If there are any Dopers in or around Indianapolis let’s hang out, eh. I’m buying. ---

\*\* Intertia,\*\* where would you like to go and when? Are you still “located” in Chicago and just visiting, or have you made the move to Naptown? ---

But are they Bob Evans’ biscuits and gravy? 😉 (Besides, we’re more apt to go for a big-@$$ pork tenderloin sammich and some grilled corn on the cob.) ---

When and where?!? If it’s this weekend, I’m out. The tournament has all sorts of family coming in. The selection committee seemed to have pandered to having both ND and Marquette grads who work in Missouri in my family. ---

I’m commuting to “Naptown” or Indianoplace as I like to call it, every week Sunday night through Thursday (and this week Friday.) That makes it a middle-of-the-week thing. ---

Hey man, at least we’re not The Mistake by the Lake!! I saw your post on the commute thread, and it all made sense. Are you familiar with our fair city? Or would you like some “suggestions?” And - not to sound rude - what’s the price range (per person)you’re looking for? ---

Averie537, $$$ depends on how many people wanna do something. When? Right now. Tomorrow. Next week. Doesn’t really matter. When would you like? ---

Well…It would need to be next week for me. Thursdays are out. Monday or Wednesday might be better. (I’ve not found a lot of IndyDopers - but there are a couple of 'em down in Bloomington.) ---

I might could manage a Monday or Wed evening if it’s on the northside… I can just glide down 31. ---

Are you familiar with Daddy Jack’s up on Meridian? There are some nice places over in Broadripple as well. Then, of course, there are a few places by Keystone. Where in this wonderful city would you be coming from on say Monday? I’m actually staying in Carmel a mile or so north of 465 on Meridian. I work close to the corner of 86th and N Michigan. ---

Oooh, me, me! I’m in Bloomington, but I can drive. I’ll be an hour late, because I always get lost, but I’ll get there eventually. Weeknights are okay by me, except for Tuesday the 25th. Lemme go drop **todd33rpm** a note, maybe I can get him to come with. Heh. HE can drive. Monday…Monday the 24th, right? And **inertia** , don’t feel obligated to buy for everyone if it gets too 'spensive. I can chip in. ---

I’m on “disciplinary lay off” from my job until next Wednesday morning. So I’m pretty much free until then. I live on the north side of Anderson, northeast of Indy. ---

It would be a _pleasure_ to meet you all. I had no idea some of you were in the state, and it’d be nice to meet you all. After the mornings, I’m open. Thursday’s are my only weird day, and even then not by much. And **Cranky** , I’ll second **bodypoet**! **inertia** , thanks for letting us know you’ll be down this-a-way, and for the idea. Wow…a dopefest, for us. I never thought I’d see the day! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dinner-is-on-me-in-indianapolis/162576.md?page=2)
