Looking at the dates on the messages, they seem to come in spurts. (Good
thing Densie is not on this list, cuz she would turn that around into
something dirty. :)

Working hard, talking less. :)

I see a number of viable options for us for Saturday din-din, including:
Ann Sathers. Known to be t-friendly. Lakeview area. This is the only
place in the Lakeview area where I've heard good things first hand.
Also has good reviews.
Buddies. Assumed to be t-friendly. Lakeview area. Good reviews. I assume
this is a bar and grill type place.
Carson's. Andersonville. We ate there last year.
Kit Kat. Lakeview area, mixed reviews.

Good point, and I think for this reason we can exclude anything that
is either not in the GLBT area or not known to be t-friendly.

A couple of my own thoughts here. I want to go for maximum participation
here, therefore I think we should throw out any consideration of any
place not known or assumed to be t-friendly for Saturday.
I admit this is somewhat selfish, but I don't want a place that has
(loud) entertainment during dinner. I want a place where we can talk
without competing with a singer (or worse, a lip-sync).
We also probably want something in the general area of the bars.
Of all those suggested, I see Buddies and Ann Sathers as our best
two choices.
If we can't reach a consensus, we can always choose the DLVORG way,
with a call for votes. :)
