We'll be going on Saturday evening, since we have nowhere else to go. That is, if we can even get away as planned. Our cabana boy Geoff has somewhere to go this weekend, and we do SO hate to leave the pool unattended for the weekend.

So what are the plans for Friday What time would you guys like to meet up

Ok, I'm packed and ready!!! I am suppose to arrive in Philly at 5:00 p.m. I am guessing, if flight's on time, that I'll arrive at the hotel around 6:30 - 7:00.

If it turns out that the flight is way off schedule and I won't arrive til much later, I'll call. So, if that's the case, please don't feel obligated to wait for me to go to dinner. Hopefully though, I will be pretty much on time.

See ya all tomorrow!!!

TIS - I'm really looking forward to meeting you in person. Don't forget to pack your meatball recipe!

Yes SB, I was looking forward to meeting you in person also, but unfortunately I'll be at Shula's on friday therefore making it impossible to meet you in person!


Don Cardi

Alas, I will be there on Saturday. What a shame!! I SO wanted to get to know you and your lovely family over a nice steak and a slice of cheesecake, frozen cheesecake of course.

I will be brave and ask this.....do we know where we are eating each of the nights? lol

Saturday is Italian I think...

I don't know where we're going tomorrow night... But I'm about to leave for Shula's now, so I'll meet you in the lounge in 10 minutes! :p

and friday???? what about breakfast/lunch?

I'm assuming cheesesteak lunch on Saturday, hotel breakfasts Saturday/Sunday... Shula's tonight... that about covers everything except Friday dinner!

is it really Shulas on Friday? I'm confused

...and you're not the only one!



Signor V.

Ok, I'll be serious now because DMC's brain's gone sour from all that comedy he's been playing with that young girl.

Friday night is open for dinner because we realized that people will be staggering into Philly at different times.

Now Staurday, SB will be coming down and is supposed to arrive at 11:00 AM. The plan was for us all to go to Pat's for a cheesesteak lunch and onto the Italian Market which is, I believe, connected to Pat's.

Then for dinner, Mama Mig made a reservation at La Veranda at Penn's Landing for 7:30PM.

Now where Shula's comes in? Well if you all remember there was a big debate between going to Shula's or La Veranda and La Veranda won. So Now I tease SB about going to Shula's because she really wanted to go there for dinner on Saturday night. So being that she is coming on Saturday, I have been teasing her that we are going to Shula's on Friday. But really nothing has been decided about Friday night's dinner because as I said, many of us will be staggering in at different times on friday.

The Shula's thing is a joke.


Don Cardi

I've been confused since we started planning this shindig

Well It's official me and Becky finally made up our minds. I'm sorry but we are coming. :p

DC-

You forgot about going to the Moshulu before dinner.
Also are we still going to the Mint Friday?

You've been confused? You are the one who started and planned this whole shindig!

And I'm sorry to hear that you and Becky made up your minds. :p

Glad that you guys are coming.


Don Cardi

I guess my joke didn't translate well... I was pretending we were going there TONIGHT (Thursday) as a dig at SB AND DC :p

Yay Miggy!!!!

...but I must say, when I read "I'm sorry but..." I was getting sad until the punchline!

Great news. See y'all at Burger King Friday evening.

Signor V.

Can it be Taco Bell instead?

Those who are coming on Friday what time do you plan on getting there?

My date and I should be there around 3:30-4ish

I'm hoping to be there around 2-2:30ish. Me and Bec are coming in seperate cars this year.

Yeah and your date doesn't go dutch

But Geoff tells me that you go french!


Don Cardi

DC,

Do ya still want to go to the mint?

With a name like Signor Vitelli, a man who ran and owned probably one of the classiest Italian Cafes in the hills of Sicily, you choose Burger King as a place to eat? :p

Don Cardi

Heck, my bus is scheduled to get me there around 12:30, so I guess that leaves me the lucky one to sit at the bar and guess who's coming next. Is 12:30 to early to start drinking then? What the hell, it's 5:00 somewhere.

I think that it's right near Shula's. Yeah, why not!


Yes I do. I'm probably going to go straight to the hotel when I get to Philly, see if I can check in, and then work my way over to the mint. Call me when you get there.


Don Cardi

Well if you go to the Mint PLEASE wait for me K

What do you want me to call you when I get there?

I'll wait. But remember that it closes at 5:00PM.

What do I want you to call me when you get there? Well let's see, you can call me Sonny or anything that you want, but just don't call me late for the Mint!

Beth, are you interested in going to the Mint?
