A start time would be good to know. Someone’s mentioned 6:30 or 7-ish, but there’s been no official word on the when to arrive yet.
Does Chili’s do reservations? Because if we’re showing up at dinnertime, we can count on a long wait for table space otherwise.
Official time is set for 6PM. When I originally called them, they indicated no problem so long as I give them a heads up several days in advance with count.
I may be late, so I want to clarify a few things.
Nobody sings the song until I get there.
We will sing the song.
It’s important that not everybody pick the same part. We need middle voices on ‘I want my babyback, babyback, babyback’ sopranos on ‘Chili’s babyback ribs’ and basses on ‘barbecue sauce’
Well, I found one person who was willing to switch schedules with me, but unfortunately that other person’s schedule conflicts with another thing I have to do that week which involves me performing at an open mic night with a friend of mine, so that switching will not work. So it looks like I’ll have to miss this one, guys. 
Have fun anyways.

Advise of any changes, peoples! 
Still in, yes.
Intaglio will very likely be there with me.
I think I’m bringing three people (InDisGuize and my friend M, for those who came to the Moroccan dinner – plus M’s new girlfriend) – but will confirm that in the next few days.
Oh, BTW, had lunch with Pandora a few days ago – she’s doing great and says hi to everyone, but won’t be able to attend this dinner.
Nametags? I vote for geeky nametags with screenname and real name. I can bring those embarassing self-adhesive things and a Sharpie[TM] OR, is this going to be Algonquin Round Table type-of-stuff. You know, just so we can confuse and astound our fellow diners.
We’re probably in for this.
Coolness!
BTW-if any of the out of town folks have direction questions, by all means ask.

6PM Chilis-175 East City Avenue, Bala Cynwyd, PA
I’ll be calling the restaurant on Wednesday with our final attendance number.
Looking forward to seeing all of you then. 
Me three! In Florida, but I’ll be there in spirit.
Well, I just checked Airman’s work schedule, and I’m pretty sure he’s off Saturday night. Assuming Gramma and Grampa are OK with taking Aaron, we’re on.
Robin
They’ve set aside a small area of the restaurant just for us, or perhaps to protect the rest of the dining public from us. 
Anyone who wants my cell phone number should email. Drive safe y’all-see you Saturday.
I assume we should ask for the Cecil Adams party?
Looking forward to seeing y’all!
No. You have to know my name or you don’t get in. 
Just kidding!
You have to perform the secret handshake, though.
As long as it doesn’t involve calamari.
A secret handshake that doesn’t involve calamari? Infidel!
