that would be so incredibly cool. Bring your son, too. _Casa Dave-Guy_ is definitely child-friendly. Does he like GameBoy[sup]TM[/sup]?

I still don’t know if **Cosmopolitan** is a definite, but she’s looking more defined as time goes on. Keep me posted, Cosmo.
_ **IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!** _
I am making the cut-off date Sunday, June 1. I have to get a definite count so I can order the ribs, and I believe two weeks should be more than sufficient lead time for my rib pimp. Changes will be announced in future updates. Still, if you haven’t committed by then, it’ll be too late, I’m afraid. (Well, maybe not, but you’ll get a lot of dirty looks)

I gotta connect with **Sue Duhnym** , is the thing. I haven’t got a way to get in touch with her, so I asked earlier in the thread if she’d e-mail me, but that hasn’t happened as yet. I suspect that she simply missed my “e-mail me” post.
If you, **DAVE0071** , or another Doper can let her know that I’m looking to get in touch with her, that’d be cool.

I’m a little late on this but after **TP** told me about it I _have_ to be sure not to miss it. I’ll figure out a side dish in the days to come and let y’all know.

You’re not too late. It’s not even the end of April yet.
You’re in, **Meros**. Number in your party? Need directions from the GSP?

“Hi, my name is Pete and I’m a loser.”
Alas, I’ve been outvoted and the birthday party has been scheduled for the 14th. No ribs for me.

Bummer, **Why A Duck**. Happy birthday to the Duckling anyway. Any li’l kid that cute deserves a happy birthday even though it prevents her daddy from eating a mess o’ ribs.
