[Lilug Planning] About Getting Eric

[odinson]

Hey Chris

 	Actually strangely, I knew exactly who you were.  You know I'm 
terrible with names, so that was smart.  :)  I wasn't as worried about 
taking Eric home as getting him here since I'll be at work and would have 
to take a day off for the inbound trip.  I can't be a fallback for that.

 	I am OK with taking him home, but it's not going to be a party for 
the other LILUGers.  I have to go to work the next morning.  10:30 at the 
latest, we leave and drive him straight home.  Then I turn around and go 
straight home to Bayside.  If it's really a 3 hour round trip, That should 
put me home at 2 am, which is good enough to function at work in the 
morning.

 	That means his talk needs to end at 10:00pm sharp so I can pack 
up.  We'll need to be in the car at 10:30.

 	I'd like it if you came but you would need to follow me to 
Bayside, and park your truck there.  It will be too late to drive you back 
to Farmingdale and would tack on another hour and a half round trip to my 
night.

 	If you can't that's OK.  I'll survive the trip.  I'll just pound 
back some coffee and crank the metal on the way home.

 	Let me know if that is OK with you guys.

Thanks

Matt
