Technically, we're both Salemites (Salemians ? - either way sounds like some sort of lizard creature from Doctor Who), but we're close enough to make us area-istas.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

yeah, we also both work in Boston/Cambridge which makes it easier for post-work gatherings. Sadly, Tom does not have that going for him.
(OT: Frank, did you get caught up in that fire related fustercluck of a commute yesterday? Tom had driven into Somerville for dinner and a show so I didn't know about it till a fellow commuter called me to see if I wanted to share a cab!)

Yes. I think the 5:55 was the first train affected and it was the one I was on. It finally got into Salem around 7:30.
About 15 minutes before, they started letting people off if they wanted to wander over to Wonderland. I felt bad for anyone not going to Lynn, as there's not direct bus that hits Salem or Swampscott out of Wonderland on weeknights. And really smug that I'd decided to stick with the train. Trying to coordinate Wonderland --> Lynn --> Salem would have added another hour at least.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I will not be able to make brunch on Sunday, which bums me out completely. Have fun, and I expect photographic evidence of scrambled tofu and mimosas!

Vortex, the DH and I are on vacation, and probably won't be back in time. If we are, -t will know since she's borrowing our house while we're gone!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I won't be able to make brunch Sunday, since we're having a party tomorrow and I have no idea how late things will go.

DH will be with me for brunch. And possibly our luggage - we will have to get to Dulles by 5 and I haven't figured out those logistics yet.

I'm not sure I'll be able to make it, but let's say brunch at Asylum at 11AM.
Asylum is located at 2471 18th St, NW, near 18th and Columbia. t, if you guys are bringing luggage, I suggest that you cab from the metro (Woodley Park/Zoo) It claims to be Adams Morgan, but it's a 10-15 minute walk from there. You shouldn't have trouble getting a cab, it's right there on Conn. Ave.

OK, it looks like we will be able to get back to Sparky's to collect luggage before heading to the airport, so that's not an issue. I am extremely tired and that may translate into being a little late tomorrow, so no one be alarmed if I'm not there at 11 on the dot.
