OK, let’s quit hijacking [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=197871) and move our lunch planning here. So, as I asked in the other thread - Aug 2 or Aug 16? Suggestions for restaurants or part of town? Who’s gonna be attending? Shall we all wear hats? 😃 Let the planning begin! ---

I work downtown and would be delighted to join you for lunch some place close. ---

If it were a Saturday, I would definitely be interested in coming down for a girl’s lunch out. Can’t do the 2nd or 9th (beginning and end of my week at the shore), but could do the 16th. My “let’s go to the Visionary Art Museum” proposal never flew, but, IIRC, **FCM** expressed interest – if we piggybacked that on, I’d be there with bells on. What say y’all? ---

I want to see that museum too! OK, tentative proposal: Saturday Aug 16 Lunch - location - maybe in the Federal Hill Area? Or someplace in Harbor Place? Any other suggestions? Then whoever wants to shall adjourn to the Visionary Art Museum Then we can go back to my boat - it’s just a couple of blocks down Key Highway - or not. **Juanita** - would that Saturday work for you? ---

Sounds good to me. I don’t know Baltimore at all, so pls. pick somewhere not too obscure to meet. I could probably find the Inner Harbor – isn’t there a farmer’s market type place down there? Then the museum, definitely. Now – hats – I’ve got a straw hat – but for truly distinctive headwear, I’d have to go to baseball caps – like the turquoise one with a flamingo logo on it… ---

I’m in heaven! Lunch with the Doper Wimmens, the museum, the boat and then slosh it up with the rest of the MADs at dinner. Who could ask for anything more? ---

**twickster** if nothing else, you could meet me, leave your car near the art museum, and we could ride together to lunch if it’s not within walking distance of the Inner Harbor. There’s a small market in Federal Hill - I think it’s the Cross Street Market - dunno what’s there tho. I like Cooper’s Tavern in Fells Point too. I really need someone else to help come up with a lunch place, tho, as I haven’t lived in Balto in years, so I’m not as familiar as I could be. I see there are 3 of us so far - who else wants lunch? ---

I can’t do any day, either. We’ll be in Texas on the 2nd, and Aaron’s party is the 9th, and the 16th is Dopereal. The following weekend is orientation at school. Robin ---

Weekends don’t usually work for me as Mr. Tech’s been going in most weekends until around 3 or so. You guys have fun, though. ---

C’mon, Baltimore-and-vicinity DoperBabes - are you gonna let the three of us have all the fun?? **Juanita** , I’d love to meet you during the week for lunch - I’ll take it to email and maybe we can work something out! ---

I don’t want to start any intra-city MAD rivalry or anything – but geez, Baltimoreans! I think Philly could probably get three Doper wimmens together _without having to bring two of them in from out of town_. **FCM, Anita** – we can get together and talk about the rest of those wusses. Sheesh! ---

Heck, if it’s just 3 of us (or even if 3 more show up), I’ll make us lunch on the boat, then we can walk to the museum - it’s just a couple of blocks away! ---

Okay. The 16th sounds good to me. I’m 90% sure I can wok it out. Our financial situation is tenuous right now, so whatever we do, the cheaper the better! ---

I’m always a big fan of cheap! Brown baggin’ works for me just as well as any restaurant. I see this being more about getting together and hanging out than about the food. 'Course that’s just me. ---

I’m down with brown-bagging! (sorry, just read the “I wanna be cool” thread, yo.) Fun and casual sounds good to me – I’d say potluck, but that requires someone to host and organize – let’s all just show up with our own sandwiches in some park somewhere and hang out and talk… ---

The 16th is great for me (it’s the only weekend in August that I’m not busy!:). I’ll be coming from Richmond, but I’ll probably drive up and stay with my best friend on Friday night so that I don’t have to get up at the crack of dawn on Saturday. And I’m good with whatever everyone decides for lunch, etc. All I ask is that I get good directions so that I’m not driving around lost all morning:). Ava ---

Boys, I’m scared. All the gals is sitting over there in the corner and occasionnally bursting into laughter. We’re in trouble. ---

**Ava** , I live in Falls Church. If your friend is in No.Va. we can drive to Baltimore together. I’m up for a potluck on the boat! Also, I’ve heard that the water taxi is the ultimate cheap thrill. We could throw that into the mix. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doper-wimmens-luncheon-in-baltimore/190001.md?page=2)
