It's that time of the year again, where my annual weather conference is in Saratoga Springs, NY and I have Friday evening available for dinner. This is mainly for the "usual suspects" in the Capital Region, but open to anyone who might find themselves in Saratoga Springs next Friday evening.
As usual I will find myself interested and needing to see how the week goes.
I'm interested.

Ditto. May need to stay late at the office that night to finish stuff before I head off to the LA meet, but if I don't have to, I'm always up for a roadgeek gathering. Been what, 2.5 months since the last meet? :-D

*shrug* I just had a meet last weekend.
Dagnabbit, I will be in MA.
Pity you.
Well-played.
A dinner venue has been suggested as being needed due to closure of the previous. Braeburn Tavern (https://www.yelp.com/biz/braeburn-tavern-saratoga-springs) would appear to be a worthy substitute.
Are there still empty lines in sign-up sheet?
^ They never fill up. 😌
My hotel spontaneously changed last night, so I'm a bit further away from downtown than I had been previously, and as with years past I'd prefer to not move my car once I get into town. For this reason, I'd like to suggest El Mexicano (208 S. Broadway).
I'm out. With tomorrow being a likely snowbound day, I won't be as productive and can't build up enough hours to leave early Friday.
I'm likely out as well. I expect my PM meetings tomorrow to be rescheduled to Friday PM.
So who's still available?
Well, I think I am still likely-yes.

I can be available, if this is still on. Looks like just you, me, and kalvado though. Surprised Doug or Mark haven't said anything either way.

Doug is out with a curling finale. I've been entertaining the possibility of coming up though. Later is going to be better for me. I don't see a time here - 7? 7:30?
After conversing with Doug, I'm going to change this from a Friday dinner to a Sunday lunch before I head back north(east). Time TBD (depends on the late morning sessions and what I want to skip) but will probably be noon-ish. Location will most likely be one of the chains near Exit 15.
I may be game if it's for Sunday lunch.

At least how about Hattie's Chicken Shack, instead of a chain?

I will second the recommendation for Hattie's Chicken Shack. It's a local gem and they even threw down against Bobby Flay once.
Sunday is a less convenient day for me, especially on short notice (and DST), but I think it'll work. I'll make a judgement call tomorrow. Noon or 12:30 would be best.
Sunday noon?
We'll see, but I'm likely to pass on that..
I'm good for tomorrow. What time should we all meet at Hattie's Chicken Shack (I'm assuming the one on NY 50, not the full Hattie's Restaurant down on Phila Street)?

Yes, the Hattie's on NY 50. I've been there before and can vouch that it would work well for all. I would say noon at this point for lunch, but still waiting on Adam's confirmation for the specific time (I'm assuming that he has been at sessions and workshops all day).
I'm in agreement with Doug. I'll probably check the thread in the morning before I leave...probably sometime between 8-9 so I can get some photo ops/clinches in while traffic is somewhat light.

Yes, I never broke the laptop out yesterday.
At this point, I'm going to say 12:30 to be safe. There's a session that ends at noon that I'd like to watch.
I'm also not going to linger too long at Hattie's because I promised my wife that I'd be home for dinner.
