Thanks for your work pursuing this Paul. I know they didn't make it easy for you! I've rsvp'd via the email address...

 

Sounds good - I'm in too... word to the wise though, Mango Mike's can get very busy and the parking lot fills up quick... but at 4pm on Sunday I doubt it will be a big problem.

 

There's a shopping center across the street too.

 

I'll be there!

 

how 'bout an address for those of us who don't live in virginia??

 

Anywhere we can all park together nearby?

 

Here's the website: Mango Mike's Carribean Restaurant

And from the site, the address:

Mango Mike's
4580 Duke Street
Alexandria, VA 22304

(703)370-3800

It's not very far inside Virginia from MD... remember, Alexandria borders the Potomac.

 

Paul, I rsvp'd via the e mail address

Paul is going to update this post later with complete information, but here is a link to their web site for directions, phone number etc.

That sounds good. I'm in (pending Sig-O approval).
**UPDATE** Approval has been granted, Dave and Julie will be there in our '05 Cooper Cabrio!

 

we'll be there

 

I'll be there as well.

 

Can't promise I'll be there, but I'll RSVP by Sat. night to let you know. I'll be spending all day Saturday at the Washington Auto Show, so getting anything productive done may not happen that day. This will lead to squeezing a weekend's worth of errands into Sunday. We'll see how it goes.

 

Retyping the first post now.

Sorry about the 'quick 'n dirty' post above, but I'm really not supposed to be messing with the internet for unofficial buisness at work! After the top post is retyped, if there's any questions, please ask!

Edit: Done! See above for full event details!

-Paul!

 

Mango Mike's actually has a big honkin' parking lot on site! There shouldn't be any problem finding a corner for all of us! According to the manager I talked to, it shouldn't be busy during the time when we'll all show up.

-Paul!

 

Mmmmmaaaaaannnngooooooo....

Count us in.

Darn the luck. 1/29/06 is Chinese New Year. No Mangolia for me (I'm Chinese).

I'm in it for one. Look forward to seeing everyone.

 

I'll stop by with the yellow MINI...

 

We're in!!

 

I am kinda RSVP'ing. Depends on how longs things run in the AM.
James will not be attending either way.

 

edit that entry. My daughter said that she would like to come along and see everyone.

 

So are you giving out orange envelopes or red? I've lost track - what year will it be?

 

Back when I did the Chinese New Year thing it was always red envelopes with gold printing. 2006 appears to be the year of the Fire Dog (not just any dog, but a dog on fire).

 

You code jockeys - so you need emoticons in order to know when somethings funny?

Orange Leader -orange envelopes - weak attempt at humor on my part.

Uhmm roast dog or would that be hot dog?
