    Total cost is 20 bucks. Dinner and non-aocoholic drinks included.

    You can run a bar tab if you like, or just drink water or tea--some do either.

    I sure hope you can make it. Just let me know.

    Much obliged, Mr Jim- very reasonable, indeed. If I can avoid the monthly Reality Cheque, we just might be a go. I'll be sure to let you know ASAP, whatever the case.

    Aye,

    Will you be searing them in a pan or on the grill?

    When given a choice, most people will choose.

    We sear 'em in a hot skillet before grilling 'em.

    beowulf67, turp said it all. We're not at all picky and no one is turned away--at least not based on level of dress. The main thing is to show up early and stay late.

    We'll start meeting around 4:00 or 5:00 depending on what you want to do, and eat at 6:00. We should be wrapping up the formal part by 8:00, and then we'll do whatever: stand around and drink, reive local cattle, tell big lies, etc.

    Unhappy Outskie...

    Well, I'm afraid Reality (in this case also known as CARma) caught up with me after all, right before it body slammed me with a hefty auto mechanic bill. What's even sadder is that I really should've seen that coming... DOH!

    At any rate... let me pass along my regrets to all the good lads in Atlanta and vicinity, and endeavor to try again next year. I hope the evening is brilliant and full of good cheer and do look forward to seeing lots of piccies here on the board.


    Aye,

    Great. I have you listed for two. We are currently at about 32 (not counting a few children who are planning to eat in the other room and order off the menu).

    This should be a fine evening, and I encourage you all to arrive very early so we have plenty of time to talk and reive cattle. (I hear there's some pretty good Campbell beef close by. We'll split the beef up after the dinner.)

    If you need any help with a motel, contact me. I recommend either the Jameson or the LaQuinta; both are within a few blocks, and if you need to, yoiu can either crawl or take a cheap cab ride back.

    Searing Cancelled

    You'll be happy to know that we will not be searing any heads Saturday night.

    Unless the Campbells get too feisty about the cattle reiving!
