Keen, now I have to go.

Unfortunately, the Batmini is still being serviced, and I'll have to attend in an EB-MCSa.

Good thing you're taken. Apparently you haven't been keeping up on the threads about me wanting a man with an EB S

I was smart enough to stay out almost all night, and got about 3 hours of sleep... so i'm going home early tonight to sleep, so i can definitely make it tomorrow. 5 Hours of driving for a 2.5 hour event. Sigh.

*i can't wait to meet everyone Well, everyone i haven't met already

Considering the special occasion, we could always do something afterwards? Harry Potter maybe?

Uhhhh... No, I've not. Well the EB-MCSa is a temporary disorder which will hopefully be remedied soon, unlike your desire for a... Nevermind, don't want to offend any male EB owners.

Hey, a fan! Yeah, those deathstars were a b**ch. Didn't know whether to mention who it was. The new disc is decent, but I'd be lying if I said we weren't going for the nostalgia. Caught Broadcast/Gravenhurst/Tralala @ the Cat last Saturday... openers were great, Broadcast, not so much. Still, I go to the Cat at least biweekly.

Vimes, don't you park at the Odenton MARC lot? What train do you take in the am/pm?

not making any promises, but i might be there. Its getting harder to wake up in the mornings if I dont have to go into work. Id rather sleep in. Holiday hours, UGH!!!
But I havent been to a breakfast in a while, It will be nice to see everyone.... and meet some new faces, such as the infamous shortbus....And looking forward to hearing about James and Marina's trip.

Just got home a few minutes ago... it was nice formally meeting everyone, since most of the people i met before i never really talked to I uploaded all the really good pictures (i'll try not to embarrass anybody with the really candid shots) and i'll try and convince my friend to let me use his laptop tonight to post them.... since i'm already super late to my family function, but the house was a mess, and i needed to charge the camera.

It was well worth driving half the day to attend.. i might even come to more DCMM events if you guys let me
