Bloggers Bash Update

After much discussion below, we have some tentative plans for the next Memphis Bloggers Bash. Garibaldi's near the University of Memphis campus (Walker) has been proposed as the location. And a weekend day has also been suggested for this time. I'd like to leave some time so the folks who have to plan for going out can have room to make arrangements. Would Saturday the 5th of February be fine, or is the Sunday Super Bowl a problem? Any other important events or games on the 5th?

How about making this one an afternoon Bash? Is that OK? Or is night time the right time? Would 2PM be OK, so folks can still go out that night or not have to get evening babysitters? Or would 7PM be better, so the young people can leave the Bash to party later? Of course, a lot of Bashers like to drink, so is that a factor?

What say you? Is Saturday the 5th OK? And would afternoon or evening be preferable? How late is Garibaldi's open on Saturday, anyway? Do they get swamped with families or college kids?

For those of you who haven't been before, please come. Bashes are first and foremost social occasions. We are respectful of each other and there to have fun. Lots of lively discussion of anything and everything, but we haven't had anyone get ugly or embarrassing yet. You can be a wall-flower or exubertastic! It's about putting faces to blogs, meeting each other, and cross-pollinating; those are the reasons for the Bashes.

OK, that, drinking, and hitting on Rachel. But still, tons of fun!
