Is St Louis in the Mountain or Central timezone?

(I always like to have a clock set to my destination time on a plane so I know when to go to sleep to get myself in some sort of sync.)

NOTICE: THE WEEKEND OF May 13/14 - Cutoff Date

We will be removing all remaining maybes from the list and not accepting further people for the cookout on or about May 13/14; this is so that I can get an idea of how much food to buy, what to plan for, etcetera.

If you don't know if you're coming by that time, you really should, since the cookout would only be two weeks away. If you have a reason why you might not know one way or another by then, let me know in this forum.

Faub - I think your wife is still a maybe; I know roughly the situation there and won't pull her off the list until you know for sure if she can come or not.

Rock - If we haven't gotten your tickets by then you'll still remain a maybe since there is money being actively raised for you to come by the comicgenesis community.

You should also know for sure by then if you are crashing or getting a hotel room; that way we can try to plan out where to house you all. :)

Also, I might have scored 20 free tickets to a comedy club for the 1st/2nd of June (free means getting in is free but you have to buy two drinks - soda counts so no biggie for the underage).

Thanks all!

She and I, hours apart and at different locations, selected not only the same image but almost the same piece of the image, for our avatars.

It won't be that way for long - McDuffies is giving beth a panty avatar, and he said I could probably hold off on changing mine since Beth'd be changing hers. :P

I am still a definite, but I won't know for another week or two exactly what time I will be arriving. I was going to wait until I got my tickets to book my hotel room, but that might be pushing it a bit, so I will probably book them within the next few days. So if any girl(s) need to share a room, or already have a room they would be willing to share, PM me please.

(Also: Comedy club = HURRAY)

Bring a light jacket and some t-shirts. Maybe shorts if you like them.

With nobody telling us squat, we'll know on about the date of the cookout whether she'll be there. :-?

80's (farenheight), with moderate humidity. We could get a high or low spike of course, but that's about the average for early June.

You need no comedy club! I am hilarious in person!
I'll take that stage by storm as only a true Canadian can...with maple syrup.
