How 'bout you drop me an email and we can work something out? I’d prefer to meet midtown/downtown, but I don’t have a car since I’m just visiting, so the afternoon would be best for me. Heh, I used to be a broke college student living in Midtown, too. Damn, those were some good times (except the broke and in Memphis part 😉 ) ---

I’m still up for a Sunday in Nashville and I don’t care where we meet. Also, sometime down the road I’d love to revisit Knoxville, my old stompin’ grounds. Keep me informed. Peace, TN\*hippie ---

You can count me as a definite possible maybe for the 24th. It _is_ a five hour drive and we _are_ quite short-staffed here at work. But Knoxville in August–wild horses couldn’t keep me away! ---

Okay, **evilbeth** assuming you can make it, what time would you want to try and be here? You’ve got the long haul it looks like, and having it on a Sunday means you’ve most likely got to be back at a decent hour so you can make it to work on Monday morning. **percypercy** understand about being the broke college student as I was one once, but if you can make it, we’d love to have you! Still waiting to hear from the rest of you if **101st Airborne** is the place you wanna meet. ---

Well, the good thing about me is that I work nights so anytime is fine–I don’t have to be back at work until 10:30 Monday night. However, early evening/late afternoon might work best for me. Let me see if I can get off work that weekend and I’ll let you know. ---

**101st Airborne** =good food +fun decor. _Knoxville_=plague+goiters+sackcloth & ashes. Plague _ **baaaad** _. 😛 Nashville/ **101st** —gooood! 🙂 ---

[If] I am invited. I seemed to invite myself without thinking. Are you close to Bristol, **evilbeth**? I was raised in Bluff City. ---

We meetin’ or not? Everybody seems interested, however, no one’s really said for certain if they’re coming. Just curious. ---

Due to the nature of my work, I cannot absolutely guarantee anything until the very last minute. But, if it’s in Nashville on a Sunday afternoon, I’m about 83% certain I can make it. Peace, TN\*hippie ---

Okay, **Bosda** and **Hippie** let’s say that the three of us agree to meet at **101st Airborne** in Nashvegas at 4 PM (CDT) on Sunday, June 24th, and if the others can make it, they’re more than welcome to come. How’s that sound? ---

Sounds great, with a couple of humble requests: 1. Where is the place? (keep in mind I’m new to Nashville and don’t drive…but I can probably get there with some directions) 2. Any chance we could move it closer to **2** pm? (this is not essential, but would make it easier on me) Peace, TN\*hippie ---

**Hippie** its at: 1362 Murfreesboro Pike # A Nashville, TN  37217 You can get directions there from mapquest.com. I was thinking 4 to make it easier for folks like **evilbeth** to show up, but if she and none of the others are going to be able to make it, then I don’t have any objections to shifting the time. What say you, **Bosda**? ---

Thanks for the directions. And I’m cool with **4** if it makes things more convenient for y’all. Peace, TN\*hippie ---

Time doesn’t matter to me as my weekend schedule is pretty flexible. Still waiting for the others to check in. (Hint, hint, hint.) ---

I’m still looking into getting that day off, I’m off the day before so it might be tricky. But if I can get it off and can sucker my friend into coming with me, I’ll be there. ---

I live _JUST_ on the other side of Louisville, KY, and would love to get together with some fellow Dopers. Any way I can sweet-talk you all into an invite for me and possibly **Supergirlfriend**? If so, someone drop me a line at [daredevilcomic@hotmail.com](mailto:daredevilcomic@hotmail.com), and give me the info, okay? Thanks!
