I'm in for Parsons Saturday.

Saturday Parsons Yes.

RT if you're down with me.

Even if Pex is there, I'd go.  What time were we thinking?  I probably can't go between the hours of 11-2 or so, but after that I'm down to clown for a little bit at least.

We're going to do the boat tour and, I'd guess, lunch with Bill and TJ, so we probably won't be able to get until mid-afternoon.

Went to that Rock Bottom place yesterday, as you suggested.  On a hot day it would have been bliss, but it was actually a little cool up there, especially in the shade.  Food and beer were pretty good, though, and not unreasonably priced.

Wait...somehow I missed this.  Someone suggested you go to Rock Bottom?  You know we have one of those in Denver.  It's not even in Denver.  It's in a fucking suburb of Denver.  Jesus.  What's happened to this board?

There's one in Iowa, too. Way to find some hidden jewels for Tonk to visit, people. Has he ever been to Applebee's?

They also have them in Omaha and Nashville, so maybe Tonk can just tour them all and let us know which locations are best.

I guess you guys missed the episode of House Hunters where TDubbs moved to the suburbs.

Ah, well if Tonk gets homesick then TDubbs can direct him to the nearest Outback Steakhouse I guess.

Look, I've never heard of the dump. I'll go wherever Butthead tells me to go.

If Tonk wants the best Mexican food in Rockford, I've heard the Taco Bell is a crowd favorite.

Tonk is probably just sitting in Duke of Perth saying it's not authentic Scottish.

Either that, or loading up on the all-you-can-eat fish & chips they have a couple nights a week.

I have a 'Murican phone number, now:

312 975 0035

... so that's probably easiest way to get hold of me from now on.  I have Whatsapp and have a data package so I can pick up FB messenger messages, too.  If you'd like to drop me a line with your current cell number, that would be simply super.

I wasn't, but give me about half an hour.

Blame TDubbs for the bad Rock Bottom suggestion. I'll take credit for his good Parsons suggestion though.

So Parsons is not a chain? And we're going there Saturday at 4 p.m. to listen to TDubbs talk? Ok!

Honestly, it was fine.  Geographically speaking, it was pretty much exactly where I needed to be that lunchtime, and they had ridiculously good value kids' meals.  The beer was genuinely pretty good, too.

I'm missing the point, though, aren't I?

You're on vacation, go wherever the hell you want, I won't judge.

I'm in for Parsons Saturday.

Saturday Parsons Yes.

RT if you're down with me.

Even if Pex is there, I'd go.  What time were we thinking?  I probably can't go between the hours of 11-2 or so, but after that I'm down to clown for a little bit at least.

We're going to do the boat tour and, I'd guess, lunch with Bill and TJ, so we probably won't be able to get until mid-afternoon.

Went to that Rock Bottom place yesterday, as you suggested.  On a hot day it would have been bliss, but it was actually a little cool up there, especially in the shade.  Food and beer were pretty good, though, and not unreasonably priced.

Wait...somehow I missed this.  Someone suggested you go to Rock Bottom?  You know we have one of those in Denver.  It's not even in Denver.  It's in a fucking suburb of Denver.  Jesus.  What's happened to this board?

There's one in Iowa, too. Way to find some hidden jewels for Tonk to visit, people. Has he ever been to Applebee's?

They also have them in Omaha and Nashville, so maybe Tonk can just tour them all and let us know which locations are best.

I guess you guys missed the episode of House Hunters where TDubbs moved to the suburbs.

Ah, well if Tonk gets homesick then TDubbs can direct him to the nearest Outback Steakhouse I guess.

Look, I've never heard of the dump. I'll go wherever Butthead tells me to go.

Blame TDubbs for the bad Rock Bottom suggestion. I'll take credit for his good Parsons suggestion though.

I was lost. Somebody told him to go to Rock Bottom and I figured it must be something different than what they have in Indy. Nope. Very mediocre but I used to go there to watch basketball games sometimes.

So Parsons is not a chain? And we're going there Saturday at 4 p.m. to listen to TDubbs talk? Ok!

Honestly, it was fine.  Geographically speaking, it was pretty much exactly where I needed to be that lunchtime, and they had ridiculously good value kids' meals.  The beer was genuinely pretty good, too.

I'm missing the point, though, aren't I?

I dunno, I'm conflicted.  While I enjoy TDubbs getting dogpiled, I also feel everyone being so quick to display their sophistication (ugh...a chain restaurant...how gross and uncool!) to be some rather annoyingly heavy-handed hipsterism. 

You're on vacation, go wherever the hell you want, I won't judge.

Seems like a good opportunity for you to put ketchup on a hot dog.
TIME TO POST!

Fight me.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

I don't even know what this place is anymore.
