OK, so this wild and crazy bunch is planning on getting together on a Sunday afternoon, so we can all get to bed early, in a nice family restaurant so we can bring the kids. Party on dudes. I’ll be there, if I can get off. Wouldn’t want to miss this sort of mad shindig. I make it June 18th at 6:00 PM at Chevy’s in Greenway Shopping Center in Greenbelt, MD, or, I have not been listening. Actually, if we are gonna do a Sunday during the daylight hours thing, I say lets go for a park, a picnic, and around 4 PM, everyone sign up to bring a favorite dish, or cookout thingie. (Lord knows we have left ourselves enough time to grow our own fresh veggies.) So, If this is the actual deal, who prefers restaurant, and who prefers picnic? Who prefers or demands, insists, begs, or whatever for an entirely different set of ideas? (and you better come up with a complete plan, dammit, or we are gonna have to bring fireworks.) ## **Tris** Imagine my signature begins five spaces to the right of center. ---

Gee, Tris, I think a picnic is a great idea. It’s gott be someplace where they have pavilions in case of rain tho. Who knows a place in Greenbelt that fits that description? * * * Cecil said it. I believe it. That settles it. * * * Relax, I’m not as Dave as I look!- A Wallified sig! ---

The nearest Park is Greenbelt Park, which is right next door to Greenway Center (and both are close enough to me to walk to). Do you really want to do a picnic though? I think the park closes at dusk. Will that allow us enough time? ---

Screw picnic. Restaurant. I wanna have some beer, dammit, and the parks won’t let that happen. **Falcon** I was _wondering_ when someone would finally comment on my sig line! Thanks for noticing 🆒 * * * All I wanna do is to thank you, even though I don’t know who you are… ---

What about Chevy’s at 4 PM? That way we all have a fun little afternoon and can spend a couple more hours meeting/annoying/flirting/fighting with each other and still get home in time to catch the requisite amount of Z’s. Not sure I’ll be able to convince Mrs O. and the Tzeroling to come along but if Chevy’s is a family-style restaurant it may happen. Or I can just go stag 🙂 Anyone know the bus route that’ll get me from Greenbelt to the shopping center where Chevy’s is located? * * * All I wanna do is to thank you, even though I don’t know who you are… ---

June 18th sounds just peachy dandy to me. I know where the Chevy’s is of which you speak, and it sounds like a fine choice. (…salivating over the idea of ordering one of those $8.00 combo meals that feeds me for the entire week…) * * * JMCJ “Y’know, I would invite y’all to go feltch a dead goat, but that would be abuse of a perfectly good dead goat and an insult to all those who engage in that practice for fun.” -weirddave, set to maximum flame ---

If you can make it the Saturday, both myself and Drain can make it. If it’s the Sunday, neither of us can since I have to get her back to Columbus and me back in Raleigh in time for me to get to work on Monday. * * * Yer pal, Satan [http://www.raleighmusic.com/board/Images/devil.gif](http://www.raleighmusic.com/board/Images/devil.gif) _Still not smoking, but away from my meter!_ ---

I’m in, and possibly my hunnybunny too. We need to agree on a time- 4 or 6? Chevy’s is located at 7511 Greenbelt Rd, Greenbelt MD 20770 (301-220-0078). The little red star marks the spot: [http://www.geocities.com/attrayant\_1/maps/chevys.jpg](http://www.geocities.com/attrayant_1/maps/chevys.jpg) If you aren’t familiar enough with the area for this map to make sense, go to [Mapquest](http://www.mapquest.com/cgi-bin/ia_find?link=btwn/twn-map_form&event=no_map&uid=u8xe0nsda3n2rdoe:bngw20u0r) and punch in the address for your own personal elevation.
