That’s exactly what I was thinking. Similarly, I won’t be making reservations at Friday’s. I talked to **danceswithcats** this afternoon, and he’s definitely going to be meeting us at Friday’s. **Verrain** and I will try to be at the Franklin Institute around 1, for anyone that wants to start meeting then. ---

I’m up for the dinner, I don’t think that I can make the movie. Which TGIF and what time? ---

It’s the Friday’s at 1776 Ben Franklin Parkway. (Right near the Institute). [This](http://philadelphia2.myfridays.com/) should be the link to their site, if I’m not mistaken. We’re meeting there between 3:30 and 4. Looking forward to seeing you again! ---

I’m working – but depending on what time I leave and what kind of mood I’m in, I may swing by TGIF’s. I should ask for the … “Pisces” party? the “Doper” party? ---

Barring any weirdness, I’ll see you all there. I will probably bring my friend Tim, who is a non-doper. I’ll make sure he brings the goat. **Twickster-** We usually reserve under the “Cecil Adams” party, as a matter of tradition. ---

Ok, with as many of us as are showing up for dinner, I decided to call and make a reservation after all. There’s a reservation for 15 at the TGIFriday’s noted above at 3:30 under Cecil Adams. See you all there! ---

Our train gets in at 3:33 (allegedly) so we’ll be there soon after. ---

Okay. Airman and I will be there, but Aaron is going to Great-Gramma’s for the day. See y’all this afternoon! Robin ---

I guess I’m excited. There’s no other reason for me to be up at 8 a.m.–I’m just dancing with joy at meetin’ y’all and, in some cases (Airman and Robyn), being able to see nice ta see ya again! 😃 😃 **Safety Precaution** : If moi is bouncing already at 8 a.m., there’s a chance she may bear a resemblance to either Tigg’r or the Tasmanian Devil by the time 1 p.m. rolls around…😉 ---

Due to very odd circumstances, I will not be able to make it today. The next time I’m in Philly, I’ll let you all know. Sorry 'bout the confusion. ---

I’m going to try and be at the Institute around 1pm and just loiter around the entrance (or maybe somewheres else). A quick description: I’m about 5’7", short brown hair, goatee, around 160lbs (average build). Probably be wearing something like jeans and a t-shirt. See youz guys there! ---

**Verrain** and I will be there around 1 as well. And I have a sign! It’s not a very good sign, because I’m not a very good artist. But it IS a sign and it DOES say SDMB on it. So, hopefully, we’ll be able to find each other. **moi** , I’m bouncing just as badly! I can’t wait to see people for the first time and again. (Don’t **MsRobyn** and **Airman Doors** get around. – I can’t wait to see you guys again! ;)) **Wonko** , you’ll be missed. I was really hoping to get a chance to see you again. Definitely let us know the next time you can make it down this way. ---
