I was just wondering the other day... Did anyone ever call to warn them of our impending arrival?

Might be a bit early to warn 'em, ennit? I mean, unless we're making a proper reservation, I guess.

Yeah, it's probably too early, which is why I did nothing, but this comment in the original post made me think of it: "I believe the Rose & Raindrop lets groups reserve the upstairs and/or the back room."

Seeing as 6/3 is one of the big days for the Rose Festival it might be worthwhile to warn them a little more than a day or two in advance, maybe.

Ah, that explains it! My sister and I were going to show, due to the event coinciding with an alumni event from our degree program at PSU, but we got priced out of tickets and hotel and were trying to figure out why. Totally forgot about the danged Rose Festival.

I nominate Togdon to make the phone call.

I called and told them to expect at least 15 people. They took down my real name and phone number (*gasp*) and said it should be cool since we're such early drunks. To quote:

"Yeah any time before it gets dark and you should be fine, but we've got you down anyway..."

I have begun my pre-meetup calisthenics.

will this be friendly or more like Seattle? I hate going to bars by myself as it is...
posted by yodelingisfun at 2:27 PM on June 3, 2006

I'm terrified of people, so I hope it'll be friendly.

Beer will be spilled.

On pants.

Sorry I missed it (yet again), but fathering duty called. Next time hopefully...

I'll deface YOU! And then I'll try to get them up. Let's say "by this weekend" instead.
