• RightCowLeftCoast (talk · contribs) - As much as I would like to attend, I have to work that day in San Diego County until 1600, so I won't be able to make it up there by the time the festivities are over.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 22:02, 18 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Kholdfyre (talk · contribs) - You have my deepest regrets on being unable to attend this outstanding event due to transportation issues and family obligations on 24 February. However, I sincerely hope that this will not be the only Wikipedia Day, and that there might even be one held in Los Angeles or near it in the future, as I would have liked very much to attend. I appreciate the RSVP and you have my eternal gratitude for all the preparation and work that went into making it the success I know it will be. Have fun! :) I also, by the way, apologize for not having a customized user or talk page, but will shortly be adding to both, as I really love Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia wikis, as well as learning, reading, writing and language in general.
