We’re lurkers, finally emerging from the purdah. We’d like to join you tomorrow, so you can expect two demure desi damsels (but not in distress).

I hope someone got the mango chicken at Heritage; it is 12 kinds of yummy. Wish I could have been there, but had to be NYC this weekend, and then when the NYC meetup happens next weekend, I will be in DE (with a Republican friend ). Know that I celebrate along with all macacas. By the way, since the etymology of “macaca” as an insult to a particular group never has been fully established, I’m happy to adopt it as “stupid non-Indian guy’s attempt to insult an Indian, reclaimed for our community” type word, like “queer” for LGBT folks.

Aaargh....I didnt read this post until a few hours ago when Sriram left me a voice mail about it. (thanks man!)

However...I am SO down for Dec 16th. I'm going to start ironing out the sari already! Cannot wait!!

Salil – Thanks for making me feel welcome despite my not being in the bloom of health – I’m sure your liver and my stomach would have lots to talk about. But being sick the past 3 days means that I had to ask for an extension on a midterm, and it has to be done by tomorrow. So 1 part contagion + 2 parts grad school = Lizzie’s staying in today. But have fun y’all!

Lizzie,

I will venture that fully 40% of attendees will be hungover, so you will only be diffrentiated by the degree of contagion you arrive with. Sniffling, red-eyes, hacking cough, etc. on a Sunday morning are to be expected with this carousing crowd of rabble-rousers. Present company excepted, of course. I was DD last night, and so confined my intake to:

a jack and coke
a diet coke.
a glass of water.

And yet somehow, I still feel kind of beat up. My liver has vacated the premises.

See y'all in a few. AJP, I am arriving +2, I believe.

I'm so disappointed - I'm fighting off a stomach bug this weekend and don't see any way that I can be presentable by tomorrow afternoon. I'm new to the DC area, and was kinda hesitantly awaiting a meetup here. poop.

And I hardly ever get a chance to wear a sari! I hope I'm well enough in December.

Well, it looks like I’ll be able to make it but I’ll be there about 1:45 or 2…does that stretch beyond IST?

You should be okay. From what I was told, we have to order by 2ish, b/c the kitchen closes around then, but after that, it’s chill, we can hang out and eat. Just keep me posted– if I have to, I’ll read you the menu and order for you. Can’t wait to see you!
