I wasn’t able to get in earlier today, I was suffering hampster lag. Tuesday the 13th is good, as long as dinner involves breads. California Pizza Kitchen, anyone? It’s at the King of Prussia Court. ---

Can a South Philly Doper get in on this? I promise I’ll be good, and maybe some homemade CC cookies as a bri…, er bonus? I’m on vacation the week of the 28th, so Tuesday the 30th at K of P is good for me. ---

**quiltguy** – you’d definitely be welcome, even without the cookies. (Well, not as welcome as with, but hey, we’re only human.) Unfortunately, it looks like we’re giving up on next week – could you make the 13th? ---

The 13th at California Pizza Kitchen sounds good to me. And **quiltguy154** you’re welcome with or without the cookies. The more the merrier. Dave ---

Tuesday, Apr. 13th is good for me. There are lots of options at the KofP sprawl, including Rock Bottom Brewing, the aforementioned California Pizza Kitchen, Blue Pacific Sushi, Bamboo Club, Ruby’s Diner, Cosi, etc. Um, is it lunch time yet? ---

**bump** Let’s start pinning this puppy down – Tuesday the 13th at California Pizza Kitchen at King of Prussia. Time – 6:30 sound right? And where exactly is this? I **never** go to K of P, so fairly specific directions (from, say, the Schuylkill – I’ll be doing Blue Route to Schuylkill unless someone tells me otherwise) would be helpful. Who’s in? ---
**Author:** ![Scuba\_Ben](https://avatars.discourse-cdn.com/v4/letter/s/278dde/32.png) [@Scuba\_Ben](https://boards.straightdope.com/u/Scuba_Ben)\ **Post date:** [April 9, 2004, 4:16pm UTC](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/microdope-for-the-nw-philly-burbs/227532/47 "2004-04-09T16:16:42Z")
Because of traffic on 76, I suggest 7 pm. Directions: Blue Route to 76 W (the Schuylkill). At the 202 interchange, stay on the right side when the road divides – but don’t wind up on 202 N. Go past the exit for 202 S, and take the exit for Mall Blvd. At the light, turn left. At the 2nd (I think) light, turn left. This will put you behind the Court. Bear right onto Allendale Rd., and turn right into the parking garage. California Pizza Kitchen is at that end of the mall, on the upper level. Alternate route: Ridge Ave. or Germantown Pike into Norristown, and take 202 South through King of Prussia. Cross Allendale Rd., and turn right into the parking garage. ---

7:00 at CA Pizza Kitchen it is. ---

7 PM at California Pizza Kitchen sounds good to me. In case anyone doesn’t know, it’s in the Court rather than the large mall. Dave ---

Thanks for the kind invites. Tuesdays are out for me, it’s my late evening at work. Perhaps they’ll be a Sunday Dope at a future point. The cookies are on hold 'til then. Have fun. ---

Bummer, **quiltguy**! Is there a weeknight that tends to be better for you? We can take that into account when we schedule BurbDopeIII. The original Tuesday night was arbitrary, and we just went for it again since it seemed to work for people. ---

**bump** (and, btw, thanks for the directions, **Scuba\_Ben**!) See everyone tomorrow at 7! ---

Sorry, folks, I won’t be able to make it tonight. I just logged on to let you know, and then it’s back to my sick nest in front of the TV. At least I get the pleasure of missing work with this bug, while my wife had it over the Easter holiday. Oh well, hope to make it next time. ---

Sorry you’re not feeling well, **John** – if it’s the flu going around my office, it’s darned unpleasant. **Ben, David** – should we just reschedule? This rain is supposed to continue into this evening, and I haven’t done my taxes yet. (Oh, hush!) ---

**twickster** , I just got your email. At this point I have no other plans for dinner tonight so it’s fine by me if it’s just the 3 of us. Otherwise I’ll be eating alone. Let me know what you guys want to do. Dave ---

I’m still in. I want my pizza! 😛 (that’s a guy eating pizza) **John** , I hope you get well soon. ---

Then I’m coming even if it’s just **Scuba\_Ben** and I. I’ve also been looking forward to the pizza! **twickster** , can you let us know if you’re going to be there? We should all meet in the front of the restaurant. **JohnM** , sorry to hear that you’re not feeling well. I’m sure you’ll recover, and hopefully we’ll see you next time! Dave ---

Okay, I’m in too. See you guys in front of the restaurant at 7. (If I get there early, I’m going to wander around the mall.) ---

Who cares about doing taxes anyway!
