I will be home on April 10th. I'm planning on going to the next lunch on the west side which I believe is going to be the 13th? So any time after that works for me! There is a slight possibilty that I will only have 2 weeks at home this time. But hopefully I will have a 4 week vacation. It's too soon to know for sure. My relief on the ship quit the company, so I may have to stay over or come back early. , let me know what works for you guys. Spokane needs as much OC support as possible!!

I'll be going to the lunch that's planned on the 13th in the Seattle area. I saw somewhere that that was when it is going to be. How about we shoot for the 19th or 20th for the next one in Spokane?

Anybody reading this from the west side that can confirm the date/place ot city of your next big OC event?

Do we want to consider going over to the main meeting as a group? If we got five people to go, we could really cut down on gas expenses per person. Also, I'll be in Spokane on the 19th of April for a concert so I'm thinking that we should plan on an OC lunch that morning.

I won't be able to carpool. I am going to stay over there a few days to visit my uncles, my very old grandma and take care of some work stuff. Sorry about that. I am all good an interim lunch on the 19th. What concert?

I've been a huge Ani fan for almost a decade. I really want to go to that, but I am torn. Naomi Wolf, the author of "the end of America, a letter to a young patriot" is in town the same night. I can't make up my mind.

Naomi Wolf in town the same night as Ani Difranco???? AHHHHHH!! If I didn't already have tickets, I'd be torn on which on to go to. I can't believe that I've found another Ani fan in the gun community. Right on Jason, it's good to see some free thinkers out there. What time is she talking?

7:30 at the Bing Crosby center at EWU. Maybe I go see wolf and you see ani and we both use our fancy recorders and then share mp3's? Not sure how good we can get the audio though. Ani took a few years off from touring I heard. She is developing serious problems in her hands, limiting her guitar playing a lot. So they both should be great events. Wolfs book is absolutely shocking, so I think I am leaning towards seeing her speak. What she addresses is of uptmost concern to me. Let's just record them and share.

I have a pair of tickets to see Ani Difranco. That should be proof enough that all gun owners aren't rednecks that listen to country music and drive jacked-up trucks.

I plan on OCing everywhere but the Service Station. We missed you on the last lunch run. It would be great to get more people this time around.

Why no OC @ the Station? I have a family of 5, busy man.

I don't want to push my luck by OCing alone at an Ani Difranco concert in Spokane. That's just asking for me to get the cops called and I'd really like to be able to watch Ani without dealing with cops.

I can do lunch the 19th. I wont be able to bring the gf though. She is working that day so she could get that night off. Gotta go see Naomi Wolf. There are lots of other days I can do also if we want to do a larger lunch, or even two! :)

I was thinking maybe we could do another place downtown again. Maybe the steelhead grill or a different spot. Then we could use Cyrus o'learys as a back up since lunch went without a hitch there. Maybe the onion, p.f. Changs, steelhead, olive garden, twigs, o'dohertys. There are so many place to choose from! All within a few blocks of each other. Italian? Chinese? Burgers? Sushi? Fancier entrees?
Does anybody know what the policy is inside Riverpark Square?
So my initial vote is for the steelhead grill.
www.steelheadbarandgrill.com if you want to check out their menu.

what days will you be in town? 396th? 659th?
To answer the Grendel shooting requests, probably still won't be ready to shoot. I've got 40 rounds right now and I still have to mount and sight in my new scope. I don't know how much time I will have to get some ammo loaded. I know I need to get around to it, but I have a lot planned for my 4 weeks off the ship this time home
