You know who you are, and I do to. I hereby propose we meet up at Taco Mac in South Park next Saturday evening (August 6) at about 8:00. Who’s with me? ---

Anyone? Bueller? ---

Hmm. I would like to go but South Park is one of my least favorite places on Earth. Seriously, it gives me the shakes and the sweats. Maybe we could meet up somewhere a little more casual, less terrifying? ---

Maybe we could meet up somewhere a little more casual, less terrifying? I was thinking Taco Mac in South Park, because it’s a fairly central location with horrible parking but a massive beer selection. Unfortunately, O’Shea’s in The Fountains has closed. If there is another place you’d like to go to, I’m open. ---

Let’s see if anyone else has suggestion, first. They’ll probably chime in once they get back to work on Monday. ---

Taco Mac is pretty nice, but alas, **melodyharmonius** is moving this weekend, and I suspect we’ll be completely unfit for such challenging tasks as driving, sitting upright, and maintaining eye contact by 6 pm on Saturday. Maybe next time? ---

That’s cool, we can postpone for a week or two. Is **melodyharmonius** moving in town? ---

Hey, can I come? I’m just down the road in Columbia. I’ve always meant to drop by one of these things. (Can’t do this weekend, though.) ---

Of course. Anyone nearby would be welcome. It’s looking more and more like this weekend is not do able. How does 8/13 look like for everyone? ---

> [@Southern\_Yankee](#): > > I dunno… if we start letting in the _SC_ people … > > 😃 Just kidding! Of course you can come. Hey wait just a goldurned minute… I AM SC people! Still. I tried to make my break last month, but I just couldn’t leave low-priced gas and a 17 mile bike commute through our beautiful peach groves and horse farms. But I still party in Charlotte when I have the energy – which is not often. I am working till 5:30ish in Pineville and I have another get-together at 9:30 at Harper’s in Pineville with co-workers, but I am game. I love a good beer selection. ETA: Oh well on second thought, if it’s going to be on 8/13 I’m game for some pool shootin’ or bowling or trivia even… I’m usually off on Saturdays. ---

Not to be a party pooper but I’m going to the Jackson Jam benefit concert at the Museum of the Waxhaws on the 13th. Don’t cancel on my account though. ---

Are we still planning on meeting at Taco Mac (or elsewhere) this Saturday? It may be good to get a headcount and make a reservation. ---
