I’ll be in center city on Wednesday, June 15th, to go to a thing on NASA’s Pioneer program at the Rittenhouse Square Barnes and Noble at 7:00. (I’m not gonna try to promote that directly, 'cuz that would be wrong, but if you’d like additional info, my email address is in my profile).
Anyone want to have dinner before? I was thinking the Cosi at 19th and Walnut at 6:00. And of course, if y’all wanted to mosey over and hear about Pioneer after, well, that would be cool too.
The Cosi is at 19th and Walnut. :smack:
Okay, that was a straight typo.
18th and Walnut.

(Me and “preview” – we’re like that.

Anyone? Bueller?
Sorry - No can do. Too far to go on a weeknight.
i get out of work at 6pm. i wouldn’t get there in time.
You could still make the Barnes & Noble thing, if you were interested.
Sigh.
I’m choosing not to take this personally.
That’s good - It’s not. It’s just awkward timing, that’s all.
Oh sure, that’s what “they” told you to say. 
Shusssh!
We don’t want “them” to hear us…!
I have been in Cosi briefly. IMHO Overpriced yuppie food.
And the closest place to Rittenhouse Square for a quick bite.
There’s got to be another place nearby. Blast, one of the friends I went their with is usually online most of the day. Either, she’s been away from the computer today or she’s set her instant messenger to invisible. Or perhaps she’s online under a new alias she forgot to tell me about.
But, there has to be a restaurant (not a fast food place or chain, but an actual restaurant) within another block or two.
BTW When you’re near Rittenhouse square, note the odd pattern of bricks and the large statue of a toad. IIRC That toad looks directly at the pyramid building. Rittenhouse is a funky place.
Are you saying you’d come if it were somewhere other than Cosi? Because if you’re just dumping on Cosi for the sheer sport of it – at this point, the question is moot, since no one other than me is interested.
Depends. I usually get together with Verrain, True Pisces and Cleophus wednesday nights for gaming. However, I haven’t seen you in a while, and I could probably get at least Cleophus to come along. Pisces and Verrain may or may not be available (I’m guessing not) based on the whim of the embryo.
Even if it was just the two of us, I could small but interesting game (I’ve got 3-d chess!) or we could attempt to have a meaningful conversation speaking entirely of anagrams, or cryptic crossword clues.
eg
“Top is coy?”
“Dew hull”
“Wet ram roe?”
or perhaps
“Not bad, not ugly, green take too much (four letters)”
“Left in the heat too long, dog loses the first but leads five hundred and one(8 letters)”
I’ll be seeing you next month at Gettysdope (and there’s at least the possibility that I’ll be your ride for that) – but if you’d be interested in the Pioneer thing (a reading by my friend M., who has been to a couple of Doper gatherings – you were two seats down from him at Chili’s) – that would be great. Talk to Cleophus and let me know – my email address is in my profile, if you haven’t kept it.
