Sounds good.

There is potential weather Thursday night into Friday. Hopefully it won’t amount to much or will be gone by evening, but we should keep an eye on it.

Yes, which means you aren’t prepared for St. Louis drivers.

And that seems like the perfect segue for this link: [Driving in St. Louis](http://www.allowe.com/laughs/book/Driving%20in%20St%20Louis.htm)

So, we’re all set for tomorrow? Reservations under Cecil?

I tried to make reservations, they do not take them.

I’ll be there a little early, and try to remember name tags.

Ok. I’ll be the short guy with the beard and black coat looking around aimlessly.

We may be running a bit behind, with the snow – we’ll be the late twenties couple looking terribly relieved to have found a backup babysitter!

Thanks to everyone who came, we had a great time, and Mission Taco was very,very good. It’s always fun to put faces to names, and I love the 'dope community because of the variety of individuals, yet we all have a lot in common. Not sure if I’ve met a '99er before!

My only complaint was that you all completely undersold the City Museum. Completely undersold. Even though the outside was closed, that was the most interesting and fun museum I’ve ever been to. 3 story jungle gym, architectural exhibits and child circus performers. Trifecta!

We were late to the airport, we were having so much fun.
