If it is during the day, we most likely will not make it. If it was in the late afternoon or a dinner, we would be there. In any case, thanks for putting this on..

I need to decide on time and place right away so I can submit the event cache page. I was definitely planning to go caching afterwards. We will come up with a list of caches later. If this event is noonish or 1:00, since it is on a Sunday, that would be during Sunday brunch at some restaurants. That could be a good thing (buffet!), or a bad thing (crowds, not able to get our own room). I will call a few restaurants to see if we could get our own room during a Sunday brunch buffet. I know of a relatively new place in Concord Plaza (S Lindbergh & Baptist Church Road) that might fit the bill. ________________________________ From: geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:geocaching-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tom Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 10:02 AM To: geocaching@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GeoStL] Re: September Meet, Greet & Eat event Thank you Laura for spearheading this event. Do you think it will be a published event on GC.com? I don't know the southwest area that well, so any of the places you mentioned is fine with me. I think a lunchtime meet/greet (noonish, 1:00) would be good, and maybe get some group caching in afterwards. I think I will be able to make it to the event. I'll put it on my calendar. I and yawetag (Andrew) are looking at doing the next Meet/Great/Eat in North County at the beginning of November (maybe the 3rd).

The date that I have chosen is Sunday, September 30th. Yes, I realize that it is the day after the picnic. But I figured some people who can't make it to the picnic might be able to attend this. And those of us who did go to the picnic can tell them all about what a great time they missed, so maybe they will try harder to make it to the next one. Okay, maybe the real reason is that I promised to organize a Meet, Greet & Eat event in September, and time got away from me, and I didn't get around to it until now. Anyway, I wanted to see if anyone had an opinion about which restaurant and what time. I was hoping for a restaurant that has a room (or at least partitioned off area) that we could have, so that we could all be seated together. The places I thought of are: Smugala's Pizza (GREAT pizza! And lots of other stuff too), O'Leary's (at least they used to before the fire, I will check and see if they still do), and Culpepper's in Kirkwood (theirs is downstairs). Please let me know if you have a preference, or if you know of another place in southwest St Louis County that has a separate room we could use. Thanks!!
