[QUOTE=Tuckerfan] his requests include such things as the food be harvested by the light of the full moon, by non-menstrating 12 year olds who’ve never known men. 😛 [/QUOTE] Oh, I require all that too. Did I forget to mention? 😛 I love **StGermain** ’s idea. There are few things better than a fine craft beer at a brewpub, as long as the food measures up. ---

Bosco’s is good, and Blackstone on West End also has some good food and brews. ---

[QUOTE=drewbert] Bosco’s is good, and Blackstone on West End also has some good food and brews. [/QUOTE] Both of these sound good to me. Do we need to vote? I vote for Blackstone, but only because I think it is slightly less annoying to park there than in Hillsboro Village, and we probably need to make decision soon. ---

The last time I went past Blackstone’s it was _mobbed_, so we might want to get there early to beat the diner rush. ---

I don’t drink, either, Bosda, but it’s a restaurant that brews it’s own beer, not a bar. I’m sure Coke or tea is available. StG ---

Since I’ll be coming from Atlanta, does anyone know of a good place where I could spend the night afterwards? Or will there be an “afterwards” that isn’t synonymous with “daybreak on Sunday?” I don’t know how hard you Nashvillains party. ---

In checking Blackstone’s [website](http://www.blackstonebrewery.com/pub.html), it doesn’t look like they take reservations. I’ve got no objections to Blackstone, but I suggest we might want to have a backup plan in case we get there and it’s ubermobbed (which means we’ll need to have a contact number to check with). [Sitar](http://www.sitarnashville.com/) is located not too far from there and is pretty tasty if you like Indian food. Just a thought. Does 6PM work for everyone? ---

[/QUOTE] I just called them, and they do take reservations. I put us down for 6pm on the 18th. I guessed that we would have 20-35 people. We need to get a more accurate number to them in the next week. Also, if they are on a wait, they don’t hold the tables for more than 15 minutes. So if we say 30 people are coming, but only 20 people show up by 6:15, we lose those 10 seats. We might want to consider moving the time up to 5pm, as they are less likely to be busy at that time. Any further thoughts? ---

Just for tally’s sake, count me in anytime and anyplace. Whatever y’all decide is good by me. For a number count me as 2. (I’ll be bringing my wife.) ---

Put me down for 2 – provided it’s after 5:30 or so and no one is offended if LitHubby comes in his uniform (he’s dead sexy in it, by the by!). ---
