You Betcha! Didn’t think I’d suggest it then back out? NEVER! I’m glad you bumped this thread Uncle B. I was consitering it, but felt silly actually doing it. Go figgure. BTW How am I going to know you **Bella**? I mean I already know Beer will be in chicken and snorkle.😛 I’m thinking of calling ahead and getting a table, so at least the servers can get a hint as to where to seat us together. I smoke so we’ll be in the smoking section unless you really have a problem with it. Really either way is fine. I’m looking soooooo forward to meeting you all! ---

You can try calling ahead if ya want. I’m gonna e-mail both of ya my cell phone number, too. If that’s okay. I see you, Telcontar, have yours hidden. I can get it, of course, using my Superpowers, but I wouldn’t be that presumptuous. Either let me know if that’s okay via this thread, or send me an e-mail with an address to which I may respond. ---

**UncleB** You can mail me [TelcontarStorm@yahoo.com](mailto:TelcontarStorm@yahoo.com). Why not _be_ presumptoious? Ain’t it yer (I want to say god, but it’s just Unka Cecil) given right? 😛 I wouldn’t mind it, as it is board related and someone else seems to trust you enough;) Oh, I’ll be the one donned up in Painters whites (white pants, white T, flannel shirt, jacket, complete with paint) as _still_ will have to work a few hours before lunch and am coming straight from the job site. my Boss will be dropping me off so I hope I’m not too late. And **Bella** we have some newborn stuff here at the house that Virginia has outgrown.(including a few diapers) If you want it, give me a lift home, It’s going to be painless as I live on the East Side. Babies are soooo cool! See you then! ---

God, I rule at planning. I totally didn’t see this thread at all, and I brilliantly planned a Dopefest for the previous day. If any of y’all in Toledo or environs want to come up to Ann Arbor tomorrow night, we’re going to be having a wee, but fun, Dopefest at the wonderful Blue Nile restaurant. [link.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=167502) P.S. **Telcontar** , love the username. I’d bow down to your geekiness, but truly, I must be an equally big geek for getting it. ---

How long you guys gonna be there? I plan to drive to Columbus, OH that morning… might not make it back by 2. Mmm, Tony Packo’s. ---

Crap, I didn’t catch the “NWO/SEM” thing as being about this area! But up until today I thought my husband would be working Saturday, anyway. Now I’ve got plans for Saturday p.m. Cripes, it’s especially maddening to know belladonna is this close and I’ll miss meeting her. I’ve been enjoying your posts a lot of late, girl. But since you’re so close, perhaps we can meet another time? We could take the kiddies to the Toledo zoo and I could point and laugh at your pregnant self and stuff. ---

Wait, Lunch? Lunch might be doable! Really! Maybe! Kyla, you up for it? I might have to go by way of Monroe and drop my chickadee off at a friends’ house. Woo-hoo! ---

Hey **Kyla** , if you and **Cranky** drive down, be sure to call **UncleBeer** “Mr. Porcupine.” He likes that. 😃 ---

Woo Hoo!!! More for the party. **Kayla** Thank you on the compliment. I love it when someone actually understands the reference.And thanks to **Quad the Magician** (a geekiness to bow to) I neither am any closer. **Cranky** I’va liked you posts in the past and can say I’ll be looking forward to meeting you, for sure. **Hello Again** I hope you all can make it. Push the petal to the metal and hopefully there will be a smooth road on 23(or is that 28?) no Flying Tires in your path, and of course _NO MORE SNOW_ **UncleB** I got your mail just fine. Hopefully we won’t need to use it. I think meeting at the bar sounds like a winner. We’ll pick a table from there. See ya 'morry! ---

I’m really looking forward to this! So **Cranky** and **Kyla** , what’s the verdict? Will you be gracing us with your fabulous presences? (is that even a word?) And **Cranky** , you’d better believe I’d be all over a trip to the zoo! Even if it will include much pointing at and mocking of my monster-truck sized belly. Maybe we could have a “wee-dope” with anyone else interested in bringing their offspring along. Lord knows it’s a treat to get social opportunities that don’t involve tracking down a babysitter. 🙂 See you all (hopefully) tomorrow! ---

Cranky and I will be there! So **Telcontar** , you have til tomorrow to get my name right. 🙂 ---

**Kyla** I stand among the cluless. And awaiting the head smack I’m going to recieve,. Because I have the felling I should know. **Cranky and Bella** I’m up for a trip to the zoo. I’ll see if I can get Little Tel to come along. Of course she is 17, but she is awsome with kids. Maybe we’ll get lucky and bribe her to let us adults get away.Remember, residents of Toledo get into the zoo free before noon on a Monday. The weather report does not look promicing for your trip **Hello Again**. Apparently you’re going to run into a bit of a mess once you get south of Lucas county. But the temprature is _downright balmy_\*(meaning it is above freezing) Those wet roads are going to be fun. Oh, Boss got benovelent and gave me the day off. So I’ll be in Jeans, a T and a flannel.I’ll be in the bar sipping on a cola, perhaps with my face stuck in a book titled “Cowboy Feng’s Space Bar and Grill.” I’m ashivver with anticipation.(or is it cold in here?)
