So where are we going. Pizza House or Connor O’Neill’s? I was out and about here, and there’s local groups performing everywhere. I mean, yesterday and today were pretty good. I can’t wait for SDMB IRL, though. Pizza House, LOUNE? ---

Are you kidding me? The last person that tried feeding him drew back a nub! :eek: Bummer on the schedule conflict, DeNiro, and bailing this close means you’re in charge of organizing the next outing. It’s in the rules. ---

I doubt we’ll need a reservation, especially with the dwindling attendance rate… the place is huge and rarely is there a line. ---

I’m getting excited! I’ll be wearing my black Dubrovnik t-shirt and if it’s cold enough, my most extroverted winter hat. See you at 7! ---

I’ll be wearing an orange shirt. It’s my anti-St. Patty’s Day attire. I’m a quarter Scotch. I’ve gotta be difficult. ---

Yes–the table of awesomeness! Okay. I’ll tame it down a bit, apparently you guys are hard to impress. I _think_ I’ll be wearing my white leather jacket, replete with speed stripes (they make me go faster)… jeans, and converse. Oh, and since **olives** will be wearing a hat, a stripped baseball cap… I don’t want to be outdone! ---
