Talked with the manager; she said that she could hold the section we need for noon. She’s going to call me on Thursday to confirm the size of our party. So who’s in? ---

Ok, I don’t have to at work until 3 that day, so 11 would be dandy. Noon is cutting it tight, but we’ll see. ---

10, 11, 12, 1, 2, or 3. Definitely not 6. a.m. or p.m. 7 would be pushing it too. 8 is a little early (or late) for lunch, but I could make it at 9. a.m. of course. In other words, I’m open, and I’m in. ---

Yup, put me down as an attendee. Now, just where on Nicollet is this? 700? North side? East side? When you’re a Jet you’re a Jet all the way? ---

It’s at 700 Nicollet Mall. [Here’s a map](http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?addtohistory=&country=US&address=700+Nicollet+Mall&city=Minneapolis&state=MN&zipcode=&historyid=&submit.x=72&submit.y=10), 'cause I’m terrible at knowing North from South downtown. ---

Ya know what? I got a menu from them today and the address on the menu is NOT 700 Nicollet Mall. I don’t get it, but here is the straight dope, so to speak: **Minneapolis DopeLunch** Date: Friday, August 1, 2003 Time: Noon Location: On the corner of 11th Street and Nicollet Mall. Address: 1070 Nicollet Mall. South side, **lno**. And yes, when you’re a Jet, you’re a helluva Jet. **Elen**! I get to meet a **Zappy**? Is he a golden retriever? Can I talk to him in a cuddle-wuddle voice and give him kisses? If he’s in working dog mode the whole time, I’ll understand. ::sniff:: ---

Market Place _is_ at 700 Nicollet Mall (a.k.a. 700 under the mall) In the basement of Marshall Fields (a.k.a. Dayton’s) Market Place _Cafe_ is 1070 right smack dab next to the mall. Food wise, they don’t seem that related. But last time, it was certainly not very crowded, which is a good thing. ---

If he’s in working dog mode the whole time, I’ll understand. ::sniff:: \*\* She’s an Australian Shepherd, actually - 35 pounds of pure, raw, untamed chaos (unless she’s on harness and working, at which point she’s an angel.) You can talk to her in a cuddle-wuddle voice after lunch, if you want, and get all your puppy smooches that way. I will take her off harness then, and you can knock your little self out 🙂 if you want a pic of the Zapper before you meet her, you can find one here: [Zap!](http://zappuppy.tripod.com/zap.html) She was wee, then, but still looks about the same. Just taller, more fluff… and no fat. She’s just bones. And yes, I feed her.
