Naw. A long time ago I metioned to Harry that I come to Birmingham every two years like clockwork so you might be thinking of that. I hope Harry or Vern notices this thread cuz I would love to meet them as well. .
oh yeh. if they dont notice ill drop them a line. they live a few blocks from my house in the same neighborhood. it is kind of funny to see them drive by my house everyday.


Your wife will understand if you miss the birth for this. :lookaroun

I'll bother our secretary next week and try and get a flight that has me arriving early on Sunday. Usually, I take the shuttle from the airport to the hotel, but I have waited on that thing for ridiculously long periods of time before, so maybe I'll take a cab if we have an early afternoon Sunday lunch lined up.
right! :lol: honey, just text me and let me know how things go... ill be downtown at lunch with some people from the boards. lol

hey, there is a Starbucks right across the street from the DoubleTree downtown. if not that sunday, maybe breakfast. if lunch on sunday is doable, Jim N Nicks is right up the street and it is superb Bar B Que! i live 2 or 3 minutes from downtown..... WAIT. that is when our baby is due! :lookaroun i might be busy.

Jim N Nicks is the best! You are talking about the one across from St. Vincents, right?

I'm going to try my best to come. it's a ways away, so I'll better know closer to time. I don't live far at all from Joel, Harry and Vernon and we still haven't had the chance to meet.

I was all set to jump in and point out the following:

But Heidi beat me to it! :(

I will add that she did 5 hours each way WITH THE HEATHENS!* :lookaroun
















* Who were absolute angels while I was with them!

SHould I add in here that although Monty is NOT an axe murderer, I'm beginning to think he may in fact have a little problem with reality :ROFLOL:

oh, i was refering to the one in five points. the one in Lakeview (down from st vincents) moved to five points and if im not mistaken, the Lakeview turned into a Golden Rule. :rolleyes: silly bar b que places.

anyway, JnN's has the best cheese rolls. they are to die for. the chocolate pie aint to shabby either.

:fork: yes, we must meet soon for a lunch or something. i mean seriously, i have spent the weekend with Masteryoda and Wannabebelle and they live a few states away. it is just unexceptable. :D

I don't really care for Taylor's music :lookaroun . I do like Bo's music though.

i would prefer taylor over bo... but to be honest, i never even heard taylor album after idol. i knew it would be crap. he is better in a bar doing old covers. :D

I haven't bought either one's cd. :eek: I have heard both on the radio. I've seen Bo sing in person, and i thought it was good. He's a really nice guy too. My daughter was so excited when he came to sing at her school and she got to sit in the front row. :lol:

Since I don't ever go to any of the bars, I've never seen Taylor sing. I bet you are right on that one though.

my dad does that sometimes... he will call and ask if i want their game tickets for the Alabama game that week and i will say that i will sell them for him (in the case that i have somehting to do and cant attend the game myself) and i will sell them for $20 or so more then what he wants for them and pocket it. i dont think it is stealing really... it is a finders fee and my gas money and time selling them. talk about :drevil:

So...I'm flying in Saturday night. Thus, If I don't meet someone on Sunday I'm gonna feel like a doofus.

Bump, let's make some specific plans

OK guys. I'm flying in Saturday night. I'll be free Sunday until 6PM, so I could meet folks for breakfast or lunch. Let me know your thoughts.

hey guys... i wonder if we should take him to the jim n nicks in 5 points?.... or if he wants a non-bham chain, somehting in Lakeview. i just figure somehting like JnN's wouldnt care if we sat at the table and chit chatted for a bit.

im sure sam will love to come as well. all 7.75 pregnant months of her. :D

sunday lunch works for me. we have to take some pictures and post in PML.

BTW, we cant do the Fishmarket anymore. they really over salt the veggies and the last 3 times, the fish hasnt been that great. i mean come on... you are a fish market. that is what you do. :rolleyes:
