If i drive down to the Cities I’d likely want to spend the night, so a house or a hotel suite is prolly a good idea. ---

Groundhog day sounds good if I’m available. Things have been hectic lately and my schedule is iffey at best. The mall sounds good to me if not for the variety of bars in a close proximity than anything else. ---

Yeah, that’s it! There’s the new arcade place on the same level. Anyone up for a pinball challenge? ---

I’m just across the border in Aberdeen and if I can get the time off from work…well, put me down as a maybe. As it involves acohol and the MOA, my lurker roommate will undoubtably be interested as well… so I guess that makes two maybes. ---
