Well I think I'm going to take the day off (it's a 7 hour drive soo. . .) but I was hoping to get there in time to grab a bite if you guys wanted too.

Check out the Browncoat Online Photoalbum. Thank Fray101. http://clik.to/photoverse

Thanks!!!

Regarding my cheese worship: I'm originally from Wisconsin. And you know what they say...

"Once you've been in the Dairyland... you never leave."







Now we're finishing this deal, and then maybe we'll come back for those morons who got themselves caught. You can't change that by getting all... bendy...

oy! 7 hrs! What dedication!

If there is going to be feasting before hand I may have to see if I can leave work early that day. Especially with all this talk of burritos.

Standp-oh, I understand the worship of the cheese. My family is from Minnesota. We are never without Colby.

mmmmmm.

Excellent! Truly a kindred spirit, then. My wife and I lived in the Twin Cities for a decade before moving down here. First thing I said was, "Hey where's the cheese?"


"...And why no basements? And what's a carport?"



" ... grits? Really? You're kidding, right?"

*shudders at the thought of grits*

I live in SC, grits are everywhere, but I cannot stand them. Insipid.

Though I am very fond of Malt-o-meal.

LOL -I have to confess, I was converted - scoffed at them at first, but my SC in-laws make these cheese grits (aha - it's the cheese) that I absolutely dig.

Never got much Malt-o-meal as a kid. My grandparents were always pushing the Cream of Wheat

blech. What a perfectly good waste of cheese.

BUT, back to the (original) subject:

When/where will we be meeting? And will there be the consumption of food before-hand?

If anyone's been following the UB, there's going to be a birthday banner for Joss that we can all sign and at 9:30pm, everyone's supposed to join in singing happy birthday to him (everyone from all 35 screenings are supposed to be doing this all together. It's a big thing). SO, we'll need to be fed, watered, assembled, etc. before then.

Also, if you're all very lucky, there may be brownies. Special Serenity brownies. And before anybody asks, NO, they're aren't that kind of special.

oooo, brownies :drool:

I was just wondering if there will be food? I'll be driving straight from work, so I'll be there around 8 (I hope) with the bright, shiny banner in tow. And Lord knows I'm going to be hungry by the time I get there

W.Wren,
That's what I'm going to be doing too. I also will be hungry.

Does someone who lives in the area know what restaurants are available that would be good for meeting/handling large crowd of frenzied fans/serves food that nearly everyone would like/doesn't cost a fortune.

Someone mentioned the burrito place earlier Qdoras? That would work for me if it works for everyone else and meets the criteria.

I haven't checked the UB recently. Is there a plan over there in place already for meeting up or eating or whatnot?

Suddenly very hungry for lunch.
