[POOL] Party!

[Craig Stacey]

I just want to say up front that the "Let's spend the money on my personal project/hobby/mortgage/car" jokes are done.

Can we all agree that, at the least, we'll do the Rock Bottom thing?  As for the other thing, looking at Roger's suggestions...

Morton's isn't that appealing to me, personally.  Less so for my vegetarian wife.
Ted's is good, but not really much of an 'event' place.  I'd be fine with it, but is there a particular reason or draw?  I'd like somewhere we could get a little loud, because we will.  (That's another strike against Morton's, too.)
Comedy club would be fun.  I'll look at the schedules and see who's coming.

Brian's indicated a conflict for the 18th.  Thursdays preclude Tisha from coming (which happened last year), so I'd really like to find a weekend day that works (since we also go late).
