Neal, I think the best thing is to return to your location and let everyone make their own way to dinner. The logistics get nasty otherwise!


OK, new question: Jump in with a reply about dinner, just note the number of people in your party. I don't see any reason to be restrictive.

Matt, yes for dinner, 2 ppl.

Steve and I planed on taking our car to Earls from Neal's store after the tour. That's 2 people for dinner.

Count me in

FYI for anyone who is as dumb as me :redface: March 30th is Sunday not Sat. :redface: Thanks Dan (Boomboy) for clueing me in! No worries Matt we're still in.

Jason (Edmonton Eskimo) has informed me that he is working this weekend, and can't participate in our little reef crawl. :( Don't you feel a cough coming on, Jason? <hack> <sniff>. Can't work when you're feeling like that, can you? :razz:

Jason was both a participant and a host, so we've lost a stop, so we'll miss him doubly.

I'm down for dinner as well.

I'm in for dinner too! Can you put me down for 2. (Maybe I can convince Lori to come for dinner with a bunch of fish geeks.)

LOL... good luck with that Lando. :lol::lol:

I know its a long shot.

Maybe if someone brings a puppy along.. :mrgreen:

Im in for dinner, put me down for 2 please :biggrin:

Such a great idea
 

im in :biggrin: i remember i was at the reptile show last year and i said "its to bad we couldn't do this with aquariums"..........but we can we just have to find such nice people to let us into their homes and move from tank to tank cause u cant move them lol! i feel great i cant wait to see everything and get ideas for my next tank! PS My blueface and queen angel are in the tour at Laurie's!!!. They look sooooo good in that tank

HA.....right thread.....ok im going to bed:lol:

Matt,
if there is time and people want, I wouldn't mind opening up my house to tour as well.
I finally just got my 180 up and running and wouldn't mind people's opinions.
LMK what you think
Neal

Sounds good to me :biggrin:

Open seat
 

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry:

I just found out that I have to head out of town with work, so there should be a seat for someone on the wait list. This sucks! I hope everyone has a great time. Can someone forward me some pics of the tour?

Shane

You can count me in for dinner.. Just me though, my better half won't be able to make it.

I wish I had my tank up an running, my wife said she wouldn't have minded having everyone over, maybe next time.

dinner
 

dinner sounds good too. So do i just show up at the new store around one or 2 or is there new plans:question: let me know if anything changes:biggrin: i cant wait!!!

Dinner snafu
 

I've been waiting to make a dinner reservation until I had a better sense of the numbers. I then learned that Earl's doesn't take reservations at all. So, do we just show up, or do we replan location/strategy?

dont take reservations? thats weird
 

we dont need dinner but do u think they would be that busy on sunday evening anyways. i've never been to earls but heard its really good

1:30 pm at Neals. Make sure Matt knows about you wanting to go and that there is room. Since some people have backed out I believe there is room, but it's best to have Matt confirm it.

Going to a restaurant with a large party without a reservation can only lead to disaster IMO.

I agree. May I suggest Chili's? The prices and food is simular to Earls and I know you can make reservations. There is one close to 97st on 137ave in the parking lot of Northtown/gate (never remember which) mall. It's usually not to busy at that Chilli's, so we should be able to make reservations no problem. What does everyone think?

I say sure to chilli's too.

I agree.
we need to find somewhere that takes reservations.
Chili's gets my vote.
Neal

well bad news , i am sick due to the girlfriend being sick i got it too. i will not be able to make it anymore:frown: i hope everyone has a great time though.

dinner
 

chili's sounds good, but im up for anywhere as long as i get to see some nice tanks that are not if a fish shop that ive seen a million times:biggrin: love new ideas

i pm'd matt and he says im good. cant wait to see the angels i miss them already:lol:
ps neals? his new store or house. i only know where his new store is.

Cool, it's at his new store. 6104 davies rd.

c ya there, maybe after u can come get the chromis after.

Hi Matt

I'm in for 1 for dinner too it doesn't matter where just let me know in advance.

Thx Joel

That's OK with me. Go ahead and make those reservations, Shelley!

chilis sounds good!

man i'm soo stoked.

Ummmm, Matt.....
 

Hi Matt, did you want me to make the reservations.... or did you mean Laurie?

I make many mistakes! I think I meant Laurie!

It's all good, I've mixed up names before too! I'll call Chili's and make the reservations, I believe they open at 11am. Matt do you know for how many? I'm not sure everyone on the tour is going out for dinner, and I know others were going to meet us for dinner. Should I just say for 20-24 people? lmk

Whew!

And thanks, Laurie!

:)

It never got really tight with responses, so I was going for 20 or so.

Matt
