fuzzy510 Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Any idea what the menu will be? Did not intend, on this occasion, to set the menu ahead of time, but if that's something people would prefer I can certainly be flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 MrP is out, I'm still in, and fwiw I prefer the spontaneity of the group choosing what they're in the mood for when they get there, rather than having a menu chosen in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy510 Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Just tossing this out there: Would May 25 work better or worse for anybody? It occurs to me that the 25th might actually be a better date for me, and if others feel the same way or are indifferent, I'd be for moving this one week later. If the 18th is a better option for everyone else, though, let's just leave things as-is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy510 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 I think, unless anybody has a real issue with it, that it would make more sense to table this for a couple weeks until we can get more people together.

Ericandblueboy Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Unless the restaurant has been given a headcount and spent time and money, I'm not sure where the harm is? In this particular case, the interest is relatively low in the first place so even a few drop-outs make a big difference. I believe whether there ought to be a $20 Tuesday should be judged on a case by case basis. I think we should go ahead with La Caraquena and see how much interest there is.

[Like with DCCK, I'm tired of seeing people commit, only to drop out at the last minute. It's rude to the organizer, to the restaurant, and to the website. After all this talk about Mandalay, we're on the verge of canceling it. Doesn't fly. By all means, people can do this type of planning in the "On A Whim" thread, but I'm sick of seeing failures for separate $20 Tuesday threads. People think that just because a service is free (refer to www.donrockwell.com), it's without value, and they take it for granted.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I do not have access to this site during business hours. Please cancel my space because I am fearful that I will arrive at the restaurant, only to find out that it is no longer being held. If there were anyway to know that dinner is still on for tomorrow, I would be there in a flash. For future reference, is there a way to forward 'same day' contact (phone) for any last minute changes? I have been looking forward to this event since it was first announced. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Johnston Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Sorry, I had every intention on going and my plans changed. I can not count how many of these dinners I have attended, yet alone organized, and I am sure I have cancelled on a couple as well. Sorry I was rude to anyone on this board beacuse that is not how I am. If members should not sign up, for fear of a later cancellation, then perhaps we should not have any more dinners.This would be a shame, because they are my favorite part of the board.

Heather Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 But the "$20 Tuesdays," as first conceived, were meant to be small, casual get-togethers, with no set menu or call to the restaurant. I really wanted to go to this one, but was on a night when I would need child care. $20 for dinner and another $30 for a babysitter doesn't work for me. Other people have erratic work schedules. Xcanuck dropped out because his wife was in labor. Shit happens, especially on weeknights. Let's not take away one of the chances to be social just because this one didn't work out. (Although if it does get called off, a PM to those who are still on the list is a good idea.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
