3. I'm in and you're all in

For a little surprise. :P

[Lydia Leftcoast]

4. So who are you? Norm Coleman? Tim Pawlenty? Prince?

:evilgrin:

[3.14158675309]

5. I said a little surprise, not a horrible nightmare!

:P

[Lydia Leftcoast]

10. Oh, are you going to bring a PIE?

:evilgrin:

[3.14158675309]

25. I should!

:9

[Pierre.Suave]

11. Is the surprise

from New jersey?

:P

[3.14158675309]

26. OMG

You already know the surprise (maybe everyone already knows, I don't really know)

[Pierre.Suave]

28. well, if that is true

it aint no surprise anymore...

and I was just guessing... :P

[dflprincess]

30. I don't know.

Tell me.

[geardaddy]

6. I can't make it.

:(

[Pierre.Suave]

8. Bummer

I will drink a shot in your honor.

:P

[geardaddy]

9. Thanks!

:thumbsup:

[dflprincess]

7. I'm there.

[Lucian]

12. You all should meet in St. Cloud.

Then I would be able to make it. :)

But since it's in The Cities, I won't be able to. :(

[Lydia Leftcoast]

13. But if the meet-up were in St. Cloud, the rest of us wouldn't be able to make it

:shrug:

[krispos42]

14. What kind of place is it?

I got my income tax refund so I have some cash credit for a little fun.


But I have my kid on weekends, being the dedicated, loving, father that I am (and single, too... tell your friends!)

So it is appropirate for a 4-year-old?


Hmmmm...


Unless I get the neighbor to watch him...

[Lydia Leftcoast]

15. It's an Irish pub, but a respectable one

and they serve a fairly traditional menu, so if Krispos Junior isn't into shepherd's pie or fish and chips, he could always have a hamburger.

[krispos42]

16. Mmmmm... fish and chips....

And a Killian's Irish Red. Yum.


I'll let you know. Let's say that I'm coming but I don't know if I'm coming alone or not.

:-)

[Lydia Leftcoast]

17. As I mentioned upthread,

a British expat friend thinks that The Local has the best fish and chips in town.

[krispos42]

18. You had me at "fish and chips"

:loveya:

[dflprincess]

24. Yeah, but she lost me at "respectable"

I jest. :evilgrin:

I thought all Irish pubs were resepectable.

[Pierre.Suave]

29. they may be resepectable

but we really want a place that is RESPECTABLE...

:P

[Pierre.Suave]

19. On a Saturday at 12

we may be the only people there. I am sure it will be fine for your son. It is a very nice respectable place, with a good menu.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

20. B'gosh and b'gorrah, they serve brunch, according to their website

but I'm sure they'd be willing to fry up a wee bit of fish and chips now.

[Pierre.Suave]

21. Do you think we should call ahead

just incase they have a big brunch crowd?

:shrug:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

22. I don't know, lad, I've never been there for brunch

:shrug:

In the meantime, I've sent PMs to a couple of our missing regulars and at other websites, too.

[Pierre.Suave]

23. I sent PMs to those I know on DU

and those that have been to meetups before.

I will call them and let them know.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

27. I've just gotten an RSVP

from GAspnes.

[Pierre.Suave]

31. Ok reservations are made for tomorrow at noon

At The Local, we will be in the "boardroom" with eating capacity up to 14, but very comfortable for 10 people. if a few extras show up we will be ok.

The reservation is under my name, and they have their regular lunch menu, and a brunch buffet and will have Fish and Chips available.

See you all tomorrow. Any questions, let me know.

:hi:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

32. Uh, under the name of "Pierre Suave" or "Jason-whatever-C-stands-for"?

:shrug:

[Pierre.Suave]

33. ROFL

Jason.

[myrna minx]

34. Awww, I can't make this one either!

I love going to the Local too. Have a great time everyone. :hi:

[dpbrown]

35. I coming with my little activist

So I don't know how long we'll be able to stay before she gets bored.
