Bump for great justice! And we need a date already! ETA: seems like 4/27 is looking to be the best bet… ---

\ So you guys want me to miss a baseball game for you? Sheesh. _ponders the possibility that the date was set specifically so I couldn’t make it_ Nah…you guys wouldn’t do that. 😉 If it be the 27th, then I will skip the game and come on down. I think earlier would be preferable. Maybe 1pm? Late enough for people coming from longer distances to drive up/down, but early enough that we can create the kind of havoc Dopers are known for while still leaving enough time for folks to get home in Sunday evening traffic. What say y’all? ---

1pm works for us. Don’t worry about the game…the Dodgers will blow a 3 run lead in the 8th to lose by 2. 😃 ---

[/QUOTE] I’m in San Diego right now, leaving Friday midday. I’m staying and working off of Mira Mesa Blvd. Not sure if I’ll be here next week. Kind of hoping not to be. Probably will be here for the week after that, possibly for two weeks that time. But anything beyond this week is pure speculation until it’s booked. ---

I’ve been busy and away from the Dope for a while, but today I started reading the thread and tallying votes, until I noticed that the date decision has already been made. I’ll still post the vote tally, but it seems like the chosen date / time is Sunday 27 April at 13:00 (1:00 PM).

From classic lagers to more obscure ales and stouts there’s a draft beer flavor for everyone. Each Yard House location features a transparent keg room containing more than 600 barrels, some 1,000 gallons of beer, and an endless fleet of tap handles - 130 to 250 - depending on the location. The menu of American cuisine includes an impressive selection of appetizers, salads, pastas, sandwiches, individual-size pizzas, seafood, steaks, ribs and chops. Late-night dining is available, and each restaurant can accommodate groups for large parties. For pint-size guests the kid’s klub includes a 12 page activity book, fresh to order menu items and a kustom kooler. The Yard House plays classic rock and roll on its state of the art sound system while an abundance of flat screens showcase the day’s sports and special events._ Sunday 27 April 2008 13:00 Vote tally: (listed in order of posts made in the thread, ? indicates person was doubtful about the date) **12 April** Antinor0, Asimovian, scout1222, Encinitas, Queen Bruin, Lucky 13(?), Rick, anu-la1979, Arnold Winkelried, Asimovian, Silver Tyger Girl, ctywkr, Oni no Maggie, Astroboy14(?) **13 April** Antinor0, scout1222, Encinitas, Queen Bruin, Lucky 13(?), Rick, cherry, anu-la1979, Arnold Winkelried, Asimovian, Silver Tyger Girl, ctywkr, Oni no Maggie, Astroboy14(?) **26 April** Antinor0, Asimovian, silenus, desiresjohn, Encinitas(?), Queen Bruin, Lucky 13, Rick, xash, cherry, anu-la1979, Arnold Winkelried, Asimovian, Silver Tyger Girl, ctywkr, Oni no Maggie, Astroboy14(?) **27 April** Antinor0, silenus, desiresjohn, Encinitas, Queen Bruin, Lucky 13, Rick, xash, cherry, anu-la1979, Arnold Winkelried, Asimovian, Silver Tyger Girl, ctywkr, Oni no Maggie, Astroboy14(?), EJsGirl, Brad Serum, The Sonoran Lizard King(?) ---
