count me in.

i prefer detroit beer company over coach...but don't listen to me...i am sick as a dog, at work, preparing for a late night planning commission public hearing, which i've been warned that will be a long night...so, i might just be a wreck tomorrow...

sorry about the venue choice, simples. let's start at coach and if people are not feeling it, move on to dbc. they're actually surprisingly close. take it easy tonight and hope you can make it tomorrow.

cryzko? you out there? chili?

well you are the afterbirth bag that flies out after the baby

jafidler, if you are drinking jack & coke then you are never really alone. I'm always there in spirit...of course, that might still be enough to make you cry

anybody else think that le bossman and puddles need their own "detroit ex-pat archinect" get-together and leave the true locals alone?

i think we need to make y'all some "i'd rather be in detroit" bumper stickers.

you mean ya'll?

simples, how was the pc meeting? you gonna make it?

I have a client meeting at 5:30 in West Bloomfield. Depending on how long that takes, I'll try to make it.

Sorry guys, something has come up and I'm not going to be able to make it..

ether, man, this was for you. i'll be there tonight, but is there another day that would work for you before you leave?

I know and I'm really sorry. It's just a crazy week. I'm flying out to Philly Friday. With all that needs to be done before, I just can't get away tonight. I'll be around next week. Can we revisit then?

don't worry about it, but let's be sure to catch up before your move. va and i are anxious to hear how you and the fam are doing.

all other detroit archinecters, i'll be at coach around 6:30, and as an added bonus incentive the first round is on me.

btw, is it really "ya'll"? damn, i'll always be a yank.

I think, gramatically speaking, it's y'all. The apostrophy replaces the o and the u in you making "you all" into "y'all."

it's ya'll. trust me. gramatically speaking does not count.

jafidler /// i was sick as a dog yesterday...took the day off and laid in bed coughing up bits of lung...the mrs. is pissed i decided to come to work today, and everyone here is looking at me like a have the plague...

ether///i knew i was in trouble when there was a channel 7 action news van outside city hall...i used the last bit of my voice to get the project approved, then got home at around 11:30, and passed out...healthy stuff!!!!...they might've approved the project out of sympathy...since we are both in RoyalOak, let me know if you just want to grab a more impromptu drink sometime before you take off...

get better, simples.

improptu beer in the hood sounds good. i'll holler next week once things calm down..

ja, did you dance a jig on the bar again? we should post pictures...

ether, i don't know. i asked va how you spell "you all" in southern? she said, "Y-apostrophe-A-L-L" you may speak differing southern dialects;)

wild times last night at coach. after one too many bailey's and coffee, va kicked out one of the windows of the curtain wall and actually scaled the building, spidey-style, all the way down from the 80th floor. if that wasn't impressive enough, i think the temperature was -14 degrees with 45 mph winds.

2009 meet-up? 2010 meet-up?

i work downtown, and can always do a few after-work beers...just name time and place!!!

same here. it came up on another detroit thread - anyone up for foran's?

anyone ride a bike? i've never been able to scour downtown with anyone archifriendly (and on a bike).

i have an old diamond back freestyle bike that i need to tweek a bit...

i'm game for what ever.....

I've got a bianchi fixie, we'd be one hell of a posse. Posse is <4, right?

Raleigh Mojave 4.0... was lookin' to get a Specialized Allez Elite road bike this summer, but my hours were cut! I still have the budget for a few beers, though.

when do we do it?! did I hear Foran's?! All local beer on tap sounds good to me!!!

unfortunately, the only day that works for me this week would be tomorrow after work (6-ish). anyone game or is that too short notice?

how about doing it some time next week...this week is no good for me either...

Weather permitting, I'll be golfing this evening.

Chili, where do you golf in the city?

anywhere...theres enough open lots.....

floor tom, snare, craaassshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Rackham is about a mile from my house, so it's convienient, but I like to hit different courses occasionally.

alright...next week, FORAN's...6ish...Monday, Wednesday or Friday...who is in!?

Class Wednesday and Friday. Monday may work.

i guess i can swing by on monday.... might have to fight the little rush hour traffic coming from rochestor...

dammit...i am out tonight...

How about we bring our flasks to 8 mile/mound and have a round at the abandoned velodrome??
