**DocCathode** is in Florida at the moment, so it’s likely he won’t recieve your message for several more days. That said, it’s exceedingly likely I’ll be there.

This is sweet! Yes-definitely the 29th to give those coming from a distance the opportunity to be in attendance. **AntaresJB** -you can head straight down and meet up with **Airman Doors** and me at the Harrisburg west turnpike interchange. Glad you found the thread **quiltguy154** -haven’t seen you in a while. Spread the word, folks-I don’t want to be remiss by overlooking anyone. 😉

I’ll email **davidm** – hopefully with enough notice he’ll be able to make this one.

Just talked to the two non-doper members of our weekly gaming group, and they said they would likely come as well.

I’ve mentally misplaced her name :smack: **twickster** -the young lady who had dinner with you, **Scuba\_Ben, quiltguy154** and me a few months back in Lafayette Hill-please make sure she knows about the soiree.

**Pandora**.

I’m on it – but since she lives out in the Lehigh Valley somewhere, she may not be able to make it.

Thanks. I’ve also emailed **Cajun Man** asking for an edit of the OP to show the 29th. Don’t want someone to do a drive-by of the OP and opt out owing to the date being wrong.

Being that this is in January, not December, I think there’s a pretty good shot that two of the three Doorses can make it.

Such as what happened with Airman thinking that the dinner was in December.

Hey Robin – if you want to swing by my house first, we can watch Lawrence Welk together and then head over to the dinner… 😃

No, that’s a separate Fest.

Seriously… WelkFest at **twickster** ’s house!

Sure – I’ll even provide the bubbles – but it’s strictly BTYP (bring your own polyester).

Dammit, I fucked up my joke with a typo – that’s BYOP. Sigh.

I need to talk to my HR person if I get a chance tomorrow about arranging my schedule so I have the 29th off – if that comes to fruition I’ll almost definitely come, if someone will let me stay the night with them – 3 hours is do-able for a sleepover, but to go down and back in one night would be just evil.

I plan to be there. I think there’s a regional rail that runs through Bala Cynwood. I’ll probably take that and call Chili’s from there.

Septa R6 stops at Bala Cynwyd. Bala station is at City & Bala Avenues, and is a couple of blocks south of Chili’s on the Montgomery County side of City Ave.

Unfortunately the universe (okay, not the _whole_ universe, just whoever’s in charge of scheduling at my new job) has decided to make this difficult for me – I’m scheduled to work that Saturday, until 6 pm, so even if I left right after work and drove like a maniac I wouldn’t get there until 9 or so and I’d be exhausted. I’m currently trying to get someone to switch weeks with me, but I don’t know most of the people there so I’m having issues asking people… I’ll keep trying.

It’s two weeks from today, kids! If anyone’s status changes, please post here or send me an email-I’ll be making the final call with body count in another week.  
Thanky.
