so i can try and be accomadating to you.

is there a favorite day for you?

[mzteris]

5. The 13th?

The boyos and I are coming to the Triangle in a few days and staying until like the 14th or 15th.

We'll be in Wake Forest, but that's not far.

Mad Hatters? Where is that, exactly?

I'm not positive I (we) could make it, depending on what the boys' friends have planned for us, but it's certainly a maybe!

[supernova]

7. Across the street from Duke East Campus

It's on at the corner of Broad St and Main St. It's a revamped 50s diner turned cafe and bakery

[xchrom]

9. that would be wonderful!!!

i'd love to meet you.

pm supernova -- she lives there -- mad hatters is where the whole foods is -- i don't know if that helps.

and my schedule is flexible.

They're currently at the corner of Main and Broad. They moved from several blocks away a few years back, so some websearches may turn up the old address

[mzteris]

20. thanks

it's been a while since I've been in Durham!

I think it's not too far from my old chiropractor's office.

I lived in Durham from 83 until 94 - my son was born at Duke Hospital - then moved to Raleigh (then Wake Forest) - then Wisconsin :( .



Maybe we should drive over and see Duke Gardens.

Is Francesca's still there?

[struggle4progress]

21. Yep. It's on 9th Street.

Duke Gardens is on Anderson which becomes 15th(?) when it crosses the Durham Freeway (147). If you're headed SE on 147, the next bridge over the freeway joins Swift to Broad.

[Lex]

[lildreamer316]

29. Ooo. double entendre. We REALLY need your cool. Trust me. n/t

[ThomCat]

19. Um. I have no idea what your post means.

Either I'm really dense right now, or you are making a reference to something I don't know.

I'm probably really dense right now. Sorry.

Are you visiting Durham? Is an event visiting durham?

Either way, I hope you have fun. :)

[xchrom]

22. i'm visiting durham.

i was there not long ago and met supernova -- and it looks like i'll meet her for coffee again and more people -- which is really exciting.

[bridgit]

24. girl you are so racking the frequent flyer miles, yes...

pm supernova -- she lives there too.

[taterguy]

31. Check out our bridges

Does San Francisco have any as nice as this? I think not

[xchrom]

34. frankly -- i think that bridge needs a little gay.

very little and doesn't weigh very much.

[Anarcho-Socialist]

32. For a moment there

I thought you meant the Durham where I live.

[xchrom]

35. oh i'll get there -- then look out, baby --

gay will be breaking out all over!

[supernova]

37. I'm sure the original Durham

isn't gay enough! :D

:rofl:

:hi: Anarchist! I'm still planning to visit over there some day.

[xchrom]

39. bringing the rainbow love!

:woohoo:

[supernova]

42. Yes, indeedy!

:hug:

You're such a trip! D

[xchrom]

44. does the fifteenth sound good for coffee --

really -- i will have free time -- so i want to make it good for those on a schedule.

[supernova]

50. 15th is good for me. Lex? mzteris? lildreamer?

[Anarcho-Socialist]

46. Yes bring the gay home to the original Durham

:)

[xchrom]

47. i have friends in london that i visit --

so it's just a hop, skip and a jump to durham.

[Lex]

38. You are always messing up my Googling of various local things.

Well, your Durham is anyway. It makes for a confusing time once in a while before I realize "D'oh! that's the UK Durham!"

:hi:

[Anarcho-Socialist]

45. Well darn

it surely it isn't me... it's erm... Durham, Ontario. Yes that's right... the Canadians are to blame. :hi:

[supernova]

48. Your cathedral is bigger than ours

Durham Cathedral


Durham Cathedral Jr. (aka Duke Chapel)

[Lex]

49. Duke was copying!

nt

[xchrom]

51. is the fifteenth good for you

for coffee?

let me and supernova know.

[Lex]

53. I think so. I have some work-related things to take care of

that day and time is up in the air on that. Mad Hatter is very near my work and home so it shouldn't be too hard to juggle my schedule and meet you all there. :hi:

[xchrom]

54. that would be wonderful!

lets see if we can get supernova to give us a time -- i'm the one who's all flexible here -- ao i'm happy to make everyone happy.

[NuttyFluffers]

33. ... and bringing your own parade!

we bay area citizens love it when our own go forth to spread the gospel of san francisco.

slap on the Sylvester and bust out the gold lame' fans! :party:

[xchrom]

36. gasp!!! -- SYLVESTER! mighty real, baby --

[supernova]

60. Oops, sorry.
