No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

OK, Thursday sounds like it's best?

Calli, do you want to carpool over there and pick up meara? I can drive. (Yay!) I can meet at The Compound by 5:15-5:30. Is that do-able for you? And then we can head Hyatt-ward.

I think, with rush-hour traffic, getting to the hotel, and then getting to Mez, we should probably plan on a 6:30-ish meet-up time for dinner. Can you make that, amych?

Hmm. Thursday would have to be early for me--I have the exam from the week of training (the exam literally goes all day long) on Friday--if I don't pass it, I could be let go! So I want a good night's sleep!

Is 6:30 too late? I think that's the earliest we could get out there and get to a restaurant, post-work, pretty much any night, from Chapel Hill. I mean, maybe 6:00, but I'm just allowing for traffic and maybe having to wait for a table, etc.

That should be OK--as long as we don't have too much fun chatting or decide to watch TV or something! It's been known to happen. :)

Well, I can promise to resist TV, but I can't promise about the chatting!

I'll be happy to carpool, Amy. Meara, I turn into a pumpkin by 9 most weeknights, so much as I'd enjoy staying up until all hours talking to you and the localistas, it's unlikely. I've never been to the Mez--sounds nifty!

My co-worker who works at Mez has made us a reservation for four at 6:15, under my last name.

meara, Calli and I will pick you up around 6:00. I have your number.

See you all tomorrow!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Rawk! I'm still working on transportation, but I will be there!

Yay, sounds fun!!

In case you are keeping a nose count of people who said they might come, alas, I'll be at the start of a 53-mile, one-week backpacking trip in Washington at that time. I'm sorry to miss it, too. I used to live in the Hollywood Hills and those are some of my former stomping grounds. It would've been fun.
