if luck wills and time says OK, will you grill tuna? Will you have grills? Time is tough for me, Iā€™d like to come and if I do I may have a hundred (or 2) pounds of never frozen, fresh caught tuna(yellowfin). Rod and reel caught mind you. No factory boat stuff, the reel deel. ---

Weā€™re nowhere south of it. Hey, after all those drives I did to SoVa (which IS south of DC, damnit), can you blame me for directing someone to go south to get somewhere in the general DC vicinity that isnā€™t in Maryland?šŸ˜ƒ [sub]Mmm, talkative redheadsā€¦[/sub] ---

I think you should grill tuna _salad_. It would be much more entertaining, and I hear grilled mayonnaise is a delicacy in some countries. Barring anything weird, Dominic and I will be attending. Rob is always an ā€˜ifā€™ at these things. I can bring my own vegetarian noshings if it looks like they will be slim. Weā€™ll try to find something fun to leave behind while weā€™re there. ---

Feel free to bring the tuna. You can grill it up all you want. ---

Sudden advice needed! My kid sister has asked if a band she knows can also play the party. Theyā€™re called ā€˜Disco Stuā€™ and try to play punk versions of songs from the Simpsons. [http://discostuband.tripod.com/](http://discostuband.tripod.com/) Shall I say yea or nay? ---

Disco Stu opening for Mary Pranksterā€¦nothing about the website screams yea or nay to me (which I guess is a good thing, though when it comes to figuring out a band from their website Iā€™m not the person to ask). My only (worthwhile) comment is this: punk can be loud. It can also be obnoxious. Or it can be done well. I might, if I were you, want to listen to a song or two theyā€™ve done. If they sound like they replace quality with being loud, that might be a good indication of their musical abilities. ---

Well, Iā€™ve got some mp3ā€™s. And theyā€™ve committed to playing acoustic. They donā€™t lack for confidence, Iā€™ll give them that. ---

Well, the band member wearing a Descendents T-shirt earned 5 points in their favor. Hawking something titled the ā€œSlut-tacular Chick Shirt,ā€ however, was a minus 15 points. ---

Ooh, how did I miss this? Can I come? Thatā€™s the week after my brotherā€™s wedding and I definitely think I will need to unwind at that point. A Dopefest might be just the thing! Ava ---

Shoot an email to Lou - he can get you the skinny on the band. Iā€™ve never heard of them, nor has the hapless jock I just cornered to askā€¦but then, heā€™s a jazz guy, so I guess it stands to reason. If you need his email, let me know. Anna ---
