Just got an email from davidm, who’s blowing us off. My non-Doper friend may be bringing a friend, though – we are tolerant people, are we not? – so we can leave it at seven total.
Cleophus – you’re still in, right?
Certainly!
What are the odds of y’all doing this in December on a Saturday so those of us from the provinces can come?

We’re trying to do this about once a month or so – December starts getting tricky, though, because of the holidays. You could let us know and we could set something up.
What about a dim-sum breakfast (brunch) in Chinatown? We had one of those last year, and it was pretty good.

Despite my disappointment that none of you gentlemen wanted to join in on the belly-dancing, I’d definitely call the evening a success. The two non-Dopers sitting to my left both had a good time and found us all entertaining people, and said they’d do it again – if InDisGuize wants to emerge from lurkerdom long enough, he can speak for himself.
A very fun evening – but let’s do pizza or something a little cheaper next time, okay?
twickster, did you spend your money on cute guy lap dances? :eek: I thought you had more control. 
dances, honey, you weren’t there – I had to amuse myself somehow!
Here are the Dopers who attended.
And here is the belly dancer who entertained us.
My thanks to all who attended.
For those who are keeping our dossiers up to date, from left to right we have Cleophus, quiltguy, InDisQuize, Scuba_Ben, twickster, twickster’s friend (who just posted over in Cafe Society as exeter), and twickster’s friend’s friend (who we haven’t lured in yet but I just sent her the link last night).
Had a great time on Saturday night. If I’d known we were being published, I’d have done something, just don’t know what. Diogenes[the first one, not he who is one of our more notable Dopers] may have been searching for an honest man, but if he’d been with us last night he could’ve helped us in our quest for some forks and spoons! Nothing wrong with a pizza bust next time,but if any of you hit the lottery big time, the treat’s on you, OK? Thanks again twickster for doing your usual wonderful job as our social director. Perhaps a larger crowd for our next outing, so we can be all raucous and stuff, and get asked to leave. See ya’
Bumping this for a test. Mods, please close and excuse the inconvenience.
And the test didn’t work. Oh well. I do get the pleasure of locking a zombie … think I’ll have a cigarette now.
