Yes, that’s this Friday. As explained [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=28985) Irishman will be back in town so we want to make another go round. We decided Olive Garden in Grapevine (see the map in the link above, it’s in the same parking lot) at sevenish. I checked with Olive Garden and they do not take reservations, but I will call them before I leave work to get an idea of the wait and to put our name on the list. I will need a head count, so everyone check in! The last one was a blast, don’t miss this one. Thanks ---

Bump again. This is fun. I’ll be there Zyada. Next time, though, I’ll organize it and set it up a block away from my house. 🙂 ---

Naked hopscotch. That idea got nixed last time, but somebody’s bound to have a more lenient(sp?) homeowners association. Ooooorrr…I don’t recall seeing any signs at any of the Olive Gardens I’ve been to that strictly forbid naked hopscotch. Maybe they wouldn’t mind. We could eat for free in exchange for entertaining the other diners. Perhaps get a few tips. You’re a belly dancer, Zyada. How 'bout it? ---

Bhudda, IckStuff - I live in Bedford! (Just moved from Euless) Aglarond - you figure out how to hijack the sound system, I’ll bring my costume. Either we’ll clear out the restaurant… or I’ll make enough money to pay for our meal. 😛 Inkblot - the number of DFW Dopers is a moving target - everytime I think I know who’s here, a bunch of newbies pop up! ---

Work in Grand Prairie, live in Plano. Unfortunately, I didn’t spot this thread until today, and I already have plans for tonight. Crud. Maybe next time!
