Definitely!

5/7ths of us will be on the ground at MKE by 4:30 (supposedly). So we will hunt around for you all when we get to the hotel. Dinner sounds great. I'll poll the rest, but I figure everyone will be into it.

Maybe worth doing though they are not usually busy on a Weds night in winter.

I say we try to maximize our surprise segments, and take as many shots of tequila as would normally be allowed in full rounds.

I am struggling to remember a time when lots of shots has not worked out well for me, which must be why I continue take them. :D

IIRC they do take reservations. I think we had them the year of the bachelorette party.

The bachelorette party? Man, how lit was I to not remember that?

I do remember one year it seemed like it was family night, everyone seemed to be bringing out their kids to watch the Blackhawks game. And then there we were, shots after shots.

I think that was with Jeff, Joe Mac and his pals? Then we went back to the lodge bar, drank mooooore and attempted to play EOTB's game? Felt like hammered shit the next day. :oops:

Haha, yeah!

Anyway, I'll call tomorrow (they're closed now).

Say 630PM for 13? We can always pull up a couple more chairs if Handy's +2 show in time.

Don't forget the lemon drops!
They were actually bottom shelf tequila - thanks Chainsaw!
I'd like to add one more person - one of my guys from my South Bend group is going to the convention - I don't think he's on K&KA so no codename.

Kick ass!

(I mean, no one's said no--which mean's everything's permitted, right? I like EOTB's plan!)

Josh and I might be able to make it. We should be on the ground in MKE by 2:45. Weather willing, we should be at the resort between 4 and 5, I think.

Yeah, that was the year the bachelorette girls were flirting with Father Brian. We tried to tell them he was a bonafide Catholic Priest, but they didn't believe us. It was pretty funny! I think he is overseas these days, in Afghanistan, serving our troops.

Weather here in Milwaukee sucked yesterday, but it looks clear today. However, that whole post snow/no clouds thing is gong on, and it's a bit chilly. 9 degrees right now, with maybe low 20's at the hottest part of the day. Maybe not a day for shorts, but then again it's still not in the negatives.

It's always shorts weather. That's all I'm bringing!

Great! I will bump up the numbers.
