1. Lunch after the counter-inaugural ?

Anyone up for meeting for a mutual thawing out ?

Options are:

Loughmiller's
Legal Beagle
Great Divide
Lockerbie

PM Voltaire for directions, the only one I'm familiar with is Loughmiller's - directly across from Gov't Center South.

Let me know ...


:hippie:


Ps ~ I know Blair !! :silly:

2. Count me in!

Let's get together afterwards and walk as a group to whichever place we choose to meet. It will also help the poor FBI agents that have to report on our "subversive" activities instead of investigating the real terrorists.

3. I like The Beagle
