1. It would have to be late afternoon or evening

I have Talk Cinema in the morning, and it can run as late as 1PM.

[krispos42]

2. I'm free... my kid is on an emergency visit to Connecticut for a couple of weeks

So I'm just rattling around. :-)

3. I could do afternoon

As of now, I have nothing going on Saturday.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

4. Late lunch or early dinner?

:shrug:

Once we decide, we can tell the Minnesotans who are on Facebook.

[dflprincess]

5. Early dinner?

My afternoon is open so let's see what works best for others.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

6. Some of the others are no longer with us

:-(

and there's the question of whether we can drag Ocelot in from sailing.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. If the weather is good, I'm sailing...

:hi:

[Lydia Leftcoast]

8. Here's the forecast from the Strib:

Saturday...Mostly cloudy. A chance of showers in the morning... Then a chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs around 75. Southeast winds 5 mph. Chance of rain 30 percent.

9. Oh, poo...

Lunch, then?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

10. I may not be available for lunch because

I have Talk Cinema, and since we never know in advance what the movie is, I don't know how long it will last.

We start at 10AM and on occasion have not gotten out till 1PM.

Upthread, I suggested a late lunch or early dinner.

[krispos42]

11. Obama's speech in Minneapolis is at 12:30, so maybe...

...an early dinner would be less chaotic.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

12. 5PM, maybe?

:shrug:

[krispos42]

13. That works for me. My kid's not around so I'll likely go to see him.

First time I'll ever have seen a president!




Well, I saw Bill Clinton once, but I was like 100 yards away and he was going from a limo to a helicopter. :-)

[dflprincess]

14. That works for me

If we can, some place with off street parking is would be good.

I was bad enough with parallel parking before, but I can't see the nose on the new car at all and I'm gotten even worse!

15. I think I could do an early evening or late afternoon kind of thing

I can't go to the President's speech because in the morning it's the little activist's first day back at Chinese school this fall and I can't not take her for the first day.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

16. Very Chinese of them to have school on Saturday

:-)

or is it one of those part-time schools for immigrants' kids?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

17. OK, all we need is a place

Any suggestions--especially those with off-street parking?

Not much off-street parking downtown.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

18. How about one of our previous venues--

such as Roat Osha (Thai on Hennepin) or the Edina Grill or any other place near 50th and France?
