Nashville folks: any thoughts on the Friday evening plan? I've been out of commission all week at a conference in Myrtle Beach and I'm still here and it's taking up a ridiculous amount of my time, from early morning until late at night, but I can check the board in between sessions. I'll be driving back tomorrow, getting back in the evening and then re packing and leaving early Friday so that I can get to Nashville by dinner time, but I won't have much chance to check the board on Friday. I'm driving directly to my friend J.'s house in East Nashville, and I'd like to at least courtesy invite her to join us for dinner if that's okay with everyone, since I'll be basically showing up at her house and leaving for dinner.
Anyway, sorry to post and run. There's no internet/cell access in the session rooms (!!!!) so I have to go outside in between sessions. Wut.
amyth, I say invite your friend! I might have a friend to invite also, if no one else minds. (That is, I do have a friend; I'm meeting up with her at some point, but I don't know if she's available for dinner.)
We haven't made any dinner plans for Friday, and maybe we should do that, just so we aren't all piling into Nashville at dinnertime in different places, all hungry with no idea where to go. Me, I'd be happy to jam into Gris's house Friday night, if he has room for that many people. Gris, can you still accomodate a crowd, or should we look for a restaurant for Friday?
Kate, were you able to find an Ethiopian restaurant for Saturday?
J. is up for Friday dinner! She also suggested a Sat. or Sun. matinee of Jupiter Ascending, which I haven't seen yet, and I thought some of y'all (esp. Zen) might be into that.
KANSAS IS GOOD! COME TO KANSAS!
Hey wait, I am! April 24 - 26, as a guest of Figments & Filaments.
Should I head for the Comfort Suites Airport when I get to Nashville, or will the group be out doing something Saturday afternoon?
According to our normal plans, we currently have room for four more adults, but could stretch a bit. Kate, Kates dh and daughter, amyth, liese, zen, J, right? We could handle it. More than that and I'm afraid we will be overcrowded (4 besides us already coming)
I may not be able to check this more tonight so if you guys decide to dine at chef Griz, you can sign up on this Google Sheet. Like I said, we can probably handle two adults more than the sheet shows on this special occasion.
Eta: our house is in East Nashville too so it is locationally convenient

Everyone who's coming to Nashville, e me at my board address and I'll send you my cell number, to help with coordinating.

I'm into that. It left here before I got to see it again.

Are you staying at the hotel, Matt?
Nope, I'm probably going to head back homeward after dinner and only stop somewhere on the way back if I start wearing out behind the wheel.
