Glad that I wasn’t placed on the **Don’t Call** list. Had you folks wanted to gather, I’d have been absent ☹ owing to rental lift equipment failure that caused a normal 2 hour hot service cable change to morph into an all day adventure. I didn’t finish until 8 PM. :grr: I’m back in Phila next week, and should be able to play. 😃 ---

Ick. Maybe it was a good thing we didn’t meet. We’ll see what we can do for the following week. Did you notice the Dim Sum thread for Saturday, the 21st, btw? Family friendly… 😉 ---

It’s been over a month since we’ve last gotten together and I think it’s about time we try to get together again. I would be up for this Friday (I know it’s a little short notice) if anyone wants to get together. I’d say we could put it off until next Friday, but I’m going to the White Stripes concert that night, so I wouldn’t have the time to do it. Though, if y’all wanted to get together next Thursday night, I’d be up for that as well. I know we have several people new to the area, so I’m hoping they’ll be able to join us as well. ---

I’m gonna have to see what happens. Drexel has had this recent problem with doing those little things like pay me. Don’t count me out just yet. 🙂 ---

This Friday will be out for me-prior commitment. I’ll recheck this thread over the weekend to see what the plans are. Be well, all. ---

Now that my schedule has opened up, I can start attending these dinners! [Homer]Woo-hoo![/Homer] I should be okay for Thursday the 24th; this Friday is a “perhaps.” Also, Weird Al is at the Mann Center THIS Saturday night! Anybody want to do dinner there before the concert? ---

Hi, local Dopers. I’m in Collingswood, NJ (just across the river) and though I’ve been here\* a while, I’ve never ventured out to a Doper event. (Yes, I’m a bit shy with people I’ve not met. ☹ ) Anyway, I’m sure I’d enjoy meeting up with you all. So, if you think you’d like another new face…I’m available this Friday and perhaps next Thursday. (The “plus” side of being newly underemployed.) (Whew - that wasn’t as hard as I thought. Now if I can just get myself to hit “Submit”…) :holds breath and … : - both the Boards and the Philly area ---

I could do Friday – Thursday is problematical for us “Amazing Race” addicts. (Please come, **wireless** – we all feel a little weird the first time, but it’s fun, really!) ---

Looks like it’s Friday then (sorry **danceswithcats** , you’ve been out-voted.) As a suggestion for a new place, I found [Finnigan’s Wake](http://www.finnigans.com/frame-silent.htm) with an online search for Irish restaurants in Philly. This place is located at 3rd & Spring Garden and they claim to have ample parking and nearby public transportation. Any thoughts? ---

Friday has become good for me as well. 😃 Feel free to come out **Wireless** we’re a pretty friendly group and it would be pretty safe to assure you of a good time. ---

Finnegan’s Wake sounds good to me, **Frank** – so it’s 6:30, Friday the 18th, at Finnegan’s Wake? ---

Works for me. I’ll try to remember to take the train in tomorrow so I can have more time before I have to drive. Want to meet me at my building (31st & Market) around 5ish? ---

That shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll see if I can grab Rich around then as well. Of course, that will give us a chance for a drink or three before hand… 😉 ---
