Since the org thread got off on a tangent and I think we need a FINAL decision


Is the dinner at Knotts?
Are we meeting at the park at a certain time or everyone when they can?
What time are we getting in line at the resturant?

Just thought I would ask.

 

Tom,
I guess you didn't read my post entitled - Dec. 6 Meeting Minutes :nono:

Here is what I posted:
I'll check with Lon and see what he found out.

 

Bret
I did read your Dec 6 post and your last line in this post is why I asked the questions.

 

I've talked with Lon and he is the vicinity of Knott's as I type this. He is looking into reserving a room for 16 to 20 people for 6:00pm Saturday.

 

No advance group reservations available. All December Saturdays have been booked in advance since August. They can still accomodate us though. Plan to be at the restaurant ready to be seated at 6:00 PM. Allow roughly 10-15 minutes to park and walk back to the restaurant. I'm planning to arrive earlier and bring a toy for the Toys for Tots fund drive for free admission to the park. I'll keep checking the length of the line beginning around 5:00 PM and will get in line then. They indicated that the wait should be roughly 45-1 hr. If you're arriving early to do the park, then park your car in the long-term amusement parking. If you're just going to the "Holiday Dinner", then park in the short-term (first 3 hr. free) parking on the left side of the road as you enter the park from Beach Blvd from the North. If you want to hook up as a group earlier in the day in the amusement park or have any questions call me on my cell phone (626)695-0361. If you haven't already please post and confirm that you are attending.

Thanks, Lon

Looks like you better make that reservation for 25 or more, Lon.

Sorry if I put your screen name instead of your name, I dont remember everyone yet.

 

Looks like I can make it for a change. Hey does this count as a meeting?

 

You'll have to sit on Santa's lap in the amusement park and get your picture taken for it to count as a meeting.

Lon

 

Ho Ho HoooooOOOOooooooOOOOoooooo!!!

 

The wife is going so make it Tom + 1

Chris will be there too.

 

I can't make it sorry

I was looking forward to it too. Been away from 3rd gen f-buds for a long time.

 

you have to go MAN, people dont know me I go anyways I dont giva DAMN:rockon:

 

I'll be there since Mike doesn't want to race me this weekend....

 

James is right… Pahrump is a long way to go just to let him chase me around the track. Besides I couldn’t let all of my fellow enthusiasts down by not supplying the “entertainment” for dinner tonight

 

Just remember Mike, it's a family restaurant. Entertain accordingly.

 

Oops. I got there too late! I left work late and got stuck in traffic and got lost and got to Knotts at a quarter to 7. I didn't see anybody I knew inside or outside the restaurant, so I left. (Luckily I had another thing to go to that started at 7 and had dinner there.)

 

We're sorry you missed us

Here's what you missed.



As far as ETs on finishing up the chicken, well, I'd like to think I was a contender.

 

Thank you to everyone who attended. Those that didnt missed out. Julie, sorry you were late. We had to go in right at 6pm to keep our reservation. Next time make sure you get someone's cell phone number.

We had 15 people show up, and food and fun was had by all.

 

Ya got'a love Knott's chicken dinner to warm the the soul and great company to make it complete.
Great way to finish off the year
Sorry for those that didn't make it (got'a love those biscuits)

 

There were a couple new faces to me as well as some weak-@ss-unsupported-dreamer-smack talking going on on my end of the table. Parking was awefule but overall it was a good evening. I can't wait for the couple next to me to spend all that money just to lose on the strip. That race and when Vince ever breaks Mike's time will be the only reason to take the Blue Bunny out of retirement.

 

I was dissapointed that we had roughly 10 "no-shows". I'm glad we didn't wait any longer though. I tried. I stayed outside until nearly 6:10, but we had to head in for dinner or lose our reservation for the table. To those that missed the dinner, sorry you couldn't make it or call me for whatever reason. You just increased the odds for those that did show up to win the two TDS prizes I raffled off. Kevin L. won a 105021 TDS Steering Brace. Jon Van Buren won a $20 TDS gift certificate. Dinner was great as usual. I think only Bret and I took advantage of the Toys for Tots entry into the park. It was nice to see everyone that attended.

Thanks, Lon

 

Nope, we went in too.
Just a few people there.
Arrived at the park at noon, rode the calico mine train, and Jaguar and barely made it to the resturant by 6pm.

 

lol
I did the Wild West Stunt Show and nearly 2 hrs in line for Ghost Rider before I got in line for the restaurant at 5:10 PM. After dinner Bret & I did Jaguar, Log Ride & Calico Mine Train.
