Preparation Fail

Let me start of with my profuse apologies to anyone who wasn't able to catch up with us in our last minute brunch revision this morning. It was entirely my fault for assuming that a restaurant known for it's brunch would be open on a holiday known for people wanting... brunch. Totally my bad for not calling and checking first.

Big huge thanks to Dan for quickly hunting down an alternate location on his bicycle and getting us on the long waiting list at The Shack. Despite the sudden change of plans we still had a great time and a great turn out for Zombie Jesus' Birthday.

More rumors circulated regarding a potential upcoming movie night, but nothing set in stone yet. There were also rumors of a possible camping trip being organized. We'll let you know when that's more official.

The big news, however, is that the brunch attendees voted and have officially decided to start meeing on a regular basis that's easier for people to schedule around. So, you can now mark down the first Sunday of every month for your Sunday M.A.S.S. Brunch. The location is still up for discussion. There was a general preference for someplace relatively inexpensive, and Finnegan's was one suggestion. If you have any other suggestions or preferences, leave a comment below.

While standing outside Food For Thought making emergency phone calls and tweats, I was mildly amused at the number of people driving by who would slow down to park, realize Food For Thought was closed, and then speed off shaking their head in disgust and frusteration. There was certainly no shortage of people wanting to spend their money there this morning.

I would find it hard to believe that Food For Thought couldn't find enough employees willing to work on Easter morning, with it being a recession and all. So my only assumption (there I go again) can be that they closed simply because "It's Easter! Doesn't everyone close on Easter?". No, actually, they don't. The Shack was open and doing an awesome business. In fact, they had a 30-45 minute waiting list. I suspect the same was true for just about any other restaurant open this morning. So, Thanks Food For Thought! Thanks for doing your part to stimulate the economy. Thanks for giving your employees a chance to earn a little extra cash to pay their rent. Thanks for, well, nothing.

But a genuine thanks to those M.A.S.S.ers who came out to help celebrate. It was a great time, as usual.
