12. You all should meet in St. Cloud.
Then I would be able to make it. :)

But since it's in The Cities, I won't be able to. :(

14. What kind of place is it?
I got my income tax refund so I have some cash credit for a little fun.


But I have my kid on weekends, being the dedicated, loving, father that I am (and single, too... tell your friends!)

So it is appropirate for a 4-year-old?


Hmmmm...


Unless I get the neighbor to watch him...

15. It's an Irish pub, but a respectable one
and they serve a fairly traditional menu, so if Krispos Junior isn't into shepherd's pie or fish and chips, he could always have a hamburger.

And a Killian's Irish Red. Yum.


I'll let you know. Let's say that I'm coming but I don't know if I'm coming alone or not.

19. On a Saturday at 12
we may be the only people there. I am sure it will be fine for your son. It is a very nice respectable place, with a good menu.

20. B'gosh and b'gorrah, they serve brunch, according to their website
but I'm sure they'd be willing to fry up a wee bit of fish and chips now.

31. Ok reservations are made for tomorrow at noon
Edited on Fri Mar-13-09 01:42 PM by Pierre.Suave
At The Local, we will be in the "boardroom" with eating capacity up to 14, but very comfortable for 10 people. if a few extras show up we will be ok.

The reservation is under my name, and they have their regular lunch menu, and a brunch buffet and will have Fish and Chips available.

See you all tomorrow. Any questions, let me know.

:hi:
