One of our frequent commenters (commentors?) has recently leaked his impending arrival to our fair city to AT the other day and suggested a possible meeting this weekend. AT and I thought it might be a good opportunity to have a full-blown best of the ‘tumor shindig at a local watering hole, everyone invited.
I happened to drive by the Blue Hound Grille today and saw the sign for the new place (80 East Pub & Grille) and cars in the parking lot. I’m going to check tomorrow to make sure they’re open for business (and maybe get a peek at what’s on tap). What a better opportunity to support our local small business owners than to tie one on over there, say Saturday around 1 or 2?
If any of youse guys are interested in meeting us (no pressure ;) then drop us a line here or email and let us know. If we don’t hear from anyone, perhaps another time.
And for the hell of it, a picture of a goofy kid:

We have one request to move it to noon on Saturday…

I’m cool with whenever, but we need to make sure that the bar thingy is open. That early. Mebbe thats a bad place to meet. I also love the juxtaposition of Bos’s post about Eaves having a heart laden bean in her, and you talking about boozing.
What about coffee or something hippy like that?
Woot!

We probably wouldn’t be able to make it until 12:30 or so because of the yard sale. I don’t mind going to a bar…just be sure to drink an extra one on my behalf.

I’ll do that for you Missus! My pleasure.

So where is 80 East Pub and Grille? And why is there an e after Grille?
May 25th, 2006 at 8:07 pm
80 East is where Blue Hound Grill used to be, at 80 East Tennessee Ave, across from the Soup Kitchen, the Epicurean, et al. And isn’t “Grille” the new black? I didn’t make it by there today, and haven’t found anything official for them online, so I don’t know if they’re officially open or not. AT’s thinking that *ack* Starbucks might be a better place to meet. What do you guys think?
May 26th, 2006 at 5:45 am
Well, if you’re planning on beer, I don’t think Starbucks is the place. Ruby Tuesdays?
May 26th, 2006 at 7:07 am
Thats a thought, despite their craptacular beer selection and teeny tiny glasses. Wherever we’re going, would 12:30 work?
May 26th, 2006 at 3:01 pm
12:30 is good for us. Are you guys going to be without or without kids?
May 26th, 2006 at 3:01 pm
Errr…with or without kids…
May 26th, 2006 at 3:08 pm
Freudian slip, Mrs? I’m assuming yours will be there, so ours shall, too.
How about I be a decision maker and say Ruby Tuesday, 12:30-ish. They have Killians on tap, some snacks for the kids, and decent food for anyone looking to actually have a meal.
That sound good with everyone?
May 26th, 2006 at 5:38 pm
Copy that.
May 27th, 2006 at 2:20 pm
Thanks to AT, BJ, Bos and Mrs. Eaves for a memorable lunch in the ridge.
Pigpen rulz, yo.

It was good meeting you Joel. Let’s do this again next time you’re in town.
May 27th, 2006 at 9:11 pm
I missed the shindig?
May 28th, 2006 at 11:29 am
Gee, jdub, we were only talking about it for, like, a week or something. If you checked the site a little more often….
May 28th, 2006 at 8:33 pm
What site?
May 29th, 2006 at 10:21 am
Uh, this one. And our forums, too.
May 29th, 2006 at 10:31 am
