DonRocks Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I've talked with Sudhir about possible dates for this event, and any of these six evenings work with him. The best way I can think of to decide is, at least initially, is with a poll to choose a plurality-approved date. We can discuss it in this thread as well. One vote per member, but you can choose multiple dates with that one vote - results to be combined with discussion to come up with a binding date. Please only vote if you know you can come - payment will most likely be taken via PayPal although I haven't discussed that with Sudhir yet. As always, 100% of the money will go to the restaurant, with no kickbacks on this end. Guests, it's perfectly fine to become a member for the purposes of attending this dinner. At your service, Rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffC Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I voted for Oct. 7th (Sunday), but I can come to any of them. My wife, who really wants to come, is not available on 9/30 or 10/2. I like Sunday because it precludes the possibility of last-minute work glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oct. 9 seems like a good day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 DanielK wrote me wiith a good question: Can you vote for more than one date? The answer is yes. If several different dates work for you, just click on each one that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goldenticket Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I hadn't replied in the other thread since the original 3 proposed dates didn't work for me. I am interested in attending if one of the October dates works out, and have voted accordingly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame the software - Daniel, I have your other dates noted in your PM, so don't worry about sheer numbers in this poll. Just trying to get an idea here... Sudhir, can you write me with pricing and how many people you can accomodate on any given evening? (Can you guys tell I'm busy? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mame11 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Columbus Day is Monday, the 8th. Yeah, I know I should have googled... I'm out for a few of the dates... Go 9th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudhir Seth Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Sudhir, can you write me with pricing and how many people you can accomodate on any given evening? (Can you guys tell I'm busy? ) Hi Don The restaurant seats 62 and can be increased to 66 quite comfortably. We could do the following menu for $65 (including tips and tax). The menu needs some fine tuning still and I welcome any suggestions. If there is a demand for something which people do not see on the menu and were looking forward to, I will try to work that in. IG NITE DINNER First course Mirchi Pakora Chicken Kali Mirch kabab Lamb Parsi cutlet Chili Onion Kulcha Second course Shrimp Balchao Mussel Vendiam Meen Kozhambu Aloo Chokha Rice and bread Third course Mirchi Gosht Pork Vindaloo Green Chili Chicken Mirchi Ka Salan Tamatar Launji Rice and bread Dessert Spicy Modak (Steamed rice dumpling stuffed with kali mirchi, khoya & jaggery) Chutneys Green Chili Garlic & Red Chili Onion Coconut Pickles Mango Jalapeno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Johnston Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I can not tell, are ALL of these dishes very spicy or are some plain, some spicy and some very spicy? While I love spicy food, I hope we can have a mixture with this many courses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I love spicy food, I hope we can have a mixture with this many courses. All the dishes are spicy but accompanied with rice, bread and raita to cool off the effect. On their own each dish has a pronounced spice content since that is what the Event is about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonRocks Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 Same for Sundays when most of us are not comfortably working?? This is the first time I've thought about it - I guess maybe 6:30 if it's Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sudhir Seth Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 This is the first time I've thought about it - I guess maybe 6:30 if it's Sunday? We could start even earlier on a Sunday if that is what everybody wants so that people will not have trouble getting to work on Monday. I can be pretty flexible on the timing for Sunday. The only thing I would like to do in a hurry is to post up a notice and blocking that date for reservations. If we can fill up the house to fifty people I could even close the restaurant for anybody else and make it into a totally private DR affair. We have a large number of Sunday regulars and I would like them to know in advance of what is happening and some of them might become future DR members.

Okay, well I guess I have to make a call, so Sunday, October 7th it is. (Daniel, here's hoping for rain so you can join). Let's say 6:30 for now, with the possibility of making it 6:00 if enough people want to do that. So now, I need to know who's coming. Please send me a PM and let me know, and I"ll maintain a list. My guess is that each person can bring two guests, perhaps even more, but please ask me first. I'll need to collect cash through PayPal, and I need to figure out how I don't get hit with the fees like I did with the Elio Martinez fundraiser. Don't send the PayPal payment just yet, but look for the notice to come out later this week. If you need to cancel, please do it a week in advance so Sudhir has plenty of time to plan. I've never done this before, so if there's anything else I need to do, let me know. (HillValley? Help!) Please let me know ASAP (meaning, today, if possible, and I'll keep a running list of the attendees, and will send out PayPal notices shortly). Cheers, Rocks.
