ok, let's say Moriarty's (btwn 11th and 12th on Walnut) at 5? i called them, they are open this sunday. now, they told me if i *could* get a head count it'd be easier for them to fit us so we dont walk in with like 12 ppl and they have no where to put us. so... i guess PM me or reply here and tell me if you are coming. I already know Emily, Lola, MrC and i are yes's.

Chrissy and I are picky eaters and don't do cheese
Btw, Chrissy, I'm assuming there's stuff on the menu that we eat, right?
Either way, I'll be there. I just want to know if I should come hungry.

The cheese is the life! I actually think I've become a little lactose intolerant and I am just choosing to ignore it. Plus, soy cheese is vile. But okay...no cheese, then. Hey, it looks like I'm gonna be mackin' it at a table full of hot girlies.

ARGH, my car is leaking oil like crazy, and I worry about traveling out of CAA territory. But I am an impulsive person, so I may just do it anyway.
I don't know how the states works with religious holidays? Is everything closed sunday/ monday, for shopping and stuff (it is here)? I will probably come if I can shop too...clothes are much cheaper and better down south.
Emily

Sunday is a bad day for shopping (nothing is open) but Monday is fine.

It looks as if I might pass, Chrissy.
I can't make anything on Sunday and it looks like the Saturday events/happenings will be woefully limited. As much as I am looking forward to another CH2 visit, the opportunities for brownie points are high at the homestead, it being a holiday and all. Staying home this weekend can save me grief on 2 future visits.
So...next time. :-\

^^Everyone was/is invited. If you can make it, come on down. We exclude no one. Well, except for that Mastrodorkalicious guy.
GenWar's gotta be makin' some Easter babies, so it's all good. Have fun with that, sir! I'll hold down the fort.

I can do something Saturday, but not Sunday, as I cannot get off of work, despite all of my best efforts. Im the sucker that has to work on a Holiday this year, and no one is willing to take that burden for me (big shock).
If you guys do something on Sunday, have a few cheese fries on me.

This sounds interesting. I'm still not going to know my own schedule for this weekend that soon. but I'm trying to avoid hanging out at an accountant's office on Sunday, anyway...
Chrissy68
04-06-2007, 02:40 AM
lola is out :(
she got hurt at work and long story short (im sure she will post about it) was told my doctors to stay off her knee for two weeks so she went back to fla.
and it seems as though we wont need reservations.
and mr c... mastrodorkalicious lmao..

Lola Rose
04-06-2007, 03:57 PM
I'm ok :)
I went to my doctor back home a bit ago, and he said I CAN work, and I'm so mad at the doctor I saw in Philly! I should have gone for a second opinion, but it was really painful and the walk in clinic has a no pain pill policy.
My doc said to keep it wrapped if possible, to avoid pain pills if working, and to listen to my body. It's a slight sprain. He said just relax as much as possible. And to heat and cool it if needed, and use arnica for the swellng bruising.
Grrr! I'm so frusturated that I didn't go see someone else!
AlexxaHex
04-06-2007, 04:00 PM
Well at least you (and we) know you are okay!
:hug:
Take it easy and definitely listen to his advice.
Chrissy68

so are you gonna come back soon then? or just wait a bit?
MrChristopher
04-07-2007, 12:59 AM
So...Lola I'm glad you're okay, but who's coming now? Me, Em, Chrissy, Jayda? Is it even a SWfest when we all live here anyway?
Chrissy68
04-07-2007, 04:46 AM
^ yea em and i had the same thought. so if it's just us four... do we wanna postpone? still meet up? what do you all think? although i'd *love* to meet jayda. and mr c we barely met. just a hi and bye, i was new to SW back then...
Lola Rose
04-07-2007, 07:49 AM
Thanks. I'm glad it's okay, but I'm keeping off it anyways till it doesn't hurt. I have the ok to work, but I'm pretty fragile, so I think it's better to stay off it for a while longer. and I'm only really used to working 3-4x a week, so I want to make sure I'm REALLY up for 5x before I return!

I'm still in for tomorrow at 5pm:) Then I gotta jet to Easter dinner with the fam.
Up to u Chrissy-Poo;)
Emily
04-07-2007, 11:25 AM
Easter dinner?! Then what are you going to do at the restaurant? watch us eat? :)
Chrissy and I are still hanging out, but it looks like it'll be movie night at this rate.
hrm, maybe we should try this for another time....

