YOU’re the one that should be worried. I’m seeking revenge for all those losses you handed me at the Capcom Bowling machine. Victory will be mine…oh, yes…it will…be mine.

If not, I’ll buy everyone a round during the beer frame. 😉

Sounds good to me!  
Of course, saying so means freely admitting that it’s Wednesday night, and I have no plans yet for the weekend, but hey-who the hell are we kidding here-when do I ever!  
😃  
Libations, no libations, whatever’s good with me.  
If **Vdarlin** will be in the market area, maybe we could plan to hang out somewhere over there?

Heh heh. I don’t think involving MORE alcohol would even be possible!  
Apparently I was acting the cheap lush quite effectively on the car ride home;  
_"Blah blah blah how many shots did I have? blah blah never got to play bowling blah blah forgot to write on chalkboard (hiccup) blah blah AC’s (burp) yadda (hiccup) SDMB blah blah…zzzzzz_"  
All class, baby!

Hmm. Market area?

Wild Wings or T-Bonz?  
I personally prefer Wild Wings, because they’re faster. T-Bonz always takes forEVER to get the food to the table at night. So, Saturday? Hmm. Saturday nights on the Market are usually ridiculous.

The only other places I can think of are on King Street. Sharky’s, Mellow Mushroom, and Kickin’ Chicken. (KC has excellent food.)

Any other suggestions?

I’ve never tried Mellow Mushroom but I hear it’s wonderful. Nothing too extravagant, something good but also relaxed.  
Just send us an e-mail or post with the specifics 🙂 Dinner would be good.

And, um **Skerri** , don’t be offended if I don’t sit next to you… I don’t want to catch a stray bullet if **pbrtallboy** happens to have poor aim! 😃

Well guys, I don’t know. This week has gone so freakin’ fast, and there is still quite a bit that we are planning on doing. Saturday might end up being the only day to get some of that stuff done, as tomorrow is already pretty well booked up, and I’m leaving Sunday(where has the time gone?!?!). The Darlin’ child is sick, too, so not sure how he’ll be feeling Saturday night, or if Grandma will feel comfortable watching him.

For now, I guess, count me out. Sorry. If things change, I’ll get back on here and post otherwise. I’ll be back around these parts again from time to time, so, there’s always next time! 🙂

Whaddya think, **Skerri** & **sidle**? Are we re-scheduling or are we still on? If so, what time, location, etc.

Well, we can still get together. It’s nasty outside, but I’m up for it.

Y’all have my email, and if not, it’s in my profile. I’m out on the island today, but I think **sidle** has my phone number. I’ll check in later and see what’s going on.

I may not be able to make it out until later… I have a few things going on today that I need to take care of. It looks like drinks (non-alcoholic for me tonight) might work better than dinner. Would you all mind changing it to drinks later? If not AC’s maybe Kaminsky’s on Market - they’ll be quite crowded on a Saturday night but they have a fine selection of desserts, coffee, wine & beer 😉 Or we could go to AC’s again.

I’m leaving today at 1:45 and I probably won’t be back online until later. I’ll check back in before I leave & whenever I get home. If I don’t make it to this soiree, I’ll be at the next. 🙂 Sorry - it’s just gotten quite hectic all of a sudden.

But I’m curious about AC’s. Just what is that. I thought I’d hit all the places in the market area

Well, none of us ended up going tonight but you’d be welcome to join us the next time we go. AC’s is a laid-back bar on King St. (467 King, I think). Last week was my first visit there… in the company of **Skerri** & **sidle** - good times!

Come out next time (if you live in the area) we Dopers are rare in these parts.

Anyone have anything interesting happen over the weekend?
