...on the plus side the heat index will only be 101 by the time we would get there.

....well, my take, is that its a little too hot for anything outside. as for all things MAM, that doesnt imply that its cancelled or moved, just that Grumbler will most likely not attend. we have to wait and see how the rest of the votes come in.

c'mon folks...let's make a decision. Are we doing this or not? If so, where. Why wouldn't you attend, Grumbler?

the heat........and i believe I am the only dissenting opinion, so it shouldnt prevent others from showing up, I just dont like dealing with the heat. so far, I see two people who would like to go..........so pick a place and show up.

My vote is for postponement too, but mine is based on a looming deadline and a need to get some code working.

Hi guys,
Is this event being postponed?? I'm from Toronto, Ontario and will be down in Baltimore for a Class re-union in the weekend of August 05. I'd like to meet you MINI guys down there but I'm not familiar with the area though. But you can get me an address of the venue and I'll let the NAV takes me there
Hope to see you guys soon
Cheers
Stephen

Just so y'all know, I plan on going, just as soon as the date/time/venue get sorted out!

Also, Janelle (aka BIGBADWLF) will likely come along, too!

well it's a good thing we didn't go, given the storm that just blasted through here. It was a corker!
So, tomorrow night at the Mexican cafe?

Are going to do it on Friday? I can't really undestand if "tomorrow " means today or Friday.

FYI On Thursdays I teach at the Smithsonian so no Margaritas ! !!! (at least until the mid of August. )

I'm good for today. Tomorrow at that time I'm going to the local drag strip. See what my car can do (that is if the weather holds).

I might just motor to Annapolis via 450 (a nice slow twisty road). I don't know..but Tate isn't big on doing some quickly. May be a pain and ask for an appt to fix the light.

Sure. You leave it in the unpowered fridge, and rely on insulation and the fact that it's already cooled take it from there. The more you open that fridge for a "whiff", the worse off you'll be.

Quit fence-sitting, and get some 'ritas!

Marina will have the "Shirley Temple", thanks!
