Please watch for Doc's notice on the time and date... I'm pretty sure it's Thursday. And yes, You'll want to meet Shambala. He has Moxie!
Yipes stripes, I think you're right. It is on Thursday.
This could have been a major mess with everyone showing up a day late.

Oh right, a hundred people descending upon Barbie Death Camp on Friday. What in heaven's name would we do? Wait...how it that any different than any other day of the week?

Yes, the M&G will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday lasting until the last inebriate is evicted from the back of the RV.

Thank goodness for Google.

Dictionary states it as: energy, pep, courage, determination, know-how.

AND......there's:
Moxie Restaurant in Ohio.
Moxie is a non-alcoholic bitter soft drink.
Moxie Tampons?!! 16 in a reusable tin for $7
Ask Moxie (advice)
Club Moxie
and then there's THIS which is freaky in a way:

Charlie's definitely got MOXIE-DNA.
Maybe he drinks Moxie at the Club Moxie.
Maybe the Goddesses use Moxies during tiger-blood week.

The term, "you've got Moxie", is an old term meaning that you have charisma or courage. The image is of a root based drink that goes back probably 100 years or so. The company that made it has long since sold it off, but you can still buy it in some isolated stores. It has a taste that is something like cough syrup with bubbles, but it does grow on you.
