    Nice, CTK! You haven't come out to one of these in a long time. The last one I remember seeing you at was at Barette, I think just after it opened.

    Wow that was a long time ago. A lot has changed since then haha. I remember sitting by a window at the last one. It may have been at that bar on Washington/St Johns next to the Caribbean food place. In any case I should be there, can't make any promises.

    It seems the firmament has aligned such that no work or family duties pose a conflict for me on the designated evening here.

    lnelson, this will be great...I can introduce myself and say goodbye all in one shot. Ha.

    Looking forward to seeing the rest of you creeps. :tongue:

    It's a Thursday so Weather Up will likely have cold fried chicken from No. 7 in the backyard. It is both cheap and awesome.

    Has anyone warned them of our pending invasion?

    ...they could decide whether to hire a bouncer or something.

    can they do pitchers? i.e. We could all get the same drink and save time.

    He would make a giant drink, instead of 6 small ones.

    I consider myself a good googler, but I couldn't find a working phone number for Weather Up when I tried to call last night. I will try to get there early - they open at 7 - to warn them that apres moi, la deluge. Any and all are welcome to join me early as well!

    Newbies / late-comers: PM me for my # if you want to keep track of the group, or just follow the blond faux-hawk.

    Considering joining, but the a/c just went on and it may be hard to pull myself away after walking the dog (who is looking at me very expectantly.)

    I'm going to try to swing by...for those who i haven't met, I'm likely to be the tallest/skinniest guy there. If there's a close tie, i'm the one with the cast on my hand. And no, you can't sign it!

    It was great seeing everybody and meeting folks I hadn't yet met in person.

    I was able to chat with almost everybody, even though with some it was way too short.

    Five things I learned tonight:

    1) lnelson is in for quite an adventure.

    2) Mougar was right, the blond fauxhawk was the sole reason I found anybody.

    3) When Carmen arrives everyone runs for the exits.

    4) It's dewpoint, not relative humidity. Blame it on the Turks.

    5) Like soylent green, this site is indeed full of people.

    Thanks all!

    I've met a lot of you and still the blond fauxhawk led us to you all :)

    Good job, lnelson!

    A great night indeed. First time I really got to talk to people. We have some real characters here! It was nice to meet everyone even if we didn't get to talk much. I'll be around though.
