Do you really need a ride? I am a good driver and I chew with my mouth closed.

 

Herbert, I almost definitely will not be able to make it to a 7pm dinner. If there's a later group, we'll try to make that, but still no guarantees. :-(

 

Fontana Village has a grill and a restaurant. Robbinsville is the nearest town and its 18 miles one way. There is also a grill at Deals Gap, but it closes early.

 

Yes, that's not a joke. I'm flying in, not driving Malibu Stacy (can't take that much time off work). I'd like to go with the early group. MetalMiniMayhem was kind enough to offer up his passenger seat.

 

there's a cut off?!..........gosh darn it, i missed it too

 

We'd be down for Sweetwater BBQ at 7pm. Now, who is actually going to call them up to let them know?

 

i can give you a ride on the Dragon,
but i'm warning you in advance......i'm kind of a timid driver & not much fun on the Dragon :impatient

 

Sincerity or sarcasm? Can I get a ruling?

 

sarcasm from someone from New York...........never

 

I'm confused. I would like to join you all for a Saturday night dinner since I decided to skip the farewell dinner (did signup for welcome dinner though). Are there only plans for Thurs night? Or are there also plans for Sat night?

It would be helpful if someone in charge published the planned schedule - when, where, who, etc...

Thanks,
hogtrader

 

no one's in charge...if you want to make plans for Sat. night dinner, make them. Invite whomever. Pick a time. There, your plans are made.

 

There's someone in charge???

 

Someone may not be in charge but someone does need to check with Sweetwater. Otherwise this thread is just a waste of time and space.

 

LOL!... we never waste our time.. so, did we decide on an earlier time on Saturday eve?.. (last I heard was talking about 8:30pm).. guess I better read back a bit..

 

It sounds like Clo is willing to give them a general heads up.

 

Yes, the chef/owner of Sweetwater is my pal and I will definitely tell him about the impending MINI invasion!

 

I think we all just started brainstorming for dinner Thursday. As soon as plans are definate, I am sure they will be posted here in this thread.

We just haven't gotten around to Saturday. If you have any ideas, let us know!

I just started this thread to see who else didn't have plans since my group is going to one or both of the dinners. I figured I could meet some other Mini people rather than sit alone in my cabin eating crackers.

 

**** I don't mind calling Sweetwater with a head count on Monday for the 7pm group and give them follow up on MINIclo's invasion warning. Anyone that wants to join us after the call is made on Monday can call Sweetwater's themselves.

If there ends up being a later group, they can handle things for their own group. I was going to check the thread after the weekend and see how many people we are up to.

If you guys don't mind....those who would like to go at 7pm Thursday to Sweetwater's, PM me with your headcount.

 

dude, i'm thinking that you will meet many MINI people to hang out with at Fontana and the surrounding resorts
and the only way you will end up eating crackers alone in your cabin, is if that's what you truly want to do

 

I vote sincerity. Koolmini is definitely a shy, reserved kind of guy.







(How's that Kool? You've got my PayPal address so send the cash before you head south. Nice doin' bidness with ya!)

 

as we Jew's say "the check is in the mail"

 

 

Hee hee, nice try, but WAY too late. I think his cover's been blown.

 

must be that Magnaflow exhaust system on the kar......it's way too loud for someone who drives as timid as me

 

If anyone is interested... there IS another thread with extra dinner tickets for sale.
