Matt, I would like to see you, not sure if we can do Magic Castle just because my introvert hubby sometimes needs a quieter space.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.
I'll be around Thursday night through Sunday night, no specific schedule other than the Friday night dinner so I'm sure we could meet up for something less crowd-y.
Smonster and Nora! Just got approved for a conference in N'awlins Oct 12-14. I'm thinking of coming in early, since I always have PTO to burn at the end of year. Are you around?
Right now it looks like I am! Will email shortly.
OK! Here's Liese's upcoming travel plans!
Colorado: I'll be there Sept 27th-Oct 4th, with actual time on the 2nd-4th.
Cinci: Can the rest of y'all reschedule for November 9th so I can come see Teppy's improv? I mean, Teppy's improv can *be* the schedule, if you like. Also, does anyone have/know of a place I could crash that night?
Nashville: Looks like I will arrive October 20th and be in town off and on through Nov 9th. I'll head up to Indy for part of that time to catch the SO's gig and hang with his family, and then he'll join me in Nashville for part of the time, so if y'all want to meet him, we could schedule for the latter part of the trip, maybe something in the first week of November?
LA: I won't make it for Thanksgiving, but I should be there for NAMM (Anaheim, January 18th-22nd), Santa Barbara sometime in February, and ASCAP (Hollywood, April 12th-16th).
Kristen and Drew, I made the reservation for Friday Nov. 4 at 9:45 (the only seating available). Given the late hour we might want to show up a couple of hours earlier and see if we can get into the stage show for the 8pm seating; or not, if you guys are more inclined to night owlishness—either way is fine by me. There are supposed to be smaller acts going on throughout the evening.
Here's what the Magic Castle sent me regarding dress code:
EVENING DRESS CODE
Gentlemen must wear a coat and tie, dress pants and dress shoes.
Women may to choose to wear a dress or blouse and skirt. A pant suit is acceptable as long as it is accompanied with a blazer.
Military dress (no fatigues), ethnic, and/or religious attire is welcome.
Unacceptable Attire for Evening Visits
No denim, zippered jackets, polo shirts, T-shirts, shorts, sandals, flip flops, sneakers, leggings (unless worn with a skirt or dress), capri or cut-off pants, or skorts.
Matt, were you able to make the reservation including us, or do we need to reach out to our contacts? We will definitely be there early. We have a friend visiting from out of state; any chance we can include her? Regardless, we'd prefer earlier to later. I'm on my school hours.
Let us know what we owe you. Yay!
Sure, I actually made the reservation for 4 in case someone else wanted to join in after the fact so we have a spare seat for her. Nothing owed so far as I know, I think we each pay a $30 cover at the door. The club opens at 5pm, so we can go however much earlier you guys would like and plan on getting all the show viewing done before eating.
Thanks to the gentle reminder (aka cluesticking from an anonymous friend), it has been pointed out that I should tell people when I am in town.
