Okay, so I'm a fence sitter... I missed a bunch of deadlines BUT now I'm coming Woohoo! :smile:

Anyhow, I can't go to the Welcome Dinner... anybody else in my boat wanna hang out and figure out something to do Thursday night and where to eat?

 

for the Saturday night going away dinner and will have to find something to feed on that night.

Unfortunately we won't roll in to the ToD until Friday afternoon though, so I can't offer much insight into keeping one's self entertained on Thursday.

How about it? Anybody else out there with a spare chunk o' time that want to hang on Saturday or other nights?

surely the powers that be would maybe give you a kitchen pass????? try and ask , they can only say yes or no!!

 

don't you love procrastinating im in the same boat i figured i would just listen to the radios or scrounge something up. from what i understand, last year the food wasn't very good at the welcome dinner. Of course i wasn't there, but thats what i heard.

 

I dropped the ball on the Farewell dinner. Me and my +3 will be fending for ourselves.

 

Can't compare the two. This year's dinner is at a completely different location and is being catered by a completely different person than last years. The food that will be provided has been sampled by many who will at this year's event and its fantastic

 

forage for berries & road kill...

Or, striving to be more civilized we could get a group together to head out to Maryville for some grub and then cruise back in to simply hang out with the folks dining at the Farewell Dinner. If the Farewell Dinner food is bad we could then sit around and complain about how good our dinner was...

The TGIF in Maryville was good last year, stopped for a bite on the way in - so we could try to get a group to head that way. Might have to snoop around on the web and see what options we have out there.

 

Some good eating in Townsend just across the Foothills Parkway to 321. Deadbeat Pete's is SLOW but excellent Mexican and some really good BBQ at Smokin Joes. I do need to double check that Deadbeat's is open.

 

I'm sorry some of you missed the deadlines, but we had to give the final head-count to the caterer of the Welcome Dinner by a definite deadline.

I have a suggestion, though: you could try calling Tapoco Lodge for a dinner reservation. Their dinner hours are 5:30 - 7 PM, with a set menu for each day of the week. Thursday's menu is Pork Roast. BTW, when several of us made dinner reservations there, it was quite good.:smile:

i'll be selling hot dogs in the parking lot for you fence sitters

 

koolmini, you are always talking about that hot dog stand. . . .

I really do think you need to get the stand and set it up at the top of the Dragon!

 

Don't feel bad Stef...we didn't sign up for this one either...mostly because of the anticipated parking conjestion. We can do a wienie roast

 

I didn't sign up and I would like to get together with some fellow procrastinators.

Yo folks
I live in Maryville, 45 minutes from Fontanna. For Thursday night, why not come on over to the house. You get to drive back out of the dragon and through the woods. We can cookout - compare cars.

Let me know. wgeise@aol.com

This is starting to sound like a support group.

 

Actually the food was quite good. We got zero complaints until recently,
from a few folks that just like to have something to complain about.

'nuff said.

 

WOW, mellowyellow! AWESOME offer and first post! Welcome to NAM and see you next week!


Clover

 

Will anyone have a grill? We could do our own farewell dinner

 

mellowyellow: i'll stop by after the weclome dinner (any reason to slay the Dragon)
Clo: don't worry i'll be on the fire burning porch, as well

 

I stayed at Tapoco Lodge during the first MINI Dragon Meet in 2003 under the American Plan, which included all meals.

They were tasty and the nicest thing: the sweet ladies in the kitchen would prepare lunch to go for enjoying a little picnic off the great area roads! Again, go to the link I posted above and check out their menus.


Clover

 

Yes you will be, kool, since Smokin' the Dragon Cigar Sampling Salon is an MKO-sponsored event, and YOU ARE MKO, Mr. Hotdog Stand!
