Agenda:

(1) Food

(2) It appears we need to put the MSP DO back on the table & kick it into the planning stage.

Just make up a number. Or, start from 1 but using roman numerals.

I'm in, unless something familial pulls me away.

Sounds like a fun couple of nights

Call it get-together A.

I might make this one, but 1) we will be in the middle of a major project that may keep me at the office late and 2) I will need transportation at least from the nearest LRT stop.

12/20 I will almost certainly not make--a friend of mine is getting me a Timberwolves/Lakers ticket for that night, so I will be there instead (the Wolves may be mediocre, but at least I can say I've seen Kobe play in person).

I dont understand why we are going to outback when GoalieMN is DYING, I tell you just dying, to go to IHOP *ducking*

After that fabulous service experience we had there about a month ago, I can't wait to return

I picked the Outback. You (Lehava) only tell me when to jump, not where!

I'm not a frequent visitor to MSP, and would be able to attend any future DO there only by chance. But I will be in Minneapolis Tuesday night, and might be able to make the meeting if my work doesn't run too late. Since this is posted here, I'm assuming you intend to invite any FTer, but I also recognize that it's not billed as a DO, and seems to be a get-together of regulars with an agenda to which I could not contribute very much. So if you prefer not to indulge newbies at this meeting, perhaps you could just give me bogus directions to the Bloomington Outback (either from Savage or from the Midtown Sheraton). If you do, please at least make them directions to some really good place to eat and my feelings won't be hurt at all.

Everyone is welcome, I will dig up directions and the proper Get Together # from the previous posts.

Time will be at 7 p.m.

Pickups at a nearby LRT are possible, preferably not the Mall of America station -- the Bloomington Central station by the Health Partners building (middle of the former Control Data HQ campus) would be better.

This group is really stuck on non-adventurous eating, hm?

New Year's resolution for MSP-based/bound FTers: Try some different places.

Oh, well. Helena Handbaskets, any and all FTers are welcome. I think MikeMpls just wanted to post an "agenda" so some of us would remember what we should talk about other than points! and miles! all the time.

Light rail pickup could also be done at the Ft. Snelling Park and Ride station (one stop north of the Lindberg terminal. It might save a few minutes of waiting/riding all the way down to Bloomington Central. I can probably help out if rides are needed.

You are most welcome and we really hope you will join us!!!!!!

Have you been to the IHOP lately??? Our dinner there was anything but non-adventurous *smile*

I believe you will find the correct answer is this is number 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heh. No, I haven't. Generally, ITRY to avoid IHOP whenever ICAN.

I can be at the Ft Snelling or Bloomington Central stations by 6:45 if I know I'll have a ride and where it will be...just let me know either here or in a PM.

BTW, if you haven't been to one of these, I have yet to see anything resembling an agenda, so feel free to join in.
