My understanding is that the Melting Pot can run $20-$40 per person, so yeah, perhaps the Mongolian Grill, then. For afterwards, perhaps Flannagan’s or the Dub Pub (or B-W’s)? ---

If your email is listed or if you’ve emailed me, directions will be going out this afternoon. This is looking like it’s gonna be a fun one. ---

Oh, here’s another idea for Friday night: **Dave & Busters**. ---

My parents are throwing a party Friday night, and I’m expected to attend, but I’m still planning on driving down to hang with all you guys on Saturday. Whee! So I have jammies and a costume…should I bring both? Only one? Wimp out and wear normal clothes? ---

Sorry, Sat only for me. If my sister still lived up there might have, but as it is, the house up there is in use by the renters, such cheek. 🙂 ---

Is there anywhere planned (or suggested) that would be off-limits for someone who is not 21 yet? I finally got past that little hurdle [insert tired sigh] but **fizzy** has a bit yet to go before that happens. IIRC in NYC, they started carding at a certain hour, and same with Chicago ('s how tiggs and I managed to get into the Wild Goose). 's looking like we’ll be there only Saturday, though at least we don’t have to drive there and back in one day:) ---

**Punha** , I called Cosmo’s Grill and whoever answered said only that after 9p.m. you had to be 18 to get in. So… that’s all I know about that. I still have a futon or floor space for whoever needs it. I’m so looking forward to drunken debauchery… 😃 ---

Did I mention that the person with the best costume/pj’s wins a prize? A real, honest to goodness prize, and not some white elephant (though I’ve got those to give out, too.) ---

I may not be able to make it. I woke up this morning and got to learn the fun that is a kidney stone. If I am up to the travel, I’ll make it, if not, I’ll be at home in bed whimpering. ---

Wow, and I _need_ a new digital camera. It’s too bad that creativity in re costumes is not my strong suit. **Samclem** , Columbus _is_ northern Ohio. Are you trying to tell me that there is something north of that? **Vanilla** , I’ve sent you an e-mail but got no response. Did you receive it? Also, I will likely only attend on Saturday night. Unless there is something so cool on Friday night that it’s worth it to drive 100 miles north, then back south for the day Saturday, then back north, you get the picture. ---

Okay, looks like no one is going to be in town for things tonight, so I’ll just take those 5 $10 Dave & Busters coupons myself and have a good’ol time. Tomorrow, though, we’re set. I spoke to the owner of Cosmo’s again and he said we’re golden. ---

Just want to confirm, Cosmo’s sometime around 6 pm? My daughter’s soccer is in the afternoon so I could be a little late, but shouldn’t be _too_ late. ---

Ah yes, I’m patiently waiting on **Quix** to pick me up so we can go watch football. And this evening… Drinking and debauchery! Yay!
