There are times I wish I wasn't a child, and this is one of them. I'd love to come with, but probably couldn't go. Do you have any idea of what type of place you'd be meeting at? I could help with that, at least.

How old are you then?

And I think the final destination would be settled nearer the date, after anyone interested chimes in.

I'm 15. I think I'd be cramping everybody's style by being there. And it's not like I can drive, anyway.

You know, if it weren't for the prohibition on underagers being in bars, assuming it's a bar we go to at any point, then I wouldn't mind. A hubskier is a hubskier is a hubskier.

Good conversation isn't an amusement park ride. At least I have yet to see a height restriction at a hubski-meetup.

I assume dinner for starters, then drinks after that.

Now that I think about it, I only know burger places for restaurants. I think most of them have built-in bars, though. Here's what I can remember off the top of my head.

The Sportsman's Bar in Waterford Township: Been there lots of times, never had a bad time.

The Vinsetta Garage in Berkley: Good food. A little bit loud.

The Basement Burger Bar in Farmington: Best burger I've ever had, and I've had a lot of burgers. Best atmosphere of all of these. Slow service, though.

I hope some of this helps. Most of these are a little far out from the city proper, but so am I.

Thanks, Waterford. I've heard Vinsetta is very good. Alas, it looks like we are going to Detroit.

Don't lament your youth, however. It will be remedied. So far, old age cannot. That said, if we were close enough to you for dinner, you'd be more than welcome.
