Rank has its privileges. 😛 If we’re meeting in Nashville then I’d put in a vote for PitS too. If we’re headed north, maybe one of the chinese places. ---

[QUOTE=drewbert] Rank has its privileges. 😛 If we’re meeting in Nashville then I’d put in a vote for PitS too. If we’re headed north, maybe one of the chinese places. [/QUOTE] Well, let me throw out a couple of things that may help people make up their minds. First, is that I don’t really know much, of anything about the Chinese places in Hendersonville. The Panda one is supposed to be pretty good. In Gallatin, however, [there is one](http://yellowpages.superpages.com/profile~SRC_comwp~C_chinese~STYPE_S~L_Gallatin+TN+37066~R_N~CID_493894~LID_w0Twye4Joqw2Mp2B6O5wbg%3D%3D~lbp_1.htm) that the last time I ate there had a ginormous all you can [del]glutton[/del] eat buffet with _sushi_ that was a mere $10 a head. Last, and IMHO, least (I only mention it as it might inspire a few more folks to speak up), is that the 25th will be my 39th birthday. ---

Nope. Unless some gentle soul here is kind enough to give me a lift, I’ll be unable to attend. ---

**Tuckerfan** - I’ll give you a lift. You’ll have to PM me with directions, though. I get lost easily. Start from I-24 in M’boro. StG ---

We’re at Ft. Arnold now, it’s lovely up here with the leaves changing! And I got trapped in our bathroom about 5 minutes after we checked in. Suffice to say that when the Zombie attack comes (and it _will_ come), I’m hiding in that bathroom. ---

Hm. For some reason, I’d assumed PitS was close to downtown, like near 12th South. We’re talking Lenox Village, aren’t we? I may need a ride after all. **Brynda** , still coming? ---

Sure, RickQ and I will give you a ride, Drewbert. Email me and we can work out the details. ---

Ok, which Pie in the Sky do we mean? It looks like there is one in Cool Springs and one in Lennox Village. We can do either. My guess is that the Cool Springs one will be easier for most people to find–it is right next to the mall, so how hard can that be? [http://www.pieintheskypizza.com/pslocations.html](http://www.pieintheskypizza.com/pslocations.html) In terms of time, we can be there anytime after 6:30 or 7:00. ---

On the other hand, we are talking Black Friday. Maybe Lenox Village is a better idea. 🙂 ---

I’ve been to the Cool Springs one, and they tend to get jammed early, so I’m thinking the Lenox one might be the better bet. ---

Lenox it is. What time? How does 7:00 sound? ---

That will work for us as well! We don’t know yet what we’ll be doing today, maybe the Zoo or just walking around down on Broadway, etc. I want to get to Ernest Tubb’s at the very least. I saw that \*\*cosmosdan \*\* is a Nashvillian, has anyone met him? ---

Yeah, **cosmodan** is a middle Tennessean, as are **missred** , **Zoe** and **Zeldar**. They were at the last dopefest. Sorry if I forgot anyone. I blame the heavy carb loading yesterday. **cub mistress** can’t make it. General lameness (hey, she is my sister, I can say that). ---

Well, shit. My sister just called from the MD’s office. What we thought was just my mom having a cold with congestion is looking like heart problems. She can’t stay alone, which means she will be staying with me and RickQ, which means we have to cancel for tonight. **Drewbert** , I am so sorry. Any chance someone else can pick him up? ---

We’re staying at Arnold AFB (south of town on I-24), and depending on your location, may be able to work something out. . . Tripler We’ve figured out directions to PitS, and will see what we can do.
