Yayyy, birthday Dopefest! I’m a little too far past mine (Dec. 29) to be a celebratee, but **Bluesman** and I will try to be there to help everyone else celebrate. About the Rainforest Cafe, though. It’s fun, but it can be a bit spendy, and can take _forever_ to get into. (I don’t know if they take reservations). But, if it’s the general consensus, then that’s fine, too. ---

Harumph. the link works for meeee. > **[Rainforest Cafe | Jungle-Themed Restaurant Chain Worldwide](https://www.rainforestcafe.com/)** > > Rainforest is a jungle-themed restaurant chain that offers sumptuous food, cool shade among the lush vegetation of this unique eco-system and a chance to relax before continuing onto your next adventure There, whinypants 😛 I’m not hooked on that place, just it’s one of the few places I know of in that area. I think if we said we had a large party coming in they would take a reservation… If anyone has other suggestions, that’s great. ---

Sounds good. Count me and Aaron in, but I dunno about Airman. If he can make it, he’ll be there, too. And his birthday’s January 30th. Robin ---

Mine’s probably just a tad far away (March 11th), but if you feel like extending it for a month, I’m all for it. 😉 As far as when, an early afternoon Saturday/Sunday thing would be better for us. Usually we can pony up the money for a hotel, but until I get another job, we’re really having to count our pennies a bit. And, after a fun, late, night with Dopers Galore, I’m not sure either of us would feel like driving back to Philly. ---

Saturday or Sunday afternoon would be best for us also, altho Baltimore is not that long a drive, so we could do evening, tho we’d probably be among the first to bail… we are talking Feb 15/16, right? ---

Hey! One of my birthdays is March 6! (I’m a born-again Christian. Got _two_ birthdays. The March 6 one is the original one.) So if we can stretch it for you, **TruePisces** , we can do it for me, too. 🙂 If you’re serious about coming down for this, I’ll ask the wife about putting you guys up if it turns out to be an evening thing. ---

Thanks, hon. I’ll bring it up to **Verrain** , and see if it works. I’d really love to get down to see all of y’all again. ---

Rainforest Cafe is all right, I guess; never eaten there. At least they’ve gotten rid of those parrots which used to squawk loud enough to make my ears ring. ---

No, we should all have a major party for MOI on the 19th, since that’s the day I become legal!!! Hurray for buying cigerettes and porn! Oh, and I can vote too, but no one cares about that.
