To make a long story short, Jeni and I attend Beloit College, Mayday is coming to visit me next week, and Zevlag is coming for the week as well, who else is up for a gettogether?

Mayday and will be back on campus on Sunday by 2ish, and she leaves Thursday, I believe Jeni and Josh leave for Michigan on Thursday.

On Wednesday night, we're going to Milkwaukee to visith the Tolkien Collection, and I have class Tuesday night from 7-9. Anyone? Vana? Lime? Any of you Mad-town folks? What say you? :: giggles :: pseudo-Tolkien reference!

Warning: this crazy Bernard kid meeps a lot and pokes people...he also chews on everyone's arms.

Wednesday night as in the 7th? Hmm...Holy Week = no church on Wednesday = possible. [Smile] I'll have to check with Lime, of course.

I see it starts at 7 - I wish I could remember how long it takes to get to Milwaukee from Rockford! I don't get home from work until 5.

We'll see!

Rockford to Beloit on I-90 takes 30 minutes. Or 20...depending on how fast you go...and traffic...tisn't hard to make it in 20 minutesish

So...total of two hours. That's really, really pushing it. Even if we ate in the car.

I don't know, guys. I'll have to talk to Lime. I'd love to see the exhibit, and meet you gusy. But it would be hard to make it on time, and even if we left right after, we'd be pretty late getting home (and there's work in the morning - oh to be a student again!).

I'll have to talk to Lime.

We should be good for dinner some night next week. We get off of work around 5.

I've been pretty tired, so I'd have to be back home before 10.

Dude, I live in Milwaukee and am friends with several Marquette people, and I had no clue that this Tolkien jazz was even here.

Shows how much I know.

I think Monday should work for us. As we get off work around 5, we could get to Beloit by 6 without too much difficulty.

I have no way of getting to Beloit at any time. So, I guess I'm out. I can get to Marquette, however. So if you guys are hitting that up, I'm in.

Well, we'll definitely be there for dinner on Monday. I'm all for going to the Tolkien Collection too, but I don't have a full time job at the moment and Vana is the one who has to get up in the morning. I'll look over the schedule and we'll see what we can do.

My cell number is 503.539.8694. I guess for now we're meeting on campus here at Beloit? or...hmm...perhaps something in Janesville....

Well, after looking around a little, I came to the conclusion that 1) there are no good restaurants in Beloit, 2) it's very difficult to find dining information online if it's not in a big city, and 3) that there is apparantly a restaurant in Janesville called Hhffrrrggh's. I figured a person can't go wrong with a restaurant named Hhffrrrggh. Otherwise, another acceptable looking place in Janesville is the Milwaukee Grill. Then of course you have your basics -- ChiChi's, Applebee's, and all those other chain places.

I'm sure Bernard would offer to cook for everyone, but fitting more than four people into our dorm kitchen just isn't going to happen. [Smile]

Of course, if anyone knows the area better than I do, make a suggestion. The extent of my dining knowledge around here basically ends with Culver's. [Wink]

Hhffrrrggh is named for the aftereffects of eating there?

Must be Chinese food.

So...have car, will travel...but I work [Smile] How late is everyone staying at the restaurant? I work until 8 and then I'd have to go pick up PC, so it's not worth it, huh?

But Wednesday still works for me.

Personally, I think Hhffrrrggh's sounds pretty cool. We're all for going there, if that's the concensus.

So where are we meeting? And when? I'll email the co-ordinator my cell phone # and such today (is that you, BYUCnslr?), and if I can get an address, I'll Mapquest directions and we'll be there tonight.

Whatever time works for all of you.

Probably easier to meet at the restaurant.

I'll check this again after class.

Oh, that's right:

Vána and I won't be able to make it for the Tolkien Collection gathering this Wednesday - we forgot that we had choir practice that night, and we've skipped out on too many of them this season. And we haven't practiced for Easter yet. But we'll be there tonight!

Um, *bump* I assume that we ARE meeting at 6:30 then? We get off of work fairly soon and it will be a 45 min drive...

608.212.8968 after five if you need to reach us, 'cause the cell's at home.

It's about a ten-minute drive from his place to Marquette.
