Uhm, possibly. Dunno. Sunday afternoon we're scheduled for an attempt at getting-the-Zmayhem-family-strands-to-bond-and-blend which will involve a passel of kids and the encouragement of much young-boy roughhousing and baseball playing. By eveningtime, we may all be dead from the bonding. I'd like to say a tentative yes for me, but with the option of no-ing out if it turns out that I'm too fried to move and Hec's too fried to function solo (I'm pretty sure right now, without even checking, that Emmett would be bored and cranky at the idea of a night out with a bunch of grown-ups).
Tangentially, I finally finished R&RNF and have some nitpicky little line-edity type notes (which you may not be interested in at all -- I tend to think of them as nitpicky in the monkey-grooming, smoothing and tidying and prettifying sense, but I know that's frequently not what you're looking for), mostly about dropped connector words here and there, and one medical question, and lots of WOW. DAMN. HOW SOON CAN I GET IT IN HARDCOVER?

Heh. You do know there's a second book, yes.....?
Nitpicky at this stage? Is fine. It's only during the WIP period that I find them counterproductive; if the big picture isn't together by the time I've sent this or any book off to my agent, I shouldn't be writing books.
So as it's coming together, typos or missed words are useful but not the focus. Nitpicky for the sake of nitpicky ("shouldn't you specify what density of coal in that description?") = Deb/crossbow. But at this stage? Everything becomes useful.
I'll tentative you for Angelino, then, and you can see how you feel come Sunday. And let me know if you'd like WMGGW, which picks up just a couple of weeks after first one ends.
When it comes to Last Call and Off Fifth?
I am Borg-food. Resistance is totally futile.
You have to wait until Friday to pee?
Dude. Harsh.
(laughing like a drain)
Have cleaned (oven range, range hood, taken down and washed and dried and rehung all curtains, washed windows I could reach, cleaned all ny copper pots). There will be massive prep to be done later.
Perkins - you around? I mentioned Serenity Friday and DH got mad that I'd consider going without him, so I might have to drag him along.
Deb - are we cool with me giving Aimee and entourage a lift to your place and then you tour from there? If that conflicts with your plans, just holler, no hard feelings.

Works for me. I was just boinging into the thread to see if I should buy tickets. I count 6 (Beverly, Nicole, SailAweigh, you, DH, and me). Am I missing anyone?
