:smack: Drat!

We do have 2 months. Hopefully by then the snow will be gone and we can do something outdoors.

I like lost4life’s plans. Beer, and barhopping. Whooo!

Does anyone know of a good place for kite flying near Ann Arbor? I was thinking that an afternoon kite fly might be fun.

If you have a car, Gallup park. Or wait is that Fuller park? The one on the Huron river. You should get good breezes there, right?

Just giving this a bump to see if we’re still on for June 7th.

I have a car now, and I’d love to see all you guys!Â¿

I could definitely be up for this.

I’m new to Michigan (moved here in January 2003), and wouldn’t mind meeting some of the Dopers around here.

I’m psyched! I may even get my Brother and his Wife (my sister in law) to come to dinner. I think it would be good to widen their horizons. Can I get a list of who is likely to make it?

I can most likely make it. We just have to decide if we want to do the bar or park thing. I vote for the Arbor Brewing Company. In fact, I’ll probably be there this weekend to, uh, research the surroundings for everyone. 😉

So:

Wonko The Sane  
Shadowfox  
Hello Again  
Lost4Life  
Brynda  
How about we meet at High Noon at Zingermans? Anyone have an idea on how to identify one another? I like the AA Brewing Company idea, but I was wondering if anyone had any after-lunch activities ideas.

Yup. I can do lunch all right. Evening activity is somewhat iffier, but I’ll be at Zingerman’s.

Many of the Michigan Dopers recognize each other on sight, so one they start arriving we’ll have a noticeable gaggle of people assembled.

But to make it easier for the rest of you, let’s all agree to lodge our left pinkies in our left nostrils, as a signal. You might want to dig around with it, as if you were picking your nose, so you look less conspicuous to non-Dopers.

Cranky- Do I have to eat anything I retrieve, or can I just regard it with awe?

How does everyone feel about checking out The Nichols Arboretum [http://www.umich.edu/~wwwarb/index.html](http://www.umich.edu/~wwwarb/index.html) after lunch? I figure it’s a good healthy walk, or a short cab ride. Let me know what you all think.
