Oh, yeah, I forgot…
I called Hooter’s today to make a reservation, and guess what! They don’t take reservations! Even for large parties.
So, what we’re gonna need to do is make sure as many of us are there as close to 1 pm as possible. I have to be at the Maul for training in the morning, so I can be there early and at least get the table.

I’m in NoDak. Keep me posted too . . .

Hooter’s, for those who haven’t read the entire thread, is on the 4th floor of the MOA on the East Side.
I will be there, looking utterly adorable in a denim jumper and I’ll have a copy of Virgil’s Aeneid with me. This is what I look like.
The table will be under the name of Cecil Adams, in any case.
Robin
Bump shabump shabiddlediddledee bump.
Please be there or kindly be square.
So tell me, LNO, how far away from being square was I? Was nice meeting you and racerx 
Was great seeing you again, Rysdad…and, dammit, I owe you a beer! Think I’d be so distracted by pinball that I wouldn’t notice?
Robin and Spider Woman and imthjckaz - was nice seeing you guys, too…will try not to be such a stranger.
hey Rysdad, I caught 2 Eelpouts today, a 27 incher and a 36 incher. Damned big. Damned Scary, and DAMNED ugly…
Everyone un-educated in the ways of the North, Eel pout look like… this the most disgusting fish I’ve ever seen… http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/information_and_education/publications/volunteer/articles/burbot_profile.html
imthjckaz and I enjoyed seeing msrobyn, chique, and Rysdad again, and it was very nice to meet LNO and racerx.
Ad Noctum was there in spirit, and he called afterwards from a fish house with tales of eelpouts, which, interestingly enough, Rysdad had just been telling us about yesterday afternoon. Minnesota men: ya gotta love 'em. (But not eelpouts.)

Wow. Those’re some big 'pouts, Ad. Outta get 'em mounted!
Yep, a good time was had by all at the Maul. Food, beer, air hockey, pinball, intelligent and funny conversation…it don’t get no better’n that.
And now I have a dopette indebted to me. Maybe at the next dope fest we can settle it on the pool table. ::evil grin::
I sure was nice to see you all. I hope we can get together sometime in the summer.
Rysdad
Had a great time at the fest. It was fun seein’ chique,msrobyn, and** Rysdad** again.
Rysdad, loved the chipmunk story.
It was also great to meet LNO and racerx.
Meeting at HOOTERS was also nice. LNO we have got to get that PECKERS restraunt idea some more thought.
racerx, we won’t tell anyone you picked up that Hooters application, I think you will fit in just fine.
I hope we do it again soon, when it’s a little warmer.
You can count on Spider Woman and I on being there.
Next time I’ll try to be not as tired.
See, I didn’t even mention that you guys thought there was something goin’ on with chique and Rysdad.
Gah! I have to remember I owe you a beer til summer?!? sigh
Well, on the other hand it’ll give me plenty of time to practice my pool-sharking skills 
Guess I’m square. 
I really need to get myself a car.
Hey all, that was a hooter-ific time! Thanks for being nice to a newbie. And ahem I thought we were going to keep my new profession a secret. Besides I still have to go to hooters college and learn how to get a tan in January, bang plates together, and how to ask banal questions like “Yeah, they put alot of fries on that didn’t they slightly cock head to right ?” Sorry I had to jet early, but my apartment is now almost completely livable. Can’t wait till the next one.
Yabbut racerx, you’ll be in the best possible position to eradicate ignorance, not to mention the exception that proves the rule; namely that all Hooter’s waitresses are airheads. (Methinks this is why they won’t take reservations. They can’t remember that far ahead.)
Seriously, tho… I’m gonna miss you guys. sniff Maybe you guys can have the next one in Duluth or something.
