Okay, I’m going to bump this baby back onto the first page. I am confused. What I’m seeing now is: Friday, May 14 DopeLunch at either Brit’s, Marketplace, or Hell’s Kitchen (all downtown Minneapolis). At noon? And/Or Friday, May 28 DoperHappyHour at Brit’s. When does happy hour begin there (as in drink specials)? What time then shall we meet if we decide on that (much more likely for me; I have a final at 10:30 AM on the 14th). Wooh! I’m late for class!

Oooooooooooh. I’m likin’ that DopeHappyHour thing, especially since I’m finally working again so I won’t be able to make it to lunch any more. And. I am NOT on call the week of the 28th! Yay! Can we make this work somehow? Pleasepleaseprettyplease? ---

Sorry. Didn’t mean to corn-fuse ever-one. I say we do both. Hell’s Kitchen on Friday, May 14 at noon. They take reservations. RSVP in this thread so I can do dat. 89 S. 10th Street, Minneapolis Brit’s on Friday, May 28 after work. 1110 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis Is everyone down like clowns in the underground? I’ll start up a thread on the happy hour a couple of weeks before. ---

The 14th and/or the 28th might be doable. I’m training new people at work, but maybe I can skip out on them for a few hours and hope they don’t kill anybody. We’ll see. ---

Well… Can I at least **drive** on 10th St.? I can, right? I’m pretty sure I’ve been down that way before. I’ll start looking for a babysitter for the Happy Hour thing, too. Put me down as a definite maybe. You know how I hate commitments. But I will say I’ve printed the driving directions from [randmcnally.com](http://randmcnally.com). ---

OK, count me in for the lunch. The happy hour thing is iffy, but I’ll see closer to the time. And there’s an address, so I think I can find it. What’s parking like? ---

Okay, I can’t make lunch, but I’m gung-ho on happy hour. So I’ll see everyone who can make it on the 28th. (This is kind of exciting. I’ve never met people from the internet IRL. My mom would be so worried!) ZJ ---

I stopped by Brit’s around 5:20 and 5:40. I walked inside and outside, but didn’t recognize any Dopers. Which either means that none were there or my memory for faces is worse than I thought. ---

I was there from 4:30 to 5, then I had to leave. Didn’t see anybody. Sometimes it sucks to be a member of a secret society… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-need-of-some-doper-love-minneapolis-dopelunch-redux/243350.md?page=1)
