[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] Isn’t it still snowing up there? _shiver_ [/QUOTE] Nope, the snow’s been gone for at least a couple weeks. But still… not sure it’s safe for you trolls. There’re trees and lakes and nature up here! ---

[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] So, it’s not snowing? Where do all the moosesses and penguins go then? [/QUOTE] They hang out in the lake. It’s still pretty damn cold. It’s kinda fun to see all the moose and penguin parties on the beach at night, when it’s cool out. Plus, they have great beer. Seriously. Those penguins, they got the right attitude. ---

How do we feel about a dinner in Ann Arbor? I’d like to get the eastsiders and westsiders involved, but I don’t know how far west you are. Of course, if you wanna come to the diner down the street, I’ll be cool with that, too. ---

[QUOTE=Athena] And why do you assume that **cymk** was trying to show the lower peninsula? He never said ANYthing about that. I’m getting really sick of the peninsulist behaviors you people exhibit. BOTH peninsulas can be shown using one’s hands; assuming that one is favored over another is blatant peninsulist behavior. 😃 So when are youse guys coming up? I have this sneaking feeling that **cymk** didn’t look at my location tag before he shouted “WHEN” at me. 🆒 [/QUOTE] You’re right, I didn’t look until after… but I had the opposite reaction than you think… part of the awesomness of living in such a grand state is driving up to the UP and soak in the love. It kicks ass up there. Count me in. And I’m for Equality in Upper Extremity Peninsular Representation (UEPR)… Pronounced Yooper. Wait. Fuck. ---

I haven’t been to Ann Arbor in quite a while, it would be nice to get back there again. As long as this doesn’t take place in the last two weeks of June I should be able to attend. I love Mongolian Barbeque, if there is a good place in Ann Arbor I would certainly cast my vote for that. ---

Yeah, let’s start talking dates here. Here’s what’s out. Last two weeks of June are out, and before July for the\*\* Lendervedder\*\*, correct? ---

I assume Pizza House has a place to sit and eat. I always just got deliveries from them. You better apologize!!! Please don’t hit me, sir. ---

[QUOTE=Least Original User Name Ever] I assume Pizza House has a place to sit and eat. I always just got deliveries from them. You better apologize!!! Please don’t hit me, sir. [/QUOTE] Naw, I’m a pacifist. And apparently overly appologetic! That said, don’t make me ninja your ass! If the Pizza House doesn’t have dining, then let’s just pick a place that serves good beer. That’s always a pleaser. ---

I’m not so sure Pizza House does beer. Hm. I know Mongolian Barbeque does alcoholic beverages. Nope, I take that back. [Pizza House](http://www.pizzahouse.com/Beverages.aspx?CategoryID=37) will happily get you drunk. **'Mika** , **Athena** …you’ll be there in spirit…and on speakerphone, if you so desire. ---

Hmm…I was going to nominate Grizzly Peak, but I see you have already decided. If I can make it, I will. Lots of other commitments, though. ---

Never heard of [Grizzly Peak](http://www.pubcrawler.com/Template/ReviewWC.cfm/flat/BrewerID=1673), but if we wish to sample the ale there, we certainly can. I’m not married to Pizza House.
