I am free Tuesdsay but not Saturday.
Well, I guess I could make something later in the day on Saturday, but I'll probably be exhausted.
I'm probably free for both. Maybe. I probably cannot make the Vinous Meetup, however.
I'm there Saturday but not Tuesday. I'll have to check with JM on whether timing works.
Probably both are fine, if I can clear my busy schedule of listening to Couperin and looking at dick pics. I assume I won't have a job by then or possibly ever again!
I can maybe do Saturday, can't do Tuesday.
I could likely make Saturday especially if it is in SF, and midday and near mid Market (child will be in dance class or Ncracker rehearsal), and possibly Tuesday if geo remains as above and in early evening.
Oh jeez now it looks like I'm picking between commenters, doesn't it. Maybe I'll check in with my mom and find out if contingency plans prefer one over the other.
Oh and we'll have the small children with us. If that changes anyone's answer.
There is a rather lovely newish café at Gough and Oak, and open on Saturday during the day (they close at 6 pm), they have delicious CAKES and rather nice wine and beer and it is therefore family with young children appropriate by my lights.
DQ is thinking of the 20th Century Cafe, which is great.
Heebie, it sounds like you've been committed to both Tuesday and Saturday to avoid playing favorites!
If it sways anyone, I am going to be taking Blandings on some sort of scenic nature hike on Saturday and would be happy to include anyone interested...
I could do either, although only evening on Tuesday, not afternoon.
OMG - I will be in the bay area for thanksgiving with Morpheus and Persephone. That would be so fun to meet up! Our plans are still in flux - mostly hanging with my pregnant BFF and her family so probably either of those times would work out.
Saturday is better. I could maybe bring a small child. Tuesday evening is do-able in the city.
No small children on offer from the dairy queen household these days but will stand any small children unhealthy amounts of CAKES.
Ok apparently I'm returning to SF on Saturday at, like, midnight, so I guess I can't do anything then.
Definitely don't make plans based on me--I'm a maybe even for Saturday.
Saturday would be better than Tuesday for me. Tuesday evening might be possible, but we're hosting Thanksgiving this year for local family, and I might be needed to help prep the house that night.
Ok: Tuesday, the 26th. (People we're visiting had a preference.)
Is there any sort of coffee shop or restaurant that has a small kid-play area? That's the easiest for hanging out because you can actually talk with other adults while the kids wear themselves out.
Also it's Hokey Pokey's 3rd birthday. I kinda think the family is in the process of forgetting his birthday (again).
My sister still gets really upset when mom and dad forget her birthday. She retaliates by not sending them a birthday card. I don't think mom and dad have noticed the retaliation yet.
25: Zeitgeist has something of a yard; would that do?
Unprompted, I remember, I think, exactly four people's birthdays.
Does it count if I remember that George Washington and Abraham Lincoln were both born on the 3rd Monday of February?
No, mine is another birthday I remember! And, in fact, on reflection, I also remember the birthday of my oldest friend, who shares my birthday. (Though I see that I had to be prompted to remember that I remember that, though not prompted about the date itself.)
So six, not counting Our Lord Jesus Christ.
I can remember my cousin's birthday, which is Hitler's birthday, because of marijuana.
I didn't remember many birthdays until I found out I was getting dinged for not remembering certain birthdays. Now I remember but resent it. And I notice when other people forget but I don't actually give a shit*.
*Pokeys 1st birthday being the exception because both sets of siblings were actually staying at the damn hotel, and his mini-party was in the lobby, and they failed to attend after throwing several tantrums about whether there would be sugar and what time his party would be at and I guess I'm still pissed when I stop to remember the details.
