Dammit, if it were Thursday, I could go. But I can’t go on Saturday. ☹ I’ll be in Colorado, desperately seeking a job. _sigh_ Have fun without me, though. ---

Bump. I’m off work that day, so I’m down for any plans, before, during, and maybe after the show. ---

Hmmm… I could manage a brief outing, if people are going to hang out a bit before the show. ---

I might be able to make it to this one. Pencil me in as a maybe. Upgrade it to a definetly if anyone can give me a lift from Marin County. ---

What is a BAD? I’ve seen the term before but I think something led me to believe that it meant **B** altimore **A** rea **D** opers. Obviously not the case here since you guys are all from CA. Is it Bay-Area Dopers? ---

We still of course don’t have a meeting place for socializing, if anyone has a favorite. Oh, sure, whatever. I vote for 7 pm then. Actually if anyone wants to meet earlier still I might just BART to the city straight from work and do some Christmas shopping. So I’d be loose in the city at like… 2:30 or 3. Or I might get lazy and go home first instead. As for location, any of the Embarcadero Center hot spots mentioned by **vv** previously work for me. If we’re not meeting till 9 I might just take a pass. I’m an early riser these days and I tend to get pooped by 10 or 11 so I might not even be that much fun if it’s that late. > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by \*\*Snooooopy \*\*\* > If my job search takes a turn for the positive this week, then probably.

Hey, **Lightning** , I’ll meet you earlier if you want. We can gallivant around, you can shop, and then we can catch the rest of the BADs. ---

We can gallivant around, you can shop, and then we can catch the rest of the BADs. \*\* I’m up for meeting early as well as far as I know. Let me know what you decide. I suppose we could meet at the BART station in front of the Old Navy again? **Troy McClure** come tell us which show you wanted to go to! (I think people seem to be leaning towards the 9 o’clock show and meeting around 7ish?) I nominate the Fuzio for dinner/socializing if it’s still there. I know some of you are sick of meeting at Chevy’s/Uno’s. It’s up top right across from the movie theater entrance. (I think that’s Embarcadero One?) ---

Yes. The show is at **9 PM**. Meeting and hanging out can frame that on both ends, but let’s say **7 PM**. Sorry, I’ve been sick. Again, tix can be gotten through my website, in my sig. ---

Hmm… on second thought, Saturday at 9 seems to be **sold out**. But since few of us seemed to be interested in the show anyway, we can skip the show on Saturday, and I guess Lewis-Black-wanting Dopers are on our own. ---

Hahahaha, every time I get a telemarketing call now I’m going to say: “Is this Snoooooopy?!?!?” Even to the women! Well, do we still want to get together at 7:00 at the Embarcadero Fuzios then? I know White Lightning and I will be in the city as we have some “business” to conduct. Fuzios is indeed in Embarcadero One. Here’s a map and directions, along with parking garage info. (You’ll probably be able to park on the street for free though – the weekends are pretty slow in the financial district.) [http://www.embarcaderocenter.com/md/index\_md.html](http://www.embarcaderocenter.com/md/index_md.html) And Fuzio’s website if anyone wants to inspect the menu, etc. [http://www.fuzio.com/index.htm](http://www.fuzio.com/index.htm) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mini-badfest-lewis-black/140030.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mini-badfest-lewis-black/140030.md?page=3)
