Birthday lunch rsvps

[sqbr]

Hello! Have just posted to Facebook and that's a more convenient way of counting, but anyone who's not on that please let me know if you're coming.

Time: 12 noon Saturday 22nd November
Place: Jetties Restaurant Hillaries Boat Harbour
Booking under Sophie *my married name*

I SUCK at deciding this sort of thing so cast the net pretty wide, given how absent minded I am I probably still missed people (but no complaining if I missed you because you currently live in England or Canberra etc :P)

I actually don't want TOO many people coming since I'm not sure how large a booking they'll take(*), but I've had too many bad experiences of NOONE coming to stuff I organise to just invite the actual number I want.

(*)In retrospect, 62 was maybe a few too many...I said I suck! Man, I hate organising things.

Those of us without facebook can't even see the details ...

Hah, knew I forgot something, sorry :D *edits*

Although I am on facebook, I couldn't see the page either! Because I wasn't (until recently) on Sophie's contacts/friends/whatever it's called list.

Since I consider myself on the fringe of your social crowd, I shall not add myself to the crowd... But have a good lunch!

Thankyou!

EDIT: Oops, I realised the thankyou could sound like it was for not coming, rather than for wishing me well! You are of course welcome, though I agree you don't know most of the people coming that well, I know when I'm in that position I feel a bit weird. But so far I have a total of four "yes"'s including myself, so it's not too crowded :)

Let X={person in people | RSVP(person)>0}

Yes it has been a long and fruitless day, why do you ask?

[alias_sqbr]

I like how the number of RSVPs I might receive from any given person is unbounded and not neccesarily and integer :)

[delicious-irony.livejournal.com]

Messaged you. :P

[alias_sqbr]

Sorry I took a while to reply, Facebook didn't notify me for some reason so I spent a while trying to figure out what sort of message it was!

[nico-wolfwood.livejournal.com]

OMG - are you on facebook?

[alias_sqbr]

No.

Wait....yes :)

Alas I will be playing bridge all weekend, so will not be able to make it.

[alias_sqbr]

Well, also the vegetarian options suck. So you're forgiven twice :)

That can't mean what it looks like it means. Can it?

[alias_sqbr]

*coughs*

In my defense, from previous Facebook things I was pretty sure most people would either not reply or say no, and this is what has happened: so far I have 7 Facebook rsvps (well, eight if you count a "Plus partner" comment)
