(Maybe. I'll find out tonight if I can. Do you think tomorrow is too late to RSVP?)

No, because there's no reservations at the restaurant. He's just gonna show up a little early and wait to get a table for however many show.

I've got a last-minute scheduling confilict, which sucks, since I first suggested this shindig. Have fun mixing it up with the old MRR man and the other foodies, Pink!

Are foodies like feeders?

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it, Superhero. Here is my sad, hungry face:

:-(

It's an emote icon -- or "emoticon" -- which means you turn your head sideways to see it. The top of your head (bald or not) should point toward the left edge of the screen, with your chin (or beard, if you have a beard) pointing toward the right. As you tilt your head, keep your eyes focused on the glyph. If you do this properly, you should feel a surge of, in this case, sadness and hunger. (There are other emoticons that induce other emotions). Some people say they feel the effects more strongly if they squint or focus their eyes on a point twice as far away as the screen. Whatever it takes is considered acceptable.

Actually.... my afternoon activity ran late (handbell concert + brunch), and I'm not feeling 100%, so I think I'm skipping it. I blame all of you- if even *one* of you was going to be there, I would feel required to go.

Wait, I may have spoken too soon... now I might be going on. ::throws up hands in defeat::

Well, I did end up going. And nobody and afroblanco were there, too. And it was great fun- whoever knew duck was so delicious! I will definitely make the Eat Club a regular part of my social calendar.

Good to hear. The buildup had left me breathless with suspense.
