Yeahyeahyeah, I know this is **Gazelle’s** beat. It’s just that uni starts up in a couple of weeks and if we’re going to do this I’d like it done before the 7th. So. Hell’s Kitchen was brought up, I think? How’s 19 August work for everyone? ---

Unfortunately, I’m out, too. I took a new job and am swamped, going on vacation next week, and in training the week after. ---

It doesn’t work for me, either. This may be the time to mention that I’m moving out of state, so I won’t be participating in these for a while. This is one of the reasons that moving makes me sad. That said, I hope you all have a great time without me! ---

Let’s see… never been to a dope lunch, and I’ve never been to Hell’s Kitchen. On the other hand, I have the day off on Friday, and I don’t have anything else planned at the moment, so… Sure, why not? ---

The ad agency I work at does “Summer Hours”, which basically means we close at one on Fridays all summer long. Nice perk, but I can’t do lunch on Fridays until after 1. ---

Hmmm. Consensus says weekdays SUCK. I would, however, like to stick with the same weekend. What do y’all think about Sat the 20th or Sun the 21st? ---
