So here's the scoop on weather: As usual, my weather karma did not hold for the Do and I managed to pick the one day out of the entire week that won't get above 70. In the past, we've always gone with the "suck it up" policy. So for now, assume that we will be assembling in the usual spot.
The usual spot: Enter the front of the restaurant. Turn to the right and walk. You will go out to the patio. We will be there.
I got a question about food, drink, etc.: For the ease of the restaurant, we consolidate everything onto one bill. Just keep track of what you ordered and add 25% at the end (18% tip, 7% taxes). Pay me in cash. It almost always works out correctly. My one "reward" as DoMaster is that I get the credit card spend (5% on restaurants at Discover this quarter), but if anyone else is dying for it, I'll pass along the bill.
