bilrus Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Just to bump this up - I had proposed, and a number of people expressed interest in - going to Sodere tomorrow night. But I then found out that I needed to be out of town for work tomorrow. So I just wanted to make sure that everyone was aware that I haven't done any prep work for this. I still want to do it soemtime, but tomorrow won't be the time for me. I hope everyone else that wants to still does though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you find the lone bottle of Dom Perignon sitting on the shelf behind the bar as strangely out-of-place as I do (it's probably safe to say it hasn't been sold). Cheers, Rocks. P.S.

porcupine Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 (edited) How was it? It wasn't. Mr. P and I got in traffic so bad that we bailed when it was clear we'd be more than an hour late. Bilrus toughed out the traffic for two hours to find that Sodere was closed! so he ate at Etete. And Lydia R was there mostly on time, but it was still closed, of course. D'oh! Note to anyone planning future events: call first to confirm that restaurant will be open; get cell phone numbers of other people so you can apologize in real time for not showing when fucked by traffic. <banging head> We may try again in a week or two.
