Lunch with Red Ryder anyone?

[Hagoth]

In another thread RR mentioned that he'll be in the Salt Lake valley this Friday, June 18th.

Anybody want to meet up for lunch?

[wtfluff]

Yes.

(Yee-Haw!!!)

[Hermey]

I'm in.

[Red Ryder]

I’m pretty flexible with schedule on Friday so I can travel wherever is most convenient for everyone.

[stuck]

Would like to, but my wife might ask questions and then that could be problematic. It would be great to meet you guys sometime though.

[Hagoth]

Hermey suggested a food court, which I think is a good idea.

South Town is most convenient for RR. Fashion Place is midway north/south. City Creek is best if you want to head over to the temple afterward and do a few endowments. Any preferences? Or other suggestions?

Noon? 11:30 to beat the lunch crowd?

I wish I could make it! I've got a campout that weekend planned with my son so I'll have to take a raincheck. Leave a seat open for me like Elijah?

[moksha]

Can't make it, but I will send my spiritual stomach for a nosh.

[Hagoth]

OK, I'm gonna call it.

Friday 11:45 at the Fashion Place mall food court. I don't know either mall very well, but from online photos Fashion place looks like it has better seating for a small gathering of thugs.

Let me know if that doesn't work for anyone. Any suggestions about where to sit or a method of mutual identification (apart from the dark cloud of apostasy) would be welcome.

Wait... Isn't RR going to be wearing his Cowboy Hat?

No?

I think it's Hermey's turn to wear the NOM Santa Hat.




My schedule looks good so far... But we're not even half-way through the week.

[Red Ryder]

Works for me. Thanks for throwing this together Hagoth!

Ironically for our NOM lunch groups, Beetbox used to bring a white binder with a picture of your avatar. Worked perfectly.

[stuck]

I think I'll try to make it. I should be in the vicinity on that day.

[Hermey]

i don't know about the hat part , but I'll be there. That works great!

Excellent!

[Hagoth]

I'll try to be there by 11:30.

For those who don't know me, I'll be in my standard physical configuration: 63-year old male, shorts, black T-shirt, gray cap, short gray beard, tiny conjoined twin growing out of the back of my neck.

[Hermey]

Me: fat guy, plaid shirt, jeans, and a dark cloud following me as I look to steal a bagel and kick a puppy.

[wtfluff]

My schedule is still looking good, so I should be able to join.

Since y'all are too wimpy to wear a silly hat, I'll wear a "Panama" style hat: (Mine is not quite as cool as this one)

And my new favorite shirt hopefully:

Well then... I look like Hagoth and Hermey had a baby, but clearly not as well dressed as Fluffy.

I packed my temple robes and hat but they got confiscated at the airport by the bakery K-9 unit so I’m unrecognizable by Mormon standards.


ETA:
Nice to meet you all in person. Wonderful discussion.

Fluff won the t-shirt contest.

[Hagoth]

It was great to meet you RR!

You to Stuck!
