    Well, after all that I have to bitch out. My kid is doing his best impersonation of the lawn sprinkler chick from the exorcist. I'm pretty well pinned to the house today.

    on hold for the moment

    With so many things going on in the summer this seems to be one thing that could be put on hold.

    Because there is a lot of feedback asking to plan the events at least a month out. I can't do that this month. Realistically I'm looking at starting a new "theme" series in October/November, announced some time in mid-late August, with several months laid out at the same time. Probably November because I don't want to step on the S4B cruise.

    That said, nobody is going to stop you from putting together a little pickup meet whenever you feel like it if you need your fix. I'll probably show up. Especially if we meet at the bacon trolley. :)

    Eh, you don't have to make a production out of it. I might hit up the bacon trolley sometime next month. If I do I'll post up before I go and anyone who is around and wants to go with will be more than welcome.

    All of you are welcome to set up that sort of thing. I don't have a lock on restaurant cruises, I just want to put a little something extra into the DnD events so they hopefully become/remain something to look forward to.

    We have been thinking about starting this up again but we will need a good turnout/ base before putting any real effort into lining up the food joints.

    Yep, I think we should definitely restart the monthly drive and dine cruises. They were always a good time, and who cares if there's a little bit of snow on the ground...that's why we own Subaru's!

    Like I said, there is a lot less going on starting next month. There is a reason we put these on hold until then.
