THX Thursday Outing

Submitted by Midnight on Mon, 07/30/2007 - 3:21pm.

Anyone up for an impromptu gathering in the Huntsville area this Thursday? We could use it as an opportunity for everyone to reclaim LAN equipment that was taken home by others this weekend. I'm fairly indifferent as to location and activity. Restaurants, bowling alleys, and bars have both worked out well so far. Throw out some suggestions. Traditional time has been 7 PM. Does that still work?

Starting next week I will be

Starting next week I will be able to go out on Thursday or whatever nights for a few weeks. I have my last final early Friday morning so going out Thursday night during my cram session is a no go. Those five week classes are a beast, but thankfully i shall be done with them until next summer.

I still have some

I still have some Huntsville Stars tickets laying around somewhere. That's a possibility if anyone else has them still from the game that was rained out.

Anywhere with a beer and something to snack on would be fine with me. It doesn't have to be anywhere with a large price tag either. A bar in a Mexican restaurant is coming to mind.

Mini-Golf at Southern

Mini-Golf at Southern Adventure could be pretty fun. Don't think they have alcohol, though.

Cheap Restaurants

Maybe Rosie's Cantina?

Personally, I'd pass on mini-golf, as it's not a great large group activity, but kudos for the idea.

I’ve heard a lot of great

I've heard a lot of great things about Rosie's, but I've never been. I'd be glad to join.

Just thought I'd toss an idea into the hat.

hmm, rosies sounds good

just make sure you mention which one....there's 3 I know of and one being built.

Thursday

I'll probably be able to make it whatever you guys do this time. Rosie's sounds fine to me. It's been a while since I've had mexican.

Ditto, Thursday is my final

Ditto, Thursday is my final exam. I will be available after 7pm though. But I will have a few weeks of freedom before I start fall classes.

Rosie's Cantina

Rosie's is awesome. A little noisy, but good food. I'm all over that idea.

We have to do a billiards night one day, though. :(

Midnight's picture

Rosies it is.

Which location is preferable? South Parkway is closer for me, but I think University may be closer for almost everyone else.

Slayer's picture

I vote parkway… but

I vote parkway... but that's just me.

Which one has the best food?

Which one has the best food? And aren't there two on University, or are one of them still in-progress?

New Rosies

Last I checked the new Rosie's Restaurant on University, "Gargantuan and Merciless Rosie's Cantina," was still under construction.

most convenient location

The best location for me is South Parkway, but I'll hit either one.

Midnight's picture

South Parkway looking better.

So far that's three votes for South Parkway. Unfortunately, I know the University location is much better for Oculus. If he's game for the South Parkway location then we'll call it confirmed.

I may come

If I can drag myself back out of the house.

Don't forget my hat...

I can't live much longer without my hat. :)

So South Parkway Rosie’s

So South Parkway Rosie's Cantina at 7PM? Is that the current plan?

Midnight's picture

Yes. South Parkway Rosies at 7 PM.

See everyone there.

Oculus's picture

Was this the

Was this the same Rosies I just heard about this morning on channel 19 that had an E-coli breakout, sending a few people to the hospital recently.

A co-worker of mine got it a couple of years ago from Backyard Burger on 72. He almost lost his whole colon. Would've had to had a bag on his side the rest of his life.

Not to cause any alarm or anything.

… So how about that one on

...

So how about that one on University?

Midnight's picture

E-Coli

That was Rosie's Taqueria at Whitesburg and Airport.

This Rosies is both non-infectuous and non-murderous.

Oculus's picture

HA!

HA! finally a use for non-murderous, and I missed out on the opportunity..

Beanor's picture

missed it again!?

ok, I have been to this place before: its huge! I know at this point in time I am too late but, seriously....I have never met any of you before, much less seen what you look like, and you want me to go to a huge restaurant and ask for...who!? Seem like this is going to be a "please try again." I am leaving my phone number up here knowing full well the risks. call me.

XXX XXXXXXXX (edit by Brick)

if someone gets a hold of me (chris, BTW) I'll be willing to try one more time. otherwise, its not worth the frustration

Re: missed it

Hey Beanor,

By 7:30 we were all sitting around a table sipping drinks and wondering where the waitress had run off too. Sorry it was too late. I just now took the liberty of editing out your phone number since by now it is way too late. If you really want it posted, feel free to put it back up there.

None of the people that were at this particular gathering carry web-browsers in their back-pockets...well...actually Rayne does, but she's too cheap to buy the data plan.

Anyways, sorry to miss you. Hope to catch you next time around.

- Brick

Chris, sorry you missed us.

Chris, sorry you missed us. Next time just meet us in the bar/waiting area when everyone gets there and it'll be easy. We can figure out a good way to meet; just let us know in advance you're coming.

RAYNE350Z's picture

Hey!!!!!!!!

I had the data plan I just never used it so NAH!!

Had a great time everyone. Look forward to meeting up again.

Beanor's picture

not asking for a miracle

just give me something feasible. A needle in a haystack might as well be just a haystack.

Here is my advanced notice: unless something really serious gets in the way, I'm coming to the next event.

here is my number again.

7976212

Seriously, if it takes 20million prank-calls to get one good one; so be it!
