I'm sure to be asking for ~ma the day of, but so far so good. I've had one good phone interview, and my copyediting test in French went very well (which unfortunately means I now have one in Italian, which is much much shakier).

The interview is at 7pm with someone staying in the Inner Harbor. Anyone have suggestions where we might meet besides her hotel?

Ah shoot I was going to recommend a yummy noodle place where I had lunch 2x during my jury duty this week and last but they are not open for dinner. I'll check with my restaurant reviewer friend and other downtown worker friend for some recommendations.

Also, I'll probably drive over much earlier than that since I got lost on my last trip. Would anyone be up for meeting for a drink around 5:30ish?

I would be!! I think I'm working at home that day due to early afternoon dr.'s appt.

an interview (an interview that would mean I'm that much closer to moving to SF--yeah!)

I second that Yeah!

Aw man, I wish I could be helpful, but if we're talking restaurants, I'm a bust because I eat out so infrequently. Harborplace right on the water has a fair number of non-fastfood places, some even fancy (well, sorta so.) Everything down there is pretty much destination-oriented or business- Science Center, Aquarium...hey, there's alway the B&N in the neat building if you need a quiet place! It's all pretty walkable, if a little chilly in this weather.

Sure!

I know. I'm actually excited about the job, but it's the idea of San Francisco that makes me swoon.

Heck, if the most I get out of the interview is the chance to have drinks with lisah and sarameg, it will all have been worth it.

I just found heard about Mexican Cokes for the first time yesterday. Canadian Coke is also made with sugar.

Canadian coca-cola is a highly tradeable commodity across the formerly longest undefended border. (cane sugar not HFCS)

I traded some coke, good beer and some tylenol with codeine for some cask reserve single malt scotch (restricted in Canada) last summer and both parties were quite happy with the exchange.

Figures the free trade agreement would find another way to hose the small entrepreneur.

Listen to lisah. She Knows People. Heh.

That's pretty swoon worthy already. I'm jealous. I admit it.

sarameg at least IS very charming!
