Okay, since the people would rather talk about the Chick-fil-a thing and not about a place to eat.. Suggest this topic be closed. We're way off topic here.
I agree and have done so. There was never a consensus about a time and place in any event.
Suggest starting a clean thread with a selected place, time and date in the title - request a stickie and roll. Build it and they will come, talk too much about it and it gets lost in a rambling thread. We have an ad hoc committee that selects the venue - we post it and generally have at least 24 in attendance.
