HA! Lucked out! I was there repeatedly when I was in the market for one and they didn't stock them - would only order them. Good for them...and you!

I just called for reservations but they don't take them. The lady I spoke to said she would try to keep a table open though. I estimated about ten people when she asked how many.

If it's extremely busy, we'll have to deal with it or make a plan B.

To be perfectly honest I have kicked this around in my head over the last month or so. I really don't think we have any need to ask permission to meet up and chat over lunch just BC we happen to OC at the same time.

I think the organizer of the event only needs to introduce himself to the manager and let them know that if they have any problems with his group they can feel free to bring it to his attention.

Asking permission can be a double edged sword in that they may say NO out of hand BC they have no understanding of what we are doing. And they just hear the word Gun.

On the other hand if we were going to want to put up a banner and a booth of course we should ask permission as that is a whole different thing!

We had great attendance at this event! Thanks to everyone who came. There were 18 people overall that showed up.

It was very nice to meet the first timers and people I haven't met before.

Good time and great turn-out, indeed. Nap time! lol I just hope the newcomers didn't feel alienated at their own table. Great that they showed up tho, always good to meet more of us. Thanks EM87 for getting it together and all who showed.
