    Nice.

    I might be "participating in a natural disaster/pandemic" drill for work, but I'll ride up there from the South End if that's what it takes. :thumb

    Hey, is this every Thursday (i.e. there's one tomorrow, 9/25)?

    If so, see you there. In fact, after tomorrow I will most likely need a distraction.

    I don't have an Eastside joke, but I'll think of one while I'm commuting up from Tacoma tomorrow morning...

    Until we decide otherwise, that's the plan. And if the details change, I'll change the original post to reflect it.

    Look forward to meeting some more folks.

    It's part of shuffling off my colonial shackles. I pronounce "aluminum" properly. I also spell "colour," "favour," and "odour" incorrectly =).

    They're making me work from home today, but I'm going to ride up there for dinner and a brew anyway. :thumb

    I think we missed you, unfortunately. We were there until about 8:30 tonight.

    Celtic Bayou was packed pretty full but the covered deck outside was quite comfortable.

    As always, the food and the grub and the company were all fantastic.:clap

    Oh that is where you were. I was there around 715 and saw the bikes out front. I thought the back was where the staff smoked. I did not know there was seating out there. I had a burger and pint at the bar. Kept looking around but did not see anyone with gear on or around there table.
    Next week I will check outside.

    Got a point there. I should've told the server that there might be more motorcycle people and that we were out back. :uhoh

    Or we can let Ranjan do it. Project Managers gotta be useful for SOMETHING after all. :lol3

    s'cool. I'll be there shortly before 6, as usual. If the weather is still decent, I'll be out back. I'll leave instructions with the host.

    I will SO need a beer by the end of the day tomorrow. Non-stop meeting hell. :bluduh
