We are almost unpacked. We need to go. Not this weekend, but next? We should be good by then. I’m just going to order the entire Salumi section of the menu.

just to update, we WILL be staying in Center City friday & saturday night (15/16th). we will also be watching the Man Utd game live at 10 a.m. on saturday, most likely at Fado. let us know if either of you want to meet up for dinner anywhere either of those nights.

we’re at Windsor Suites on the edge of the Parkway. i volunteered at a golf outing in the summer and got it in one of the raffles.

So are we doing it? Where’s Mandy? Hutch? Are you free today?

Today is a no go for Me and Mandy as we are roped into a housecleaning day for her parents.
And there may be some TV I will want to watch tonight.
We are in the city next weekend and I may well be drunk by very early afternoon.

yeah, we are totally free next weekend because we’ll be staying in the city. i assumed from john’s first comment we were only talking about the 15/16th.

Yep, I said “not this weekend, but next” which makes you spot on, Mandy.

hey I would like in on this too—did a day and time get decided? i’m free whenever, so it doesn’t matter to me. and it will just be me, the fiance will be in Richmond doing college basketball stuff.

Saturday, 7:30? I will make a res for 9. If they have nothing available, I will make a res for Percy Street BBQ. Yeah?

Or would Friday be better?

On 01/11/10 at 06:11 PM, Sammy Moved to Reddit was all:

Either for me, as far as I know. Friday would avail us of the astronomy thing on Saturday, wouldn’t it?

On 01/11/10 at 06:23 PM, mandy blue was all:

we are fine for either night at any time.

I’m waiting to know that, too, Mandy.

Still haven’t gotten a yay or nay from Sue, Luke and Rach. At this point, it’s unlike, but I’ll just call later today and see if I can’t make a table for 9, assuming everyone’s still in.

On 01/14/10 at 10:15 AM, John is hungry was all:

I haven’t called yet, but for the record, as soon as this became a seatings get much more than 5 or 6, reservations are incredibly unlikely. I don’t expect there to be anything available at either place, but it’s worth a shot.

oh, i thought you had already done it. if nothing happens, i have no problems just meeting up at a bar somewhere to get together.

On 01/14/10 at 11:14 AM, John is hungry was all:

Honestly, once the number hit 9 I was like “oh, well, that’s not gonna happen.” But then you were all “we should make reservations!” so I suppose it’s worth a shot. It’s just highly highly unlikely.

Future scrabbled restaurant gathering threads should have a “table for 5, first to reply is in the reservation” type policy so reservations don’t become impossible. Unless it’s Dim Sum or something that caters to large groups. Know of any places like that?

i’m fine with the first 5/6 in. mostly because we were both first on this one – HA. basically i just want to know if any of you will be in Center City this friday or saturday night so kev & i can meet up with you to have food & beers. otherwise we’ll be getting obnoxiously sloshed by ourselves.

Meeting up for beers, I think, regardless of Amis, is a must. Just called, not open yet. Gonna call after lunch.

Neh, Gosia’s got plans with her parents and I got work Saturday monring/afternoon.

I originally said I was fine whenever, and I would have said something if that changed, so you didn’t need to wait for me to make a reservation!
I am still fine with whatever.
Mandy, what time do you get into the city Friday night? I could meet up for happy hour and kill some time after work at the gym if you think it’s gonna be like 6-ish. Later than that and I’m going back to my little piece of suburbia. :)

Amis is booked. Percy Street BBQ has a limit on reservation size.

Booked as in full, or booked as in ‘we have a reservation’? Sorry, it could mean either thing.

I am guessing full, Sue. He would not have mentioned the other I presume.
John, will now prove me wrong and surprise us all by actually getting something done.

Booked as in full! It’s the first week and you can’t even get a table for 2, let alone 9. I think just meeting for drinks somewhere is the way to go. Any thoughts on where?

About The Scrabbled

The Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
