If Ramsey and I throw a party in Philly on April 24th...would you come?

[LynneSin]

:shrug:

It'll probably be something that starts in the early evening at Doobies and we'll just order food from the menu.

Please, let someone be there other than Ramsey and I.

Please

Pretty Please

Sugar on top

and a cherry!!

A fresh cherry I just picked from a tree

[soleft]

1. That's Barbra Streisand's birthday!!!!!!

Oh, and my sister's

[Kenneth ken]

48. Shirley Maclaine is your sister?

Warren we never knew it was you!

:hi:

[tishaLA]

66. Every year I celebrate BarbraElla day

To honor Streisand's birthday on the 24th and Ella Fitzgerald's on the 25th. I play bad Barbra--like "The Main Event" theme--and great Ella, which is redundant anyhow.

Lynne, if I still lived in Philly, I'd be there. But live in L.A. precludes my presence.

[Dogmudgeon]

2. Yep

Unless somebody else in my family gets horribly ill or dies.

Pencil me in.

--bkl
With a nice, crisp Number 2.

[Pale Blue Dot]

3. I'll be there

and this year I promise Finn souvenir CDs for everyone who attends! (Don't worry, Lynne - maybe people will come anyway).

[The Sausage of Death]

4. I'm scheduled for a haircut that day

Sorry

[Pale Blue Dot]

5. So sorry to hear that, Sausage.

We've been so tight. :eyes:

[LynneSin]

7. wow, that's some head of hair

if it's scheduled for the entire day.

Your loss

(more of Finnfan for me to love)

[Pale Blue Dot]

8. I DEMAND the opportunity to engage in SpongeBob-related conversations

with you again this year! :bounce:

[LynneSin]

9. I'll bring my talking SpongeBob and Patrick dolls

:D

Oddly enough the words these 2 dolls say seem to make more sense than the Ann Coulter Talking Doll

:shrug:

Go figure

[skypilot]

6. I have said in previous threads...

...regarding meeting at Doobies, that I would be interested since I live about five minutes from there Please PM me with info. If I hadn't noticed this thread I wouldn't have known that you'd picked a specific day in April. The last time I saw a thread about this it simply said "sometime in April". If anything changes please let me know. I really don't want to miss this.

[DS1]

12. Doobies?

[LynneSin]

13. Yes Doobies

That's the name of the bar - not that party souvenirs we're handing out

:shrug:

But we'd love for you to come anyways!!

[Bertha Venation]

10. Hmmm.... Possibly.

If Abbie will be there. ;)

Will discuss w/ Mrs. V. April in Philly.... free stay at a suites hotel.... Liberty Bell.... maybe a Phillies game....

Hmmmm! :7

[LynneSin]

11. Abbie will be in Wilmington DE

But you could stop by and visit him since I live right off of 95 and you can stop in and visit

[Bertha Venation]

15. Hmmmm!

Will check in later.

[GOPisEvil]

14. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmaybe!

:D

If I can arrange the time off from work!

[LynneSin]

28. You better be there...or have your boss call me

and I'll give him a piece of my mind

[GOPisEvil]

29. I don't think he minds necessarily...BUT...

...since the consolidation, he might not actually be my boss by then. :scared: I like him, too. I hope he can stay!

[LynneSin]

30. well, we'll get you here somehow

or I'll just cry

:cry:

[GOPisEvil]

34. I think if I tell him I need to make travel plans...he'd approve my leave.

:-)

[ET Awful]

16. Maybe. . . .

My birthday is the 21st, and I've never been to Philly :).

Can I bring Quinn? :)

[Pale Blue Dot]

17. ET Awful, if you're going to come...

I have to know what your name means, to know whether I need to bring my boxing gloves. ;-)

[ET Awful]

19. LOL . . it's very simple really . . .

ET Awful comes from my old on-line video gaming days. I used the name Eric the Awful (from an old cheezy Ray Stevens song since my name is Eric, and I REALLY sucked at the game I was playing at the time). The name got abbreviated, and I've used it in one form or another ever since (ET Awful or ETA being the most common versions I use).

[Bertha Venation]

21. Do you look like Jerry Garcia?

;)

[ET Awful]

44. Not even close :)

I just think very highly of him :).

[Bertha Venation]

47. Evidently.

Mrs. V. likes him very much, too. In fact, I have to get her some more from the store tomorrow.

Oops... that's Cherry Garcia. :P

[ET Awful]

57. LOL. . . Mmmmm good stuff. n/t

[Pale Blue Dot]

22. OK, as long as you're not dissing the movie "ET".

I think we'll be OK. :-)

[Bertha Venation]

18. If you bring Quinn, Mrs. V. and I will be there!

No question!!

[ET Awful]

20. It's a hell of a trip from Boston. . . .

But it might make for a nifty little vacation. I haven't had one of those in a while.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

35. Philly's not that far from Boston!

I love Quinn, BTW, ET Awful. Where are you in Boston?

