Hurrah, alextiefling and I shall be looking forward to it. We may have to leave earlyish, mind you (not likely to be able to stay for midnight) but if you are starting at midday, that's good as will give us plenty of time to hang out with you. Would you be wanting us to bring anything? Snacks? Booze? Games?

If I am taking your 3 people to include ariiadne, then no, as she won't be back from the States yet, sadly. If it's to include another, there was a plan afoot to hang out with janieluk during the day, and possibly fluffymormegil, depending on who arrives when and what happens - will have to find out about that. I wouldn't bring anyone without approval, of course!
