Only a week and a day away! Just heard from my friend M, who’s come to several of these dinners; he’s got us pencilled in. That would make the list: **cainxinth Cleophus Doc Cathode Koldanar** + 1 **MsRobyn NinjaChick ryobserver twickster** + 1 **ultrafilter** Possibly **jayjay** and **supervenusfreak**. Day: Saturday March 22nd Time: 6 PM Place: Pietro’s, 1714 Walnut Street, Phila. ---

We have to bow out, unfortunately. We have a scheduling conflict that I forgot about until **supervenusfreak** reminded me today when I asked him about going to the dinner. I guess we’ll see some of you at Gettydope then! ---

Bummer! Better luck next time … And another “bummer” – just got a PM from **Koldanar** , who’s thinking of wussing. I told him a last-minute change of heart would be okay, so maybe he’ll still show. **cainxinth Cleophus Doc Cathode Koldanar** + 1 – iffy. **MsRobyn NinjaChick ryobserver twickster** + 1 **ultrafilter** Day: Saturday March 22nd Time: 6 PM Place: Pietro’s, 1714 Walnut Street, Phila. Dunno if they take reservations or not, will call them probably Saturday to give that a try. If anyone would like my cell number, PM me – if you think you already have it, you probably don’t, since I switched numbers a month or two ago. **Note – it’s not too late to say “yes!” Hope there are a few fence sitters out there who decide to join us.** ---

Still in the calendar, but now I have the address! I’ll also make a note to leave at 2 p.m. or so to account for the hellacious Surekill traffic. And as long as nothing comes up, the lovely and talented (well, _I_ think so) Airman Doors and possibly the sprog will be joining me. 🙂 Robin ---

Final bump. My friend M will not be joining us … making the list look like this: **cainxinth Cleophus Doc Cathode Koldanar** + 1 – iffy. **MsRobyn, Airman Doors** , and Aaron **NinjaChick ryobserver twickster** **ultrafilter** Day: Saturday March 22nd Time: 6 PM Place: Pietro’s, 1714 Walnut Street, Phila. ---

We’re kid-free for the evening. Let the debauchery and stuff begin! Robin ---

Shoot, I’m going to have to bow out of this one. A friend of mine is in town for one night only, and since I haven’t seen him in a few months and probably won’t see him again for another few months, he’s going to take priority. Sorry - I feel terrible, but he didn’t know his plans until this morning even. Have fun without me, though! ---

That’s okay – I’m past my prime, debaucherywise, anyway. Just called – they do NOT take reservations – so whoever gets there first, go in and get a table for ten and leave the name Cecil Adams at the podium. I’m coming in by train (and will have to swing by the ATM) so will probably not be terribly early. ---

Ok, I’m back to confirming; I got a good amount of work done during the week 🙂 ---

We got home safe and sound. Our car was not towed, and we didn’t get so much as a parking ticket. 🙂 We did, however, get a tour of Port Richmond and the suburbs along 476. Robin ---

Glad you made it home safe and sound – and also glad y’all came in the first place. Fun evening, all – we should do this more often! (But order enough pizza next time…) ---

(But order enough pizza next time…) [/QUOTE] Between the pizzas and salad, I thought we had enough food, but you’re right. We could have had a third and it wouldn’t hurt. I enjoyed the spinach and mushroom a lot. I wonder if my local pizza parlor has that. Robin [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/phillyphest-saturday-march-22nd/440117.md?page=1)
