Called HM today, Eddie is on vacation this week. I set it up for 7-7:30 for 35 people. We are going to pick out a menu because there are so many of us now and will get back to you. Stacey said that some of us picked Lo Mein, so that will be on the menu. We will probably pick like 4 main dishes and some appetizers. I will give you an update and an address when we get back.

Jeremy recently said we have about 15 people (see post at bottom of previous page). You're saying 35, JustJAY.

I'd hate to have the HM looking for a big crowd and having a much smaller one there.

Ok, I talked to my friend and he's good with it and Carrie said it's all good so you can put us down for 5, 3 adults and 2 kids.

We are going to pick out a menu because there are so many of us now and will get back to you. Stacey said that some of us picked Lo Mein, so that will be on the menu. We will probably pick like 4 main dishes and some appetizers.
Maybe I'm just too tired or stressed about my test tonight, but are you saying that we will be working with a limited menu?

Here is whom I see comming:

3-Jeremy1026
2/3-RHinaHBMCSC
4-JustJAY/MiniNurse
1-Lastrega
1-Paul
2-CR/PW
1-Ssallykat
1-CmdrVimes
1-kdgblu

I count 17 people. Jeremy, you need to keep the list updated buddy.
We are using a limited menu because of the # of people. Their kitchen could not keep up with that many people ordering at the same time.

the original menu that they made for us was AMAZING!!! Nothing on the menu if you know what I mean. ALL exclusive meals created by the head chef. But alas, it was just to darn expensive. It would have been $40-45 a person! BUT it was truly amazingly good food.
I can not promise that the menu they send us tomorrow morning will have what everyone wants, but I can call and make some adjustments. I will try to get the food you all want.
The reason why they are asking for a limited menu is because at 7:30 it is the high time for dinner, and if everyone orders something different, that will clog up the kitchen. This way a couple of chefs can handle alll our food and not have to worry about clogging up the whole kitchen. We are attempting to keep it down to $20 a person (reasonable for going out to dinner!) this will not include the tax or tip. so if this doesn't sound good for you, PLEASE let us know. We are going to tell them 30 people. The restaruant will have tables for us in the back, and they are going to section off parking around the far side of the restaruant for all of us.
I will get back to you all tomorrow when I get the menu. Stay tuned!

Ok, here is the menu @ $25 with tax and tip:

Appetizers:

Crispy Spring Roll
Lettuce wrapped chicken

Entrees:

Honey Seaseme Chicken
Beef w/Green Pepper
Hunan Manor Shrimp
Twice Cooked Pork
Mixed Vegtable w/bean curd

Desserts:

Fresh Oranges and Lychee Nuts


Everyone will be getting every entree and will keep making food until we don't want anymore.

Added bonus, we have our own section for parking. I told them for about 15 MINI's, but they have more room if needed. Let me know NOW if this is good with everyone. HM has to know NOW so than they can prepare.

HM Address

Here is the address of HM:

7901 Deepage Dr.
Columbia MD 21045
410 381-1134

It is off of Snowden River Parkway.

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=7073+Deepage+Dr,+Columbia,+MD+210 45&ie
=UTF8&z=15&ll=39.174755,-76.849065&spn=0.014173,0.043259&om=1

Um... Google Maps cannot find 7901, so use 7073.

Doh!!!

Hey Jeremy, I am sorry, I rsvp'd without checking my schedule first. Unfortunately, I have to work that night and will not be able to make it. So we are going to have to take our names off of the list of those who are going. My wife and I really wanted to help out and support you. Hope the rents see that we are a good group of folks none the less and give you their blessing to join our little club.

All the best and hope to meet you at another event.

That ok HAPA, I'm sure I'll meet ya sooner or later. Its looking like there is going to be a good sized group to show my parents how cool DCMM people are. Sucks that you can't make it, but you might be able to meet my parental units at a later event (once they realize how kickass DCMM is )

Ok, I just got an email that Morgan has a practice in now till 7:30 instead of 6. That means that the earliest we can get there will be around 9. So I'm thinking you should take us off the list. Sorry about that, kids have a tendency to alter your plans no matter how hard you try and keep control of things. If you guys think that you'll still be there we may try and get up there, but we'll probably already have eaten so it wouls be just to hang out with you all.
