  WannaBe: <Robin01> Have fun my friend! (wherever you're going :-)

<TrueBlue> I got to play her through the Simul sign up. $25 bucks. Have you gone to her page yet? You can ask her questions. I noticed that you only kibitz on game pages, not on players' pages.

Jun-22-06  TrueBlue: thanks WannaBe, I saw her site. I will see if I can sign up to play her in one of the comming events. I will keep you posted.

  WannaBe: <TrueBlue> I don't know if she is doing a Simul. in Chicago. You may want to ask her when is the next time she is doing a simul.

I also believe she is doing an upcoming geek cruise early 2007. If you ask her on her page, she will provide you with more details.
