We had ourselves a meetup

[Lydia Leftcoast]

at Galactic Pizza this evening, with five DUers in attendance: GAspnes, dflprincess, SuporMomFreeatlast, dpbrown, and me, Lydia Leftcoast.

The atmosphere was pleasant, the conversation sparkling as usual, and the pizza delicious. We also got to see the cleverly dressed messengers taking off to deliver pizzas on their human-powered vehicles.

I'm sure others will post pictures on this thread.

So where were the rest of you, especially chickenscratching, whose birthday we were prepared to celebrate? :-(

2. Ended up eating pizza tonight also.

We had a nice day at the zoo. I thought about swinging by Galactic Pizza, but two very tired kids would have made it an iffy proposition. Hopefully next time...

My wife and I have really turned hard to the left in the last coupla years.

urgent plans came up and things got outta hand.
i hope you guys had fun!

10. And it kicked serious butt

Great conversation, tons of chocolate that was to have gone to the missing chickenscratching and bison sausage pizza in a socially conscious pizza restaurant.

Y'all better come to the next one. Who knows what cool restaurant you've never been to you might get to visit.

12. Oooh, you had the Paul Bunyan?

I love that one. Well actually I haven't had a "bad" pizza there yet. Last time I was there I tried the Chicken Thai and the "Classic." Both outstanding.

And no, we didn't really bring presents, but if it's chocolate you like, SuporMomFreeAtLast had cartons of Girl Scout cookies for sale. :-)
