2nd Official Blog Party - good food, good fun!

Hi All,

There is talk floating around the blog that it is time for us Bloggers to once again meet for a bite to eat, some great conversation, and lots of laughs. This will be our second gathering. Please let us know if you would be interested in coming.

Mike wants Italian and it should be his turn to pick because he was at the first gathering. Everybody that went to the first one, get's to choose this location. All of you that show up for this one, will get to choose the next location. Does that sound fair? But we should also try to make everybody happy.

Mike, have you got any other Italian restaurants in mind other than Carrabas? If we go there, I don't think we're going to get Capt John to join us after his last very bad experience a few days ago.

Ok everybody, suggestions please. Good locations and good dates???

Can't wait,
chris

I am requesting either before May 11 or not until the end of May, beginning of June or I can't come. I've got something going on in the middle of the month that will make it impossible for me to come.

How about Friday, May 9? Too soon?

Topper said...

Capt - where is that good Italian restaurant that you mentioned?

Mike said...

Capt john had a bad experience at Carrabas?

Mike said...

If Capt. has a good Italian Rest , I'm game. The 9th is fine for me. Mike

I had bad Carrabas experience too. Olive Garden has fresh parmesan! or we could find something near Dave's rehab and drop in on him!

capt john said...

9th is "too soon" and NG for me and at Olive Garden, which IS good, Friday nights are VERY BUSY !!! I also agree with the END of May and we should think about a not busy week night.

capt john said...

ps: Sorry - La FAMILIA is off Jog Road, in the Forest Hills Shopping Center, where the movie theater's were. The restaurant is right in the corner. It might be a bit small for 8 10 people. If interested, I will go down and get the exact address and ask about the group. It is NOT expensive and GOOD, but Olive might be a better choice, so I don't have to listen to Mike all-night --- DUH!

Topper said...

If some are saying next week is too early, let's remember that the Memorial holiday falls on Monday, May 26. That might be "go away" week for some.

How about Monday, June 2 or Tuesday, June 3? Or if too far away, how about next week, Monday, May 5 or Tuesday, May 6.

Please comment the date of your choice and then we'll take a count.

We can worry about location after we get the date picked.

La FAMILIA or Olive Garden both sound good to me. Never been to La Familia. I'd like to try a new place.

Say the word folks...

chris

Mike said...

I don't like Olive , so you are safe Capt. Let me know when you have decided on a date. Mike

Topper said...

By the way Elaine, I like your new flower. Very pretty! What is it?
threadbreaker,
chris

Topper said...

Ok - it looks like it will be La FAMILIA. I think we have that settled.

Pick a date, pick a date - we need some leadership here. Dave, we need you bad!

We aren't hearing from too many others except Elaine, Mike, Capt and me. Isn't anybody else interested? I think Bob's going to New York....

How dare you leave me out.
A week ago you posted that
me The Nutmegger wants to
attend your next Blog
dinner meeting. Did you
forget me.

P.S. Between you and me
less than 24 hours.

capt john said...

Tomorrow, I will find out ALL concerning La FAMILIA. Tuesday, 3 JUNE, sounds good to me.

Topper said...

Hi Nutmegger. I didn't mean to leave you out. I am so glad that you will be coming. Are there more of you folks that I left out? Even annos are welcome. You can wear a mask and disguise your voices! Marilyn, are you out there?

Now Nutmegger, put that great puzzle brain going and help us come up with a date!

"and now there were 5" ...

Topper said...

WONDERFUL NEWS - we now have a date.

Capt Johns wrote "Tuesday, 3 JUNE, sounds good to me".

Great for me. How about the rest of you?

Mike said...

JUNE 3 ok with me

elaineb said...

I expect to be gone upnorth before memorial day. That's ok I can find you guys by other means, except Capt John who I rarely understand anyhow!
ChrisJ, It's a new gray variety of hibiscus, not sure of name but there was a new one I liked at the Hibiscus Show named Yoda.

The Nutmegger said...

June 3rd is a good date
for me. I also have never
been to LaFamilia and I
love trying new places.
