Official June 2004 Reno Meet - Page 9

Okay guys, we're coming down to the wire here. I need your cooperation. I hope you are all checking this thread.

I have been speaking with the hotel folks and I have some info and some requests:

1. the City of Reno has an open-container law. As long as we are in the back parking lot and behave ourselves, they will most likely look the other way and leave us alone. That means we can't get rowdy in the parking lot!

2. Dinner Saturday night. I have reserved a private room at the hotel. I absolutely have to have input on this and a headcount by May 10th, or the dinner will not happen. I am posting the 2 menus we can choose from. The first is a per-plate menu. We all need to agree on one item, I would suggest selecting from the meat items, not the chicken or seafood. If there is anyone with special dietary needs, that can be accomodated. The second is a buffet choice. Problem with the buffet is that we have to pay for 50 people even if 50 people do not attend. That makes it a bit pricey (seeing's how we probably have less than 30 confirmed right now).

3. I have sent a PM to everyone on the attendee list posted above. If you have responded, thank you. If you have not, you need to. If I have not received a PM back from you by this weekend, I will try again by the email address you have set up in your profile. Some of you I may try to catch by Yahoo or AIM Messenger.

I think that's all I have to pass along for now. I hope everyone is getting excited about this. It's seven weeks from this Friday!! (but who's counting?

)

Not too sure what everyone's ideas (or budgets) are : ) but there are a few good places I know of. Benihana's is a cook-at your-table chinese restaurant (pricey), or maybe the Brew Brothers Brewery at the El Dorado might make a good place. Good beer and food. They also make (root)beer for our younger friends : ) Well, there's my input.

I think a reconfirmation is in order here. Not trying to start a new list, just helping to make sure all of us are going to be there that are all ready on the list. Hope you don't mind Michelle if I help out a little.

Agreed. The Peppermill has a great buffet, but I don't think we could fit everyone in there unless we go when they first open. On Saturday nights, there's a good hour or so wait by 6:00 (and that's for a table for 4).

Atlantis has the best Sunday brunch in town.

I keep pushing for this, but no one seems to care (or reply for that matter)

LarryIII · #**133** 04-29-2004, 05:57 AM

Will someone (Michelle) please post info about the Reno SVX Meet on the Yahoo SVX site. There is a fellow SVXer over there (Mr.2) who lives in Reno and seems interested. Thanks.

Well I care!

I'm up for a caravan from Sacramento. Some people don't read the boards very oftern so it may take a while for people to respond. Do we want to start a seperate thread for this?
