B-Greek at SBL 2014

[Jonathan Robie]

I would like to have a B-Greek get-together at SBL 2014. This would be a separate event from Jeffrey Gibson's elister get-together. One possibility would be to grab lunch together one day, or perhaps grab dinner together on Monday.

Is anyone else interested?

[MAubrey]

I would be.

[Jonathan Robie]

I would be.

How about Monday for dinner or Tuesday for lunch?

[Stephen Carlson]

I'd be interested. I'm busy on Monday night, but Tuesday is pretty open.
