Okay folks.

With the new addition to the NE Clump (Nathan), we need to plan a picnic.

Time, day, place? Ideas?

*looks outside at the ice pouring from the sky*

I vote for something indoors. [Smile]

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

Mack, it would be easier for me if it were out this way, but my schedule is pretty clear!

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

I think you should do it indoors, this Saturday. [Razz]

Otherwise, I hate you all. [Razz]

Saturday? But I must work on Saturday and Saturday is when they play opera...
Why not Thursday or Friday?
In a nice Chinese or indian resturant with food under 5 dollars and ice cream.

Where can I find these places? I'm serious!

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

Sarah,
Our favorite local Chinese restaurant is Hunan Gourmet in Northampton, but it is not under five bucks unless you just get an egroll and hot and sour soup.

STOP DERAILING!

*glare*

[ROFL]

Can't help it. I'm a natural born derailer
There's also a sushi bar where you can get 12 pieces of sushi for just 5 dollars...
Mmm. Sushi.

Listen, Missie. (wait, let me say that the right way)

Listen Missusee.
We are exploring options, in a roundabout way.

Uh huh. Don't make me get my sword.

Posted by dabbler (Member # 6443) on :

Unfortunately, my weekends are kinda busy for the next few weeks. This weekend, MIT Mystery Hunt, and next weekend is a visit to my best friend in NYC.

Posted by sarahdipity (Member # 3254) on :

Hrm where do you live? *decides she needs to move closer to yummy cheap food*

I was going to tell mack I wasn't scared of her but then I remembered that she knows where I live.

I dunno what my schedule looks like. So I'll just join if I can.

Posted by Dragon (Member # 3670) on :

Other than next weekend when I'll be in VT, I think I could come...

Sounds like fun!

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

If it easier for everyone to go to Boston, I can swing it somehow.

Posted by John Van Pelt (Member # 5767) on :

a simple get-together on Fri, Sat, or Sun in or near Boston might be feasible for me, and another jatraquerista who will be visiting me. (Yay!)

(And sorry for pooping out on the last Boston thing. [Frown]

)

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

Hmmm.

Or here in Manchester.

Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :

Jatraquerista? O_o

This weekend is bad for me, I have to pick up a neighbor from the airport Sat and she's staying the night, because move in day for the dorms is Sun. If somehow a gathering came to happen the weekend after, I would be able to bring a bonus hatracker with me [Smile]

Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :

Though during the day before 930pm is ok Sat, I forgot it's a late flight ^^

Posted by JaneX (Member # 2026) on :

I'll be back in Northampton on the 23rd. I might be able to come to a weekend get-together after that date if it's relatively close by.

*hopes the get-together won't end up being before she gets back again*

And I still need to take a trip up to Amherst someday. My family always used to come up and eat at Atkins Farm and visit the college, cause that's where my parents met.

And 'dipity, we still need to go dancing sometime ^^

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Jane, I can always give you a lift...Jenni and I will probably be going if we can.

Kwea

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

"visit the college, cause that's where my parents met."

Which college, Myr? (Atkins in right in the middle, sort of, of all five)

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :

Kwea, I would take you guys up on a ride. I am not ready to drive that far, yet.

Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :

Hehe, sorry, forgot that part. I meant Zoo Mass Amherst [Smile]

Posted by sarahdipity (Member # 3254) on :

We do need to go dancing!

When do you have free? I'm already in dance in Boston mode and have been making noises of planning a trip to Boston w/ some CS grad students. I'm sure you can have as much fun giggling at us as we will have at giggling at ourselves.

Posted by Synesthesia (Member # 4774) on :

Oh, no. Is it this week? I'm going to be broke by Friday.
I am always broke by Friday [Frown]
