I've decided on Sunday, August 3rd at 7:00 p.m. Hopefully this will allow some of those going to the breakfast on the 2nd to attend. :)

I've chosen Red Rocks cafe in Centreville. I hope this is convenient for you all. It has easy access from both 28 and 29. Red Rocks is popular with the locals, and they do well with groups.

RSVP (send me a PM) if you can make it, so I can make a reservation.

Well, thanks to my inability to sleep on an airplane, I wasn't able to make it out on Saturday.

Thanks to an entirely too long power outage, I wasn't able to get on the forum Sunday.

At any rate, bump.

Dominion Power needs to get off their asses and maintain their damn lines which INCLUDES keeping trees away.

This is the second outage in less than a month. Luckly we had a generator this time.

Another bump. Also going to change my RSVP to "I'll be there" :)

I'm probably off, but I count about 10 who replied in this post with an RSVP (I assume you'd only RSVP if you're coming...)

You should send them a photocopy compilation of all the receipts, with any personal/credit card info redacted, of course. I imagine the total bill came to a tidy sum...

The best thing about two places soooo close together like that.. is that they all know each other.... like maybe some of the guys from red rocks eat at Glory Days, etc.. (I once knew two managers that worked next door from each other at a Pizza Hut.. and a McDonalds.. looooonng story...lol.. ask me some day) Anyway.. the word will get back to Red Rocks from Glory days that I spoke the truth.

That word of mouth traffic will be better than any post card or copy of receipts.

After we left Glory days.. I headed back to my car (still parked in front of Red Rock) and I laughed at the empty restaurant.
