Bump. See you tonight. I assume that the reservations are under the Adams Family? ---

You know, he didn’t ask for a name. It’s a fairly small place (okay, it might have been someone’s living room in another life) - if you say you’re with the reservation for 7:00, I think you’ll get to the right table. (Adams family - heh. Wish I’d thought of that.) ---

Wish I’d thought of that.) Yeah, I haven’t kept trak of the number of atendees, but I’m betting we’ll take up anywhere from 20% to 50% of the floorspace. See y’all tonight. ---

Well, I think our Thursday dinner went pretty darned well. Good food, good company - what more could you want? Maybe to do it again tonight. **alice\_in\_wonderland** , is the dinner tonight at the 11th Ave Chili Club still on? ---

Whoops! I forgot that the my browser crashed on preview last night and I didn’t repost. If we are still on for tonight I’d like to know if we have room for one more. I have a friend that would like to come and she’s crazy about the pad thai. Thanks for organizing the fest **featherlou**. Next time I go to Puspa I’m stepping up to the vindaloo. My dish was rather mild even though it was delicious. ---

Well, **Gut** , I don’t know at this point if **alice** or anyone else is in, but Jim and I will be there, and your friend is more than welcome. See you at 6:30. 🙂 Okay, lemon garlic prawns, Swimming Rama, and kow mun. Got it. ---

Bad news - no room at the Thai Chili House for tonight, so Jim and I won’t be going, after all. Sorry, **Gut**. We’ll have to make it for another night - I’m really looking forward to going there now. ---

Okay, discussed it with the hubster, and we figure Thursday, August 25 would work for us. Will post closer to the date to see if anyone else wants to go. ---

Hey Guys, I’m really sorry I couldn’t make it to the latest dopefest… it was a combination of being drained from work and my lack of fondness for Indian Food. However, should you all decide to get together at a good pub, count me in this time. R. ---

I’ll keep that day in mind. August is looking busy so I’d probably not be able to make it until 8:00pm or so. Don’t let that hold you guys up though. I can catch up. You saw me decimate that food at Puspa 😉 ---

Well, I’ve seen my husband down a cheeseburger in 45 seconds. I think we have the makings of an eat-off here. 😃 ---

Don’t forget the teeny weenies. An integral part of any Calgary dopefest. ---

> [@featherlou](#): > > Okay, discussed it with the hubster, and we figure Thursday, August 25 would work for us. Will post closer to the date to see if anyone else wants to go. Hi **Featherlou** , given you’re being so considerate in our regard, I need to let you know that **Serious Lark** and I will be in Montreal from August 13th to the 27th dutifully bringing our progeny to spend some time with his grandparents. So feel free to have it on a non-Thursday during those weeks, or, if you can, postponing it by a week would probably allow us to make it. Many thanks from both of us for organising the Puspa’s evening. We enjoyed it throughly. 🙂 ---

That’s a little intimidating. I have no comment on the teeny weenies.
