Would anybody be interested in a localized holiday dinner? I'd like to give new and old members a like a chance to meet. Maybe we'd get a decent Mod day/event turn out if people weren't so shy? I don't want to throw dates around all month so lets say Friday, December 14th @ 8PM? Bring your wives/girlfriends/etc. I think we can get the most people to go if we stick to central Jersey.

Keith and TJ have to go.. So atleast we'll have 3 so far..It can also be a celebratory TJ is back on the road dinner..

I would like to attend, but that is a bad weekend for me.

Maybe an "after-holiday" party in January could have a bigger turn out.

Great idea. I'll be there x 2...

But also agree with Ken......It's a crazy month.
I'd be for that too....

I thought this was going to happen.. Alright well can we all post a date after xmas when we'll be free? I wanna make this work.

After X-Mas is better...the 14th is a company X-Mass Party anyway for me.

Maybe more of a new year event?

I want to come too

I need to meet Ebeauchea :p

Cool.

Haven't seen you in a while.

Make sure you all bring your wives/ boyfriends / husbands / girlfriends / etc. Lookin forward to it..

I passed through Exton today..it's far!!

I commuted from ANNANDALE to Exton for a year so i know how far it is....at 4 am and 6pm it is loads of fun

Sissy boys.

:rolleyes:

Wait til you need to be in Maryland and Connecticut a few times on the same day...etc.

I was passing through Exton on my way to Harrisburg, Reading, Lancaster, etc. I'm a road salesman I'm just saying Exton would be far for him to travel here for a dinner.

Its not just a "diner"...its a social event.



Besides, its not like we've settled on a venue for this shin dig yet.

Obviously, the more centrally located, the better.

Anyone know WHERE this central location IS?



(A good Frapper Project actually...Anyone know how to set that up...?)

Well what did we wanna do? Fancy? Casual? Drinks? Coffee type stuff? I'd think a Rafferty's type place will do. I don't care where it is but I would guess central NJ is the easiest for everyone. Rt.9 or Rt.1 / New Brunswick area. Hell, I'll go out to PA if that makes us all happy.

Lets see, right after X-mas, etc...not fancy, every one will be broke.

Dinner/drinks, casual type atmosphere, etc.

We did it at Bills Tavern in Hamilton, NJ last time, as the foods good, the drinks are not that expensive, its easy to get to from Philly areas, and its right off of a lot of major routes, like Rt 95, 295, 130, 33, etc.

The only thing I didn't like about Bills was it was crowded with OTHER people...and a bit loud to talk easily.

I think we need to know who's coming from where, and just pick someplace vaguely central that has good food and drink, etc.



Assuming last time's Hamilton, NJ location is somewhat central...how far is every one from there? - AND from what direction...

...as in, if most people say they have to go south to get to it, we can move the location to a more northern area, based upon how FAR NORTH everyone says, etc...

...or south, or what ever.



I'm about 20 minutes WEST of it.

Assuming the date works out for me,I'm in for a dinner. Casual, with a bar, is the type of place. Something like Applebees, Houlahans, Chili's, (family type) is fine. Somewhere around New Brunswick / Somerville would be fine and probably equally accessible to most attendees (come to think of it, there is a Lone Star steak house on Route 22 in Bridgewate). Bridgewater Diner on Route 22 has good food, but I'm not sure if they serve alcohol.

Hey maybe i will even come out to this.
That way I can see all you bastards.

I'm in Avon at the shore...but drive to the other side all the time...as long as it's not NORTH....I'm good. I used to live in Hamilton and then Cherry Hill......so I know the way. I also run over to Cinnaminson often, so.............just say when and where!

Ken...I hope you can come!

YIKES

any idea on a date?? I would like to come also. I just need a few days in advance to let work know.

How about January 4th (night of) or January 5th evening?
