I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

x-posted to the somerville email list:

It seems that folks are unsure about dinner availability, which might be a bit dodgy trying to get a table for a large group of people on a Saturday night. Do folks on the fence know when you will know if dinner is in the cards? Is there a timing issue? For example if we make a reservation at 6 or 7 pm, does that help with firming up plans?

Could you everyone let me know, either to the list or to me directly if you are planning on going to dinner? And if you prefer Sabur or Elephant Walk? And what time would be good for you?

So far, here's the list of definite yes's: Deb (and Nick?) Jon and FAQ Wife Nora and Tom

Maybes: Sarah and Dave Victor and Thessaly

Probably nots: vw

And I haven't heard back from anyone else...

(though, I realized that yahoo was flagging these emails as spam shortly after we started the conversation on Monday, so I may have missed some before I fixed the problem.)

Please indulge my Type-A event planner personality and let me know what you think. It's a bit tough to get a group of more than 4 sat down for dinner on a Saturday night, so I think some advance planning would be good.

I am hoping to make a reservation by Friday at the latest.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Nora, I think you misspelled FAQ Wife.

Nora, I've been crazy at work so I haven't had time to respond to any e-mails on my home addresses. I'm definitely up for dinner, either 6 or 7 is fine as long as I know in advance, and while I know I love Elephant Walk, Sabur sounds interesting from its listing in Zagat, so either place sounds good. I'll probably be working Saturday at this point, so knowing in advance where and when will be muy helpful.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

And Jon, when you see this, please to email me your phone number(s)?

Is Sabur Indian? I may have to watch you all eat. As dearly as I love Asian food, keeping it on its designated path through the digestive tract is a bit iffy these days.

Sabur is "Mediterranean".

Elephant Walk is Cambodian/French.

Yay, Sabur!

OK, for dinner on Saturday so far, I have: Deb, me, Tom, Jon, FAQ Wife, Frankenbuddha, DX Machina. I was thinking it would be better to dine on the slightly early side (say, 6pm) so that folks not dining can stop by Jon's at a relatively reasonable hour, like 8pm?

Thoughts?
