I’m down for the mini-fest in AA on the 12th. Then maybe a couple weeks later, will have one here. ---

Reasonably priced, delicious food in an Irish pub on main street. And no way in hell I’m coming to Ann Arbor without eating at one of their tasty restaurants. 😛 ETA: Suggestion is for mini-fest on the 12th… I’m getting confused when we’re talking about which fest… ---

Conor O’Neal’s sounds fine to us for the mini-fest on the 12th. ---

> [@Nawth\_Chucka](#): > > **sobs remembering Conor O’Neil’s mussels in cream sauce and hard cider on tap from her Utah purgatory** It’s the corned beef and cabbage for me. But yeah. Honestly, compared to Ann Arbor, the food in Jersey sucks. ---

We’re good with any time this Sunday for the pre-dopefest in Ann Arbor. For the dopefest with **cmyk** , Saturdays are better than Fridays since I work until 8 pm during the week for the rest of this month.
