11am football game should be over around 2. If we shoot for 3:30 or 4 that should be late enough for the game day crowd to clear out and early enough to beat the dinner crowd. ---

> [@Sicks\_Ate](#): > > Still in? Unlikely in the extreme. Thanks for thinking of me but Life is happening in rapid and extreme ways for me right now. I’m not going to be able to give any kind of sure answer until probably a day or two before the event. It’s probably best to just move forward without me. ---

Shit. Just ran across this thread. I’m just over two hours from Lawrence, and I’d be thrilled to join you. But we’re leaving on the 4th on vacation and will be gone for over a week. You folks have fun! ---

It’s on! So, how do we recognize or identify each other when we get there? I was thinking I could get there a little early and get a table for five for “Adams”… ---

**Shoeless** , any idea if Uber or Lyft are the better option in Larry? ---

This is the day. I’ve written down directions so I can find it. I’m also starting early so if I do get lost I’ll have time to locate it. Then I could also hit Brits and Wheatfields. Will the table be reserved for Adams, as has been suggested? ---

Ok I just called them, they are not taking reservations but she didn’t think there would be much of a wait by 4 pm, maybe 15-20 minutes tops. So I will try to get there about 3:45 and will try to get a table or get on the waiting list under “Adams”. If anyone else gets there before me, please do the same! ---

Thanks **Baker** and **Sicks Ate** for taking the time to get together yesterday. We had a blast! Definitely need to plan for something a little larger come spring-ish.
