Who's going? That's right, me!

Come to think of it, this was more of a boast than a request for information.

This will apparently be quite the hoot and the nanny, too.

Gary will be there, and his moustache!

The *entire* Dumbrella crew will be in one place.

Tynic will be there.

I will be there, both days.

I'm so friggin' tempted to shave the damn thing off just to spite you. If my wife didn't like it so much*, I'd do it.
   


   

* Yes, yes, we'll just take it as given that Zamphir adds a rude joke here.

Hooray! Now, who's going to be the token person sober enough to operate the A/V equipment to record this momentous event?

It's really a catch-22, isn't it?

If you shave it off, not only is your wife unhappy, but I win.

If you don't shave it off, I can continue to use it to annoy you.

Well, since all three of you are going to be there in journalistic capacity, you'd all better stay sober.

HAHAHA

I'm hoping to launch secret project X-23 just before then, so get your reporter's notebooks warmed up.

I will actually also be there, as long as the other four horsemen of the apocalypse (especially GBH) fail to intervene. I will be there, in fact, in a completely non-journalistic capacity, but will also probably remain sober for the greatest portion, because duh.

Also, Gary, if it is any consolation, mine has a moustache, too. (And a beard. And long hair. I have my own personal Jesus, y'know.) There will be other moustaches present to distract Zamphir. Also boobies.

Related vote: would those planning to be in attendance most like to see the face of poop, Staropramen, or 'Surly' plastered over my chest? In, er, t-shirt format, obviously.

I cheat. Also, I tend to renege on any deal that involves me staying sober. Just warning you.

So, does anybody that was at SPX (I saw Zamphir, Tynic, Sakuruth, and Evander at various times) have photos of late Saturday at the Dumbrella booth when Zamphir became my brother/nemesis in moustachery? The MFL (amatuer division) was very nearly founded on the spot.

He ran away the first time I proposed it. You just need to be persistent.

Not shown: Fish, as done by Phillip. It is the only unsigned picture, although Fish is saying 'Beer.' I suppose that counts, in a broad sense.
