Very cool -- Gary and I were *just* talking about how easily he fit into the group.

I've got a good memory...but not
that
good.

It'll be no problem for one of us to get you, though -- we actually live a bit closer to you now (near the mall). We'll work out a pick-up as the meet gets closer.

This would probably make me sad if I knew who you were.

had
a username on this site already![/edit]

I decree that you will still be able to make this work.

There will be no panicking.

Still fine.

Alright, Dirge and I sat down today and did a little planning and we've got a request: it'd be great if everyone who attends brings a
wrapped prize
. It doesn't have to be extravagant and, don't worry, it's not for a gift exchange. If you can bring more than one, that would be GREAT. If you can't bring one at all, don't worry about it but please do let me know.

I'm getting so excited! Less than three weeks away!

We did Skinny Improv during MeMeMeet and also went to McSalty's to hear the band.

The only "out of the house" thing we've planned this time is Lamberts for lunner (around 3 or 4 o'clock) on Saturday. The time is so short and we have
so much
fun just playing games that I hate to plan much more. Case in point: a day out playing "assassination" for Thespival was planned, but everyone just wanted to skip it when it came time...

We did have a great time at the Improv, even though Pooky and Quag fell asleep!

Woo-hoo!! Let us know flight details soon so we can schedule your pick up!
I kinda suck at wrapping, can i just use some cheap plastic bag?
Sure -- just make sure whatever's inside is obscured.

I've just been asked a question about the wrapped prize via PM and I thought it'd be good to clarify in the thread as well.

There is no minimum or maximum amount that should be spent on this thing. As I said, it's
not
a gift exchange, so you shouldn't worry about matching the quality of anyone else's offering!

Oh, you've nothing to fear, Twomz. We had to cut the "raping" portion of the meet this time since there was so little time to plan.

I've got the numbers of several hotels for you...

Actually, you'll be our first out-of-town arrivals (except Gnome who's been in town since Monday) -- if I'm wrong about that PLEASE give me a heads-up whoever's planning on being here earlier. Just roll on up, we (well
I
at least) will be waiting! And use the side door in the carport, we still haven't figured out how to open our front door. :?

Officially over. Pooky's been taken to the airport and house is way too empty. Must sleep now.
