You know, we really could do the Saturday dinner at Reuben’s. They have a little bit of everything there. If you haven’t been to the one on Peel & Ste-Cath in a while, they’ve completely changed the decor to faux-upscale. 😛 So I’m wondering if the **Doorses** will still be making it, if **iampunha** and **Fizzes** will be coming up with them… **Kwyjibo** and **Trinity** … **Mnementh** … other random yet fabulous Dopers from the Greater Toronto region (now out of quarantine!) … Y You know who you are. ---

**Mnem** could drive his new fancy car out. 🙂 Oh, and re: me being there Fri or Sat… the jury’s still out. I’m trying to figure out who all’s going to be at this wedding; if it’s going to be a big reunion of sorts I’ll want to be there. ---

Just stickin’ my head in to say that I _might_ be able to make Doperéal, but my scheudle is chatoic and hard to predict. Every time I schedule a trip to Montreal, something comes up… _sigh_ so I refuse to commit lest I jinx myself! If I say “no, I’m NOT going” then I’m sure my schedule will free up and I can go. ---

you choose say 3 “off the shelf” beers (Bud, MGD, what have you)and 2 “premium” beers that have national distribution. I do the same. That should give us a fair sample, no? ---

Ooh, ooh! Is someone still driving from Ottawa? (And driving back, as I have a plane to catch the 18th). I live in Winchester (aprox. 30 min south). I know I’m new, but can I come anyways? ---

ok, sounds good, though I wonder if it’s worth comparing ‘off the shelf’ ones. I mean really, do you want to sit and debate which is better, Molson or Bud? Kind of like deciding which band is better, Poison or Pantera. ---

Sounds good. I don’t even know if I could name a single Pantera song. ---

The Doorses (at least Mrs. Doors; Mr. Doors isn’t sure he can get permission from the Guard to leave the U.S.) are planning to attend, at least as of right now. Oh, and Airman LOVES Pantera. Robin ---
