Advance birthday date grab

[geekchick]

Given the scheduling nightmare that trying to find a date for a holiday party was, I'm going to snag this now before everyone schedules themselves all to hell and gone. Grab your datebooks! :)

I turn 35 on April 21. I want to snag a table or two at Sakura in Fairfax on Saturday the 22nd and have dinner with some of my favorite people. It's been five years since my last big birthday party, I figure it's probably safe now. ;) Crash space will likely be available if needed.

I have never met you, but hell, it's a local japanese steakhouse I haven't been to. I'll see if I can scrape up a date, but even if I can't, I'd be happy to join you.

Eeeeexcellent.

It would be really silly to drive 10 hours one way for dinner, wouldn't it?

[geekchick]

Depends on whether you turn around and drive right back. =)

I think she's worth driving two hours (and nearly missing a flight) for just a passing kiss...

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but we've already established that you're weird. Just look at who you hang out with!

;-)

Totally agree. I'll be there!

!@#$!!!!

Lemme guess: finals?

[quasigeostrophy.livejournal.com]

First final is the Saturday right after that (the 29th), so not exactly, but very close to them. Plus, the day of my first final (gotta love a Saturday morning statistics final) is the day Toni and I usually shoot the JDRF gala, which runs from about 3pm to midnight. Ergo, my biggest concerns are just prep time for the stuff following.

Why am I doing this again?

[datagoddess.livejournal.com]

Because you're enjoying it, even with the not-so-fun stuff.

[geekchick]

Because there's a Ph.D. in a field you're really interested in at the other end of the tunnel.

Is that the place we went where there were drunken Australians, not far from your old apt.?

Saturdays are really hard to finagle, travelwise for me, or I'd be a maybe...

[geekchick]

Yes, it's the one across from the Carousel o'Meat (a.k.a. Malibu Grill).

Hmmm I'll see what I can do.

Would be nice to hang out and not wreck the party

[geekchick]

Can't say you don't have enough warning. ;) Come down! Come hang out.

Ray and I could be up for that -- we love Sakura. :-)
