Personally, I would _love_ to do another Roscoe’s gathering since so few people were able to make it last time. However, I am not (necessarily) interested in pushing my own agenda, so please throw out some ideas, people! Sushi? =^.^= I personally don’t care where we go. ---

My middle son has his last baseball game of the season that day (I am one of the coaches too), and probably a pizza party afterwards that goes with it…I’m guessing that it would be done by about 3pm. I probably wouldn’t be available until about 5pm on that day…but I would make the effort to go…and maybe **ctywkr** and I could carpool down that way. ---

I am perfectly amenable both to the idea of sushi and (obviously) the idea of it being a dinner affair. So unless anyone objects, we should start trying to narrow it down to a location… ---

> [@Asimovian](#): > > I am perfectly amenable both to the idea of sushi and (obviously) the idea of it being a dinner affair. > > So unless anyone objects, we should start trying to narrow it down to a location… Well, if we want sushi…the valley has lots and lots of really good Sushi places. And I am not saying that just because I now live in the Valley. Nope. Not at all. Also, I am always down with Roscoe’s. Since that was brought up as well. ---

I’m going to pre-emptively say no. I suspect I’ll be up in mountain view that weekend. ---

Seems fine by me! **scout1222** and the rest of the San Diego Dopers who may come, maybe we should carpool? Orange County Dopers, too, for that matter. > [@scout1222](#): > > I’m a lover, not a fighter.

As for me, I’ve never been to Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles, so I’m curious. I’d be down to try it. Sushi is fine too. ---

Tentatively, I am interested. Carpool from SD is good too. However, I have been known to poop-out at the last minute for these things. Must keep energy up! ---

I’ve never been to Roscoe’s either, and I know my husband would be interested in trying it out, so this could be a good excuse to get up there finally. I didn’t realize there were multiple locations - which one are we looking at? [sub]Long Beach, Long Beach, Long Beach[/sub] ---

The odds of talking my wife into coming with go down if we are looking at Long Beach though. ---
