Well, I personally had a lovely time - it was great to meet everyone! Because I was the only one being “clocked”, I had to leave about 30 minutes after I got there.
Wring, wonderfully, had ordered my lunch for me so I did get a chance to eat.
Again, it was great to meet everyone and finally put some faces with names.

Me too! and yr welcome **BG** (and by the way the sweater is to die for!), what else could I do since you were so kind as to tell me what you wanted???
great fun, you got back sooner than I - I had to stop at my accountant’s office (who bears a striking resemblance to **RalfCoder** - only ultra conservative - it was kinda like being in an alternate universe)
will have to set it up again. Parking in EL is less of a nightmare on weekends, so we can do BW3 or whatever next time (I’d even do El Az, just would eat before I got there :D)
oh, and **Ralf** I forgot to tell you - Melting Moments? Guy who owns it? I’ve known him since we were 5… Pembroke Elementary School)

Hi, folks. Thanks for the good company for lunch, and for showing me a great restaurant. I’m going back, and I’ll be daring enough to go for the medium level of spice. ::a gasp goes up from the crowd. “Can he do it?”, one asks. “Oh, the horror - he has a wife and child!” says another::
I like the idea of BW3 for a lunchfest again.
KimKatt, Bangkok House to downtown Detroit is probably 90 miles, give or take. Want to squander a perfectly good day on bad company and meandering conversation? We’re just the people to do it with!
And the general concensus was that we should do a get-together on a weekend sometime after the holiday craziness is over, so that Persephone, xploder, KimKatt, and all you other dopers who live somewhere in the Land of the Giant Mitten can make a pilgrimage here. (Note to the Ann Arbor crowd - we won’t make you wear green and white, unless you lose a bet)