So I am driving to the Yankee's game this morning...down Interstate 87 which runs from Montreal to NYC. And I get my doors absolutely blown off by a silver Toyota hybrid. (And not one of the stupid lookin' ones either, but a sleek number.) I do not get passed easily or lightly (I was doin' 80 at the time.) so I try to catch up and play a little chicken with the car.
It was then that I noticed the Ontario plates on the vehicle. Hmmm...so I decide to catch em and get a look at the car's occupants. Well, I tried but even kicking it up to 100 barely kept me in their dust...And then, the tell tale lights of two state troopers appeared on the shoulder ahead. So I decided to listen to the wife (did I mention I brought her with me?) and slow down and "stop driving like a crazy person!" The Toyota doesn't even pause to wave at the troopers but just blows by them as well. (Luckily for all of us, they were otherwise involved.)
Maybe 30 miles up, I notice that traffic has conspired against them, as I have apparently caught them at the toll booths. So I pull up real close and lean into the steering wheel and try and get a look. I see a sleek, lightly tanned female arm extend a $10 canadian bill out to give to the booth attendant. He takes it, looks at it and says something to the occupant. They lean over and I can see in the driver's side rear view mirror, by angling my head just so, that it is a woman (well, a woman's face). A very attractive one at that (at least her face was. I couldn't see anything but her sunglasses, smile and a little bit of hair.) She nods at the attendant and says something back. He shrugs, takes the bill and returns some American money as change.
She takes off as soon as she is done, testing the 0-60 advertised speed. I pull up immediately, hand the dude my ticket and $4.35 (exact change) and take off after her, convinced that it is Molly or Cally and I am gonna get a better look. (Now I have met Cally...twice...so I know what she looks like. But I couldn't get a real clear look at the woman and she was wearing VERY large sun glasses, so it COULD have been her.) I do the best I can...but 90 is all I can get too without the wife shooting me dirty looks. (It isn't the first time I have chased down someone with her in the car but she does put her foot down when it gets dangerous.) And 90 is NOT going to keep up with that Toyota.
Moments later, she is gone. I sent Cally a text message..."Is that you in the Toyota? -genwar" but no response. My number for her probably isn't current anyway. :-\
Sorry guys...I know I'm going to go South to work this spring/ summer because I want to travel, so I will see people then I hope. Announce your plans, and the gods laugh at you, etc. So, whenever...have fun and happy Easter!
And now I know it wasn't Molly. Ah well, whoever she was, I hope she got where she was going. I KNOW that, if she did, she got there QUICK. ;)

Chrissy68
04-08-2007, 01:35 AM
Well, Em and i discussed and we think we should wait til molly or lola (or others) are in town. mr c will be drinking with friends and jayda is eating with her family, so let's postpone. Emily and i are still going to do food (now chinatown instead) so Jayda if you wanna join us for that, call my cell. heh, mr c.. damien and i had a falling out of sorts (he deleted me from myspace when i wouldnt fk him hahaha) so i'll pass on the seeing him thing. but if you wanna join us for chineee fooo you are welcome to. PM me if you want my digits.

Ok...now that the withdrawal symptoms of my mild case of Chrissy-addiction are finally fading and I can coherantly think about returning to Philly on a Chrissy-friendly night (without my brain going, "MustgoASAP... gonow... gotomorrow... mustseeChrissy"), I am checking my schedule and suggesting that we revive this.
Proposal: June 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Weekend AFTER Memorial Day. I am thinking of being in town for the whole of all three days to see my beloved Giants take on the Philly's. (Sorry about that last series guys. Hey, at least you won ONE. :-\ ) Short of the baseball games, I would have no solid plans.
Only small possible hiccup for me. I didn't clearly outline this as a guys only weekend (can't have TOO many of those). Instead, I used the time honored tradition of taking LOTS of time off work. Mrs. Gen does NOT like to take off work. By leaving Thursday night and returning Monday, I should have been ok. However, she has been talking about having one of her wives drive her down for one or more of the games. This would ruin the whole "mini-fest" thing for me. It is a small possibility but a real one.
Oh well, any thoughts? anyone up for a couple of weeks of pretending to be up for it before calling it all off at the last minute. ;D I really enjoyed it when we did that last time. }:D

Well, due to the overwhelmingly positive response (ok, so I am jealous of the NYC thing. Why did I ever agree to give the wife that weekend?), I had been assuming that this was a non issue. :'( ie, not gonna happen due to lack of interest. Still, I went back and read the response one more time...
OK...I'm reading it like this...
We can do something Sunday night and we have 3.5 confirmed...Me, Mr_C and Chrissy (Em counting as 1/2 confirmed, as she didn't actually say herself.)
So anyone else interested? If so/not, do we have enough to do this? worth it?
