I didn’t think my wife would be interested, but she said sure, why not. So count me in for two. ---

Still on! We need to decide where? Maybe start with a general area and narrow down venues from there? Doesn’t someone live in Lawrence? ---

Yeah, that’s me. Do we want to meet up in Lawrence instead? I could look into renting a park shelter for half a day if we want to have a cookout, or there are a number of brewpubs in town where we could meet. Heck, if the group is small enough we could meet at my house and just hang out on the deck. ---

Or we could meet up at IKEA in Kansas City for a game of hide-and-seek! 😃 [https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=882112](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=882112) ---

Brewpub, brewpub, brewpub!!! Or cookout, but brewpub would be cooler. ---

> [@Baker](#): > > Brewpub, brewpub, brewpub!!! Or cookout, but brewpub would be cooler. Sounds like “brewpub” is at the top of the list at the moment 🙂 I’ve only been to Free State, but I’d get are other fine establishments something new would be juuuust fine. ---

Lots of brewpub choices in Lawrence now. You can’t go wrong with Free State, although it’s often crowded. There’s 23rd St. Brewing Co out on the west side of town. Lawrence Beer Co is a new-ish brewpub east of downtown in the old warehouse area they’ve been rehabbing the last few years. And a brand new shiny brewpub called Fields &Ivy just opened on east 23rd this summer. ---

I’d be ok with that. While there’s nothing wrong with the two newer ones, they do seem a little more “trendy”. ---

> **[Home - 23rd Street Brewery - Lawrence, KS](https://www.brew23.com/)** > > Beers, menus, specials & more for 23rd Street Brewery. Do believe we have settled on this place. Looks like a total of 5? I can call and make a reservation. Early to avoid a rush?? ---

How early were you thinking? Looks like there is a home football game at 11 am on 10/5 vs Oklahoma. We might have to deal with game day / post game crowds if we go _too_ early. I’m flexible though, any time is good for me. ---

I am flexible. Whatever works best for the most is fine. All for one, and one for all! The only problem is I won’t be able to bring cookies as I would assume bringing in outside food to a pub is a no-no. I guess I could distribute them outside. Furtively, like it’s something underhanded.
