McRupekoeclapespe

I’d like to do a catch-up dinner with you all. I’m thinking the weekend of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. So, something like the 16th of January, we could all go out to dinner somewhere… hence the McRupekoeclapespe moniker for this post. Naturally, all others who I wasn’t able to wedge into the catchy name are absolutely invited. RSVP* here with regrets, suggestions, and acceptances. It will be awesome.

* I just learned this is an abbrevation of the French phrase répondez s’il vous plaît. Interesting.

A. I am SUPER excited to have my own tag.. That is SWEET.

B. We’re totally in. Let us know when, where and if/what to bring and we’ll be there!!

C. We got a puppy! Her name is Lucy. Sadly, we are bad parents and failed to recognize that our building is not only smoke-free but also pet-free.. :( A sad, sad day in Rupertville. So, for now she is staying at my parents’ out in the country in WI and having the greatest time being spoiled!

Mykala

The 16th is no good— check with me before you post this stuff! Haha.

17th, perhaps?

Vanessa

Works for us.. we’re old boring married people. You could put almost any weekend up there and our ridiculously blank social calendar would have no problem with it. Hopefully it works for the not boring people!! :)

Dan McKeown

Yes please. To either one.

Alexander Micek

It’s looking like the 17th! Missing input from -koeclapespe. I’ll start to think about restaurants, locations, etc.

Dan McKeown

One thing, and I hate to pile more pressure on you Alex but we have been without a solid picture update for some time now. Any good ones coming up?

Nils

Hey TumbleDryers, It’s sad and a little shocking, but I can’t remember exactly the last time I got to hang out with Alex. Was it Thanksgiving 2006? Was it Winter Break 2007? Some other occasion that has inexplicably escaped me? Hmm, I just can’t remember. And that’s sad. After catching up on the greater details of Alex’s life through his TD posts, it’s pretty clear that he’s had good reason for being so elusive these past several months. Anyways, I may be out of town in Madison over the 16th and 17th in which case the overdrawn period of time between meeting up will be extended. We’ll see what happens though. If Madison plans fall through, I will definitely join in on the dinner but my availability remains to be seen.

PS That’s so like Steve not to respond in a timely fashion. He’s always gotta do things HIS way. So ungrateful, so selfish, so “busy” all the time. I hope Steve reads this and cries.

Hmm, well I am not in that made-up-word-title so I’m going to officially invite myself. Let me know when and where pahleese!

Vanessa +1

That word’s made up?! I thought it was some uber cool better-than-me-celebrity’s baby’s name..

Dan McKeown

Come to think of it, I do not think I have ever met Nils. Have I?

Alexander Micek

Dan, you’ve never met Nils. This is shameful. Hopefully, we’ll rectify this before 11 July, 2009!

Markoe

I would like to come very much. I do have to do a little finagling with the schedule at work though (I’m supposed to close that night).

Where are we going? Who’s coming? I’m excited! I like the word finagle!

Alexander Micek

Yes, finagle away, please! Dan: photos are on extended hiatus due to time constraints — but we’ll take some this coming Saturday evening. You’ll be there, right?

Oh, and I’ll call everyone with the reservation details when I’ve made them — Mykala and I were thinking Buca di Beppo.

Alexander Micek

And I thought I mentioned this in my voicemail, but if I forgot, well then tell Emily to come along if she’s available!

Markoe

I’m in! She’s in! Let’s meet some new people and eat far too much food!

Dan McKeown

Yes!! Buca’s sounds amazing!

Alexander Micek

Final plans: dinner, 7:30pm, Buca di Beppo, St. Paul, TONIGHT!

Alexander Micek

SUCCESS! Seeing everybody was awesome. I’m still full.

Vanessa

NO kidding! Pretty sure I still smell like garlic.

Dan McKeown

Mykala! Your birthday, tomorrow, any exciting or extravagant plans?

Mykala

Hmmm… I will be attending class at Saint Mary’s University from 9:00am -12:45pm, then I will be teaching at Dance Tech Studios from 2:15-10:15pm. An almost 12 hour day not including commute time! HOORAY!

Is that exciting or extravagant? I don’t think so. Birthdays are kind of LAME when you’re a grown-up… I’m glad we got to go out last weekend! At least I got cake! :)

Alexander Micek

Happy birthday, Mykala! Yay!