[ET Awful]

43. I'm actually in Somerville,. . .

right on the Somerville/Cambridge border near Cambridge Hospital.

[LynneSin]

24. What are we going to do with a bunch of cats in a bar?

seriously

:shrug:

[Pale Blue Dot]

26. CAT FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

:evilgrin:

[LynneSin]

27. My Abbie would kick cat ass!!

:D

He's 13lbs of pure muscle

Even I don't mess with him when he tries to tussle with me

[ET Awful]

45. But Quinn would just wear him out . . .

He'd keep him running until he was tired, then pounce when he collapsed :).

[ohiosmith]

23. Are you providing transportation?

[LynneSin]

25. Not from Ohio

:cry:

sorry

[ohiosmith]

31. Good, cause I'm in Las Vegas. What time will you pick me up?

[LynneSin]

33. Depends on what time your flight gets into Philly Airport

:D

[ohiosmith]

36. How about a lift from the LV airport?

[judge_smales]

32. Yes. I will.

Can I bring my wife?

[LynneSin]

39. sure

:D

[short bus president]

37. Will Ramsey wear "THE SHOES???"

:9

[LynneSin]

38. You're an engaged man

wear your own shoes or look at Dolo's

[GOPisEvil]

41. To hell with the shoes. If you're REALLY lucky, she'll cook breakfast!

:9

[Ramsey]

59. Speaking of that...

Want to crash with me for a few days while you're here??

[GOPisEvil]

60. Works for me!

I appreciate that a lot! Although, maybe I can have you and Lynne fight over me. :evilgrin:

[Ramsey]

58. I will if you come!

I have some better shoes though.

:evilgrin:

[LynneSin]

65. You're being a bad girl again aren't you???

:P

[nostamj]

40. i've never been to philly....

how's the job market there? :crazy:

(let's see where my life condition is going. a definite 'maybe')

[tom_paine]

42. Unless an emergency comes up...count me in!

(unfortunately, a personal emergency kept me away from the first Philly DU gathering and I missed hearing about the second)

Third time's a charm!

<crosses fingers>

[bubblesby2002]

46. I would love to join the party

but I think it's a little too far for me. Ive always wanted to see Philadelphia, apparently I visited once with my mom, but don't remember cuz I was just a baby. But if I could make it, my cats will come too.

ps Love the name Doobies - sounds like a good place to me.

[Bertha Venation]

49. Bad news. Mrs. V. and I can't be there.

That's the weekend of the March for Women's Lives. We have to be there.

I'm sorry we'll have to miss this one, LynneSin. We'll still let Philly DUers know when we make our trip.

[GOPisEvil]

50. Lynne's going to the march, too.

That is why she picked the date. The 24th is Saturday. The 25th is Sunday. If I go, I'm riding the Delaware bus down to the march! :-)

Edit - calendar stupid

[Bertha Venation]

52. It's still a problem, because

we have a free weekend at a suites hotel, and that's why we'll be driving up. Want to spend the whole weekend in Philly. It only takes us an hour to get to DC from home (on a weekend, that is).

:(

But hey! We should pick a spot at the march to meet!

My god, I just realized something: are the march organizers crazy? That's in the middle of Cherry Blossoms!!

[GOPisEvil]

53. Ahhh...I'm sure there will be a DU meetup attempt...

:-)

[Pale Blue Dot]

51. I have a feeling that for Ramsey and LynneSin,

This date could be negotiable. Especially for that cause. I'm not speaking for them, of course.

Just as long as they don't make it May 15th!

[Mrs. Venation]

54. Bertha and I Have A Guest Room

If anyone wants to attend the march but cannot afford lodging. PM either of us and let us know. First come, first served.

Mrs. V.

[LynneSin]

55. We'll definately meetup in DC

and we'll figure something out. I really did plan it so that some of us could go to the march the next day.

We'll hook up one way or another and this date isn't in stone yet. But it can't be the next weekend cause that's the Emily's List Luncheon.

[Bertha Venation]

56. Grrrreat!

:7

[DiverDave]

61. I would like to go.

However, I dont like downtown much.
Parking costs are a bummer.
But I still plan on going.

[LynneSin]

62. It's worth the parking

trust me on that one!!!

Plus you could take the train into Philly. Hopefully it'll be a nice day and the place is about 8 blocks from Suburban.

[MrBenchley]

63. You bet...

and I'll bring my pretty wife, too....

[LynneSin]

64. You can't come if you don't bring your wife

it's an order

:D

[MrSlayer]

67. Where is Doobies?

I've lived here over 30 years and never heard of it.

[molly]

68. I'm always scheduled to work on Saturday

maybe after work?

[ScreamingMeemie]

69. I would love to but it's very far away for me.

:( I'll be there in spirit.
