How about it? Summer’s comin’… May? June? ---

Count me in. I have returned from the “banned” purgatory, reputation intact, and I am thirsty. Let’s work on a date. ---

I’m in. My weekends in May are pretty booked, but I’m good for June. Larger, but good. Robin ---

OK! We’ve got three of us…(threads of this nature are notorious for being bumped). ---

I would, if I had a car. (bump) ---

That part of the equation can be dealt with, **Daoloth**. Are you a minor (important in picking a venue)? No problem, we just need to accommodate that. ---

Nah, exclude me for convience sake. Finaly in May, job during the summer, etc. etc. ---

I’ll think about going. I could have pretty much any Saturday available, but I don’t like smoking, drinking, or loud noise so it really just depends on the venue whether I decide to come or not. I’ve been pretty busy lately, though, so don’t plan for me. ---

Perhaps suggest something more interesting than dinner somewhere. If I think of anything, I will let you know. ---

Somewhere where we can smoke, drink, and get loud would be cool. ---

Hey Ringo! How the hell have you been? Long time no see. I would like to suggest a place that would accomodate the non-smokers as well. Something that has outdoor seating perhaps? I’m fine with drinking and loud noice. 😃 ---

Hey \*\*Bubble Girl[/b[, good to hear from you! Yeah, with decent weather someplace with a deck might work out for everyone. ---

A nice, well ventalated place would rule. As far as drinking, well, you don’t really HAVE to drink (I usually don’t), and I can assert that the HouDopers are not a bunch of obnoxious drunks. We’re just obnoxious (_Insert smiley…here_). A return to Cafe Adobe (Upstairs, Sealemon! UPSTAIRS!) would be cool. Sherlock’s would be fun, but there’s that whole loud noise/drinking/smoking thing again. Are there any cool festivals going on in June? And a step to the right! ---

Yeah, I’m still here, and I’m gonna also vote for accommodations for non-smokers and non-drinkers. “Yo! A beer for me, and a milk for the kid!” Robin ---
