Is this the one at 510 N. Orlando Ave?  
And 5:30 is good for me. I’m coming up Friday for RECON (the gaming convention, not to reconoiter the fest).

I’m hoping Ivylad can make it (he’s been throwing up all day) but if not, it may be just me.

And not to be a party-pooper, guys, but Ruth’s Chris’s et al is out of my price range. If that’s a serious option I may have to bow out.

For all I’m spending on gas, I wouldn’t mind a cheaper location as well. After all, it’s not the food I’m coming up for.

Alrighty folks, I’m leaving for Orlando now, so if there’s any change in the meetup location, I won’t know about it.

Later.

I’m sorry (and late), but I’m not going to be making the trek this weekend (err…today).

Not that I won’t be thinking Dopey thoughts all day.

Crap. We may have a last minute visit from out of town relatives today. Move me from the Yes to the Maybe column. I hope to know soon.

Woot! See you guys there - look for me just to the left of the front doors of the theater in an England rugby jersey (white, big red rose on the chest), jeans and flip-flops.

Thanks guys…Ivylad and I had a great time! It was wonderful meeting **Really Not All that Bright, Bambi, Hypno Toad, Blue Mood** , and seeing **Ludovic** again.

By the way, it didn’t rain in Orlando(ish.) ☹

I hope we can do it again sometime, and I hope those who couldn’t make it this time can come next time! We don’t bite, and **Ludovic** is willing to run out in the rain for us.

Yeah, we should totally do that again soon. Preferably without the rain.

Thanks to everyone for a) coming, and b) not complaining about my poor planning 😉

I had a really good time, and it was nice putting faces to names. And as I had silently feared during our downpour, I had left my sunroof ajar ( :smack: ), so I drove home wet and horrible.

It was good to put faces to names. And to find some more gamers and mini-painters amongst the dopers.

Wheee!

Oh, that sucks.

Ivylad says hi. He’s asked a couple times if anyone has posted anything…I think he’s maybe thinking about joining.
