Did you follow the link? Coffee Bean & Tea Leafs in L.A. are kosher -- they will NOT appreciate that particular move.
Then again, very few restaurants appreciate or allow outside food being brought in. But don't worry, they have lots of other stuff on their menu.

Double-checking -- it's over an hour for me to get there, assuming little traffic (not really a given by any stretch). Someone's gonna be there, right? A couple of someones at least? Maybe a few or several or many? And how long will people be staying? I was kinda hoping for a couple hours or so of chatting. I like you people.

I'll be staying as long as there will be people there.... unless something comes up before then which would cut it short, but I am definitely there.
I'll be in black pants, shirt, tie, socks, and shoes (with a red bit on the shoes...). Probably listening to headphones, reading 'American Gods' by Neil Gaiman, or both... And probably there a bit early. =)

Says me. No way can I do sixish on a Monday! *hysterical laughter at the very thought*
I'll be there noon or a bit before (depend on traffic, how many times (and how badly) I get lost, and finding parking). I can stay until about 2. I will be wearing -- um, one sec --
*goes to pick out clothes*
-- a long black skirt and a multicolored blouse (dominant colors: purple, green, brown, yellow).
See ya tomorrow, Damien, Pop!
fallow, does this mean you won't be able to join us?

from UCLA, you can take the blueline to the redline, yes? That's RIGHT THERE, at the 7th metro, i believe...

From UCLA to downtown, and back, at lunchtime? And you think you'll get there by noon and back by one? Um . . .

The food is quite good, and I'm sure the company will be better. I'd recommend taking the Metro, though, and not trying to drive -- at least with the schedule you're talking about.

Wow, Damien is a good lookin' guy. I'm happily married and I'm a heterosexual male, and I still considered asking him out. No, really -- he was pretty quiet, but eventually opened up a bit. We all had a relatively uneventful couple of hours (though yes, I did make a mess with the half & half, as well as spill a bit of coffee on my shirt), and it was a wonderful time. And Superstation was cheerful pretty much the entire time, though got just the tiniest bit fussy as we were getting ready to leave (he was tired -- fell asleep in his carseat before we got out of the parking lot).
Damien & rivka, you remember how I said I needed to use a bathroom? Well, the one rivka mentioned was in the opposite direction of the parking lot, so I figured I'd just try to make it home. I got in the car and was driving home, and about 15 minutes later decided I needed to go worse than I thought. However, I unbuttoned my jeans thinking that maybe the release in pressure would allow me to make it home.
No.
So I'm starting to be in a bit of pain, and realize I must stop -- only I'm now at a place where I don't know any of the exits, and so can't tell where a stop will result in a bathroom available. Another fifteen minutes go by before I know of an exit where I can find a bathroom (and I was wrong about it, but found one anyway). I park in the shade to keep Superstation cool, and get ready to go in to the gas station to the bathroom. And I'm entirely unable to rebutton my jeans. *sigh* I pulled out my shirt and let it hang down over the jeans, keeping my hand close enough to catch the jeans if they start to fall, and gingerly walk in to the restroom.
Anyway, made it safely, no accidents of any sort. I had a wonderful time, and look forward to seeing rivka again (and possibly Damien?) at the knick-mack-Shinda-wack in two weeks. Anyone considering going -- Damien and I might both bring our guitars and have a jam session, so bring your singing voices.
Just checked my email for the first time since 7 this morning, and fallow did send an email saying he wasn't going to be able to join us.
