Hey Opal, doing “vanity search” and found this post. I’m TOTALLY up for 1st week of December! just post the specs. ---

I suggested _Dick’s Last Resort_ in Quincy Market for the last Dopefest, but someone object on grounds I can’t recall. We’ went there with some friends back when they were over by the Prudential, and it was pretty good – a much better party venue than Durgin-Park. ---

I mentioned in anothor thread that Durgin Park is not accessable, but the downstairs Gaslight Pub is. But if Dick’s is a better choice, then Dick’s it is. I’m probably not available on the 6th or 7th. ---

I have a book club meeting on the 6th, but other than that any day after Nov. 30 is golden for me 🙂 ---

Sometime in early December would be SPECTACULAR! (and real!) 😉 ---

Whoops, I lied. I can’t do the 4th, either, as that’s the hospital holiday party night. And if you want me to bring my husband along, he won’t be around until after that date, either. (Obviously it isn’t mandatory that he come, though) ---

Let’s not let this plan wither on the vine. I just signed up for a couple classes (Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons), and I’m helping host a tournament at my curling club this Friday and Saturday, but apart from that, my schedule is open. ---

I have plans for the 11th, but they can probably move them to this weekend. Should I do so? – I don’t really know any restaurants or bars in eastern MA. Western MA, on the other hand . . . ---

Weeknights and Sundays will be tough for me, I’m a couple of hours west, and I work fairly early. I’m off between the 27th and the 31st, though . . . ---

I’m going to try to visit my daughter at Wellesley in December, so do LMK. The way this thread is going, though, I may need to schedule another visit around March or April. ---

May i be so bold as to suggest a date in January, when people have nothing to do, and some local restaurant could use the extra business?
