Hello all
Just a reminder that Wednesday some members of MJ will be meeting downtown at the International Cafe on Hogan St across from the Ed Ball Bldg at 12noon for lunch and to meet and greet. Anyone and everyone is welcome. And since most of us probably have never met, I'll be the guy thats 6'2", 300lbs, with lots of gray hair, wearing black pants and a red shirt. I stand out in a crowd. ;D
I hope to meet some forum members I have never met in person.
See you then.
Calender is clear... so far...
Cool!
Unfortunately I have a lunch committment Wednesday. Have fun guys!
I'll be there! No clue what I'll wear until I do laundry tonight though.
Look for the larger-set girl with red hair & glasses. :)
I work DT but my lunch is not until 1:15. :(
Would love to participate, but I'll be in Virginia. >:(
I'm trying to talk Timkin in going - don't know if he's able to yet.
Im there! :)
So tomorrow's the big day. I may circle the building looking for cool people. If you're there I might partake in the merriment. ;D
Seriously, Friday's at the International Cafe used to be a main stay for me. A Friday special is a huge fried fish w/ rice and beans but then I gave up rice, beans and most fried foods! I'm sure the fish is frozen but it almost always hit the spot and the family running the place is super nice. One of the few places in the core away from the Landing where we are encouraged to sit outside. The sidewalk is very broad and you can hear the skyway cars whoosh past. People watching here is the best too as far as entertainment goes you will see a little of everything including i.e. all walks of life.
(self edit: Not only can you hear the skyway, you'll be able to see it, feel it and almost reach up to touch it!)

I really TRULY want to go....but I cannot :( But someday I will shock everyone and show up!
Does the International Cafe take credit or debit cards?

Yes!
Ooooh, I may not be able to pass up a chance to meet BridgeTroll!
:D Likewise JC... I have enjoyed meeting MJ posters at various events. I still hope to be there but the nature of my job precludes guarantees of when or if I get to take a lunch break. So far so good though... :)

Yeah, I am the same way, I just never know how a day is going to pan out but I am going to try to be there since I am just in Regency.
I'll be there. I'll be the black guy dressed in beige/brown.

Oh im leaving now!
I may have to bow out - IT's coming today to move our computers and phone lines around (I get a new office outta the deal) - and since we don't know WHEN they'll be here, I have to be on standby.
Sucks.

BT where were you sitting? Where you just to the right of Lakelander and directly across from me? I had a hard time hearing names with the noise in the place plus my bad hearing.
Wish I could have met everyone...I hope you can have another of these sometime when I am in town!

I will keep my eyes peeled for a green troll wandering around hemming plaza!
Do it again, guys. In a month, please!
It was such fun, one bad thing.... we ran out of time!
Isn't that what always happens...time flies when you're having fun !!!
Bridgetroll was a little scary, freaking out the little kids and all :D!
Damn... and I have been trying to stop doing that. :D

I'm all for doing it again every month. And maybe we can get Cari involved and combine a restaurant review with an MJ lunch get together.
