Where's the fun in just announcing a time and place without arguing about it?
I know, we barely even argued about it over email. (VTSO, etc.)
DQ is obviously far too pretentious to meet at an honest-to-god American venue like a car dealership.
I mean, the announcement is so down to earth it isn't even in sentences.
1 I know, it preempts all first suggestions of Fresh Salt and where is the fun in that?
The nicest, unopened restaurant in Braddock is a car dealership.
If it ever opens and I can be bothered to go to the wrong side of the tunnel, we could have a meet up there.
A good one - star restaurant in Brussels, Restaurant WY, is in a car dealership. It was Mercedes-Benz but is now Smart.
One star might be fine in Brussels, but Braddock has standards.
Nobody even knows where Brussels is.
Allow me to be the first to suggest Drake's Dealership.
Wait, the Hamburger Quick isn't a car?
????? i'm *enthusiastic*, mossy, somehow you've gotten confused.
Your choice of language betrays you, I guess.
i'm going to assume this is tongue in cheek all 'round because the alternative is grim!
California has irony, but not in a way we can understand.
California's irony is just like your irony, Moby. Exactly like your irony.
I'm planning to be there tomorrow night.
It appears that we are bringing the offspring. If you must be obscene in conversation, do your best to use indirection and obscure vocabulary. (She's 5.)
You can't talk about politics without obscenities any more.
We just arrived, v crowded. Have on blue tights, standing outside.
I assume we have no reservation - ?
We've secured place in line for table, still loitering outside with charley and minivet.
We're inside now. Just look for the blue tights.
We are decamping to lost & found.
Looks like it will be about an hour for a table. Considering plan B. Going to check out alternatives.
I'm sensing a certain lack of coordination here, but A+ on the liveblogging.
Table secured outdoors at lost n found.
I can't load any comments on my phone for some reason. Phooey. I am here by the door but do not see familiar faces.
We're in the back at lost and found, Telegraph and 21st.

Have a great time everyone, sorry we bailed -- seemed wiser
Great liveblogging, too bad the LK's had to bail. Updates?
Nothing of note has happened this evening.
Lovely to see everyone, sorry lurid et al couldn't stay.
The night is young, yo. I'm only an hour behind you, and I'm watching.
We've all dispersed. I'm going to some bookstores because that's the kind of thing I do on Saturday nights. And also I don't go to the east bay much anymore.
Scene from BART: two people who don't know each other and are sitting on opposite ends of the car arguing over whether 1) one of them is shooting up and 2) if the alleged shooting up involves clean needles.
Those who attended and discussed the doppelganger legal drama will be pleased to learn that charges have been dropped.
And a large box of high end baked goods arrived today. That's my kind of resolution.
