Sorry for the delayed response @greygarious, but I was blissfully screen-free for much of yesterday and today.
I am hoping that these meetups will be as inclusive as possible, so perhaps there will be one in the Metro West region, where I think many Onions live. I’m sure the Onions are a trustworthy dependable bunch, but I’m not sure how comfortable any of us would feel commandeering your car into the city.
Let’s see how this plays out when we revisit this in the fall.
Just a quick update on what I said above: I visited High Street Place again this weekend and it was, to my relief, much busier than I’ve ever seen it. Around 7:30 on Saturday night, maybe 150 people there. Still plenty of empty tables, however, and it was way too easy to grab a couple of seats at the bar at Bubble Bath. We enjoyed a flight of sparkling wines ($30 for three 3oz pours) and I eyed the Tenderoni’s pizza, which I’ve been meaning to sample…but alas, we had dinner plans elsewhere. Pizza next time for sure.
