Friday Night Dinner at Lennys

“you know the trip is getting big when it starts spawning mini side-trips”

“Wounded Knee
Stovestomper
Ms. Doolittle
Crash Bang
Oldog
Dhutch?
stove swiper?”

“Damnit! You spelled it wrong!”

“i spelled it wrongly”

“Lenny’s? Is that Denny’s illegitimate brother?”

“Sure is zac. Denny opened up a place where you can get crappy food around the clock. Lenny opened a restraunt well know for their pizza and fresh made BEER!”

“I'd like to do the dinner at Lenneys. Only dinner. Need to hitch a ride there and back to Indy. I'd do the hike also, but the family is getting together for xmas that weekend.”

“Steal a car and join us.”

“i've got a vehicle, but need fuel. Surely someone will be driving through town and could tie me to their dear/goat rack or sum'n.”

“okay, suck the fuel out of someone else's car and join us.”

“Yep I'm in for Lenny's whatever the correct spelling may be.

goat if'n you need a ride, I'll get you. Do you have any time Friday? I'd like to head through Indy sometime earlier in the afternoon and get camp set up before heading out to dinner. You could get a very short hike in, go to dinner and be back in Indianapolis for the family deal. One provision however is that you bring the big horn, K?

Mapquest says 53 miles from Indianapolis to Bloomington. Is that about right?”

“lenny's is a brewery? awesome.”

““you know the trip is getting big when it tarts spawning mini side-trips”

I love it!

But so far, you and I are the only one's signed up for it, Crash, with the goat as a possible 3rd wheel. lol

“Hey, cool... Deal, I'll bring the big green horn.

Yes, Indy is about 50 miles from Bloomington. Can we stop at my favorite IU roadtrip'n liquor store to purchase a 40 for the ride down!? (ahhh, the memories) I'd be available to ride with you Friday to the campsite, then return to Bloomington for dinner. A quick hike would be nice.
Lost a toenail on the upper portion of the Knobstone last week. I understand that the lower portion is easier.

I'll need a ride back to Indy from Lennys. Who is up for the task?”

“Sorry, didn't realize this was something I needed to sign up for.”

“goat, I'll take you back to Indy. Right now the plan is to be in your area about 1pm ish to pick you up. Be at camp around 2-2:30. Drive out for dinner, take you back and sit around the campfire after that.

e-mail my profile address so that I know where to find you.

Unless anyone else is dying to be involved.”

“i'm throwing around the idea of doing this...i'm off that day...i'll let ya know”

“bring the better half and the little one”

“I'm a maybe for this. Hey are you planning to get reservations? Lenny's can get kinda packed on a weekend night!”

“You know... I can not do the hike Saturday, but dinner followed by a night of camping may well be in order here. I'll let you know as the day grows nearer.
Kicking around the idea of doing a long dayhike before dinner.”

Friday Dinner Indy or Bloomington?

Which frigging thread should we be using???

This one seems like it proper one. LOL!”

“i forgot, i don't think they do reservations. First one there, scare off the college kiddos. :)”

“or recruit them!!!”

“IJ, they do not take then for Friday or Saturday.

If anyone who is planning on attending, and can get here a bit earlier that 7-7:30, that may help out in case it is busy. Neither the men nor the women's basketball teams play at home this weekend so the place won't be mobed with people wanting to watch the game.

Put the table under the name of Beanblossom (unless someone has a better name) and just combine the yes's and no's.

If coming in off of 37
Take 37 to 45/46 east towards IU campus. Turn right on E 10th St. and drive a few blocks. Brewery is on this road, keep your eyes open.”

“anyone who is planning on going, please tell me or wk, so that we can get you a seat. otherwise, you may be s.o.l.”

“Wounded Knee, he's a bad muthuh......shutchyore mouf!!”

“I'm going where ever WK drives me.”

“I'm in.”

“I might be in....”

“ok, so who all is in for a day hike on friday?...my wife and i are both off that day and, depending on the weather, we'd like to get the munchkin out for a day hike and then grab some dinner with yall

WK, lenny's isn't an over 21 only spot is it?”

“I'm in for an afternoon dayhike can we say 2-2:30 or is that too late?”

“any time's good for me...although we'll be tentative until about a day or two before...our son's on 6 months and i don't want to drag him out if the weather's bad”

“Cool, let's touch base closer to the event! I'd say start a dayhike trip but we've already got so many threads for the weekend that it is getting hard to keep up :-)”

“Hey Thrifty,

Lennie's is both over and under 21. Obviously the bar is 21 and older, the restraunt part is kid friendly”

“mike and I are up for a dayhike first!!! :)”

“order the baked brie... awesome, or it was with i lived in bloomington.”

“You and cheese”

“for some reason baked brie just doesn't go with a brewery”

“Actually, it goes great with a nice hoppie ale.”

“What time are we talking here? I get off at 8:00 on Friday, but have to be back to work at 7:00am on Saturday, so I can't do the hike but I would definately like to do dinner. I'm training a new chick otherwise I would just call in sick on Sat.
I won't be able to get there till at least 8:00. This doesn't sound too late from the rest of the posts though...
If anyone needs a ride I could do that too. I am leaving from the airport, but if anyone is on the south or west side I wouldn't mind giving a ride.”

“Thanks meanie...

I may take you up on your offer for a ride.
I'm not sure what my situation will be at that time. I may drive myself friday morning. Hike all day. Do Lenneys, then camp before heading back to Indy Saturday.

-or-
I might catch a ride with Hutch Friday
afternoon, do Lenneys, then ride back
with you. I am on the West side, eh.”

“Either way would be fine. How far are you from the airport?”

“I just noticed this says 7:30. I won't be able to get there till 9:00. Does anyone think they will still be there?
I would love to come but am not making the drive if you will all be heading out as soon as I get there.”

“I could not gaurantee we will all be there at that time. We may be, just don't know.”

“Damit. You all need to drink heavier. LOL!”

“hell, more then one beer and I wont be able to hike in a strait line!”

“I thought you were one of the chicago power drinkers?! WTF?!”
