erin_o, if that were my prospective date, I'd be all over him (or at least his choice of locations). Of course, I love ice cream, and ice cream loves me back. I do not think his choice is irrational. However, you should definitely counter with a choice that makes you happier. I'm sure there has to be somewhere in Portland that you both will, if not love, at least not hate.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
It won't be rude. But turning down ice cream, well, that's blasphemy in my book.
But oh, Portland. Loved the coffee-bakeries there, very much. Especially the one next to Powell's books.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I met someone from OKC at my local ice cream shop, mostly because the people at the shop all know me by name (yes, really!) so I figured that was a good, safe spot. I don't think your prospective date would be unhappy with an alternative, especially with an intolerance for dairy.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Texas state fair announced we will have fried beer and fried margaritas this year (as well as fried frito pie). Blech.

Fried beer? Fried margaritas? WTF?

Ann, that's a ferret.
I've had fish fried in beer batter, so I can sort of get the idea of fried beer. But fried margaritas are beyond me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Fried Beer™ - Beer-filled pretzel pocket is deep-fried to a golden brown. One bite and the escaping beer serves as a dipping sauce. 21 and over, ID required.
Huh. Trademarked, even.
