    Is anyone else thinking of bringing along their better/other half where applicable?

    We love going down there but since she doesn't work downtown anymore we just don't get there as much as we like. So I asked my wife if she wanted to come along, she loves the ideas so I figured if anyone else wanted to make that option avaliable but thought they may be bored or whatever then there is at least one person going who will just sit and shake her head at us;)

    Has anybody thought about if we wanted to be seated or hang out upstairs? I have only been upstairs in the evening so I really don't know jumpin the place is at dinner time. At lunch time it can get pretty full.

    I have never been there, so I cannot say. It was recommended by some of the others as a good downtown place to meet.

    Not sure if my wife can make this one, but I will double check to be sure and let you know.

    I would say we should get on the list for a table so we can eat and wait for it upstairs. My wife won't be coming as she'll be on business in San Francisco, that's why I need a babysitter.

    Ok, I called the pub today and they suggested we let them know how many we will be so they can be set up for us. I will set up reservations, but I need a better idea of how many are committing to coming. Please post your intention to come or not come here.

    Joe - I am in, potentially 1 guest (new potential member)

    I am at two confirmed. The little ones will have a baby sitter. Luke, you could always do a drop off here and we could all go down together. Kinda wrong side of town but the offer is there for you.

    I'll be there as long as my babysitter is still available. Mucho thanks for the offer James but Helenor has an early bed time compared to most American families and she will be in bed before I even get there!

    No problem bud, mine go down early too for Yank standards. I am lucky that they tend to be good natured if we do let them stay up for special treats and they tend to still get up bright and early every morning. One of my neighbors was surprised when I said mine were asleep by 8pm.



    WOO HOO!!!! Just a few more days!!!!

    Mine are in bed at 8:00pm, a little later in the summertime and weekends. Now if only I could get to bed at that time, I might actually feel rested.

    Late notice I know, but if you can please bring cash for dinner tonight, as they usually will only do a single check for groups of 5 or more. I convinced them to break out a few of us, but it would be extremely helpful for the rest to do cash and not owe anyone money. We will work on them some more when we are there...

    Sorry I had to miss the meeting. I heard that everyone had a good time. I was sick that day anyway so I don't think I would have had much fun the way I was feeling :(

    Yeah but all I am signed up for for posting pics is my deviantart site, but it has to be my own work to be posted there. I think Luke has a photo sharing place.
