The Asheville Chapter is planning our January dinner/meeting on Wednesday, January 19th at La Catarina Trattoria. This is open to everyone, not just M2C2 members!

We will meet at 6:00 pm in the parking lot of La Catarina Trattoria's on Elm Street in Asheville just off I-240 at the Merrimon Ave exit. The plans are to eat dinner at 6:30 pm. Entrees range from $12 to $20. Use the links below to check out the restaurant.

If you are interested, please reply to this thread or PM me. I'll need a head count by the 12th or so for reservations.

Wow!

A fine looking menu there! Will it be Manicotti Spinache or the Salsicce del Giorno? The Agnolotti Manzo sounds good, too. Decisions, decisions! This will be a great way to spice up the cold, dark days of January.

I've put this down on my calendar and hope to see a lot of MINI folks there.

-- Lee

 

Yup, put me down for this one also.

 

Kevin

Sounds great. Please put me down for one. I will be in Spartanburg on the 19th and will just go up I26. If any are going from Greenville please let me know and I will meet in Greenville for a group drive.

Thanks
George

 

Kevin,

I will try to make this but middle of the work week is kinda tough for those of us in the Hickory area. Monday the 17th is a holiday (MLK Day) for a lot of folks. Would you consider making it then or over the following weekend? Just a thought. I know it's hard trying to find a "perfect" time for such an event. Thanks for getting it together.

Eric

 

made my mark in the computer.

I will try to make it there.
If i am able to go there on that day, I will be leaving early in Atlanta and enjoy a full day snowboarding fun at Maggie Valley(45 minutes from Ashville).
Anyone up for a ski trip or snow meet up there?

I just got back from there yesterday. pretty good place, and a lot of people too!

Great drive on the short mountain roads too! too bad i was driving a 05 Jeep!

 

Hmmmm. I gotta work until 5:30.. Maybe I could get off work early and go.. Put me down as a possible definite maybe...

 

Big crowd today at the Cat, so much so they had to stop folks from coming in!

That has to be a first!

 

Eric,

We try to mix up our meetings so that we have some on weekdays and some on weekends. This one is pretty much set, but we'll keep this in mind for all the Hickory folks who might like to join in. The February meeting will be planned at the January dinner.

Kevin

 

mininc --

Give me a call as you're coming up the mountain and I'll try to be there to meet you at East Flat Rock.

-- Lee

 

Mininc,
Give me a call on Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon and we'll see if we can co-ordinate motoring up together if I can make it.

 

So did anyone do any calling or coordinating? I'm looking forward to this!

-- Lee

 

No calls or co-ordinating yet.. I meant for mininc to call me the Tuesday before or that Wednesday to see if I was going.. Are you confused again, Lee?

 

ED

Call me tomorrow on the cell between 9:00 am and 11:00 am.
You can call me at Hendrick MINI from Century MINI.

Thanks
George

 

Ed --

I'm not so much "confused" as "not paying attention," I guess. Thanks for the clarification and I hope we'll all see you this morning at Century.

-- Lee

 

Lee

Now I am confussed.

I will be at Hendrick MINI this morning, but you can call me from Century MINI.

See you at the Asheville dinner.

George

 

I'll be there!

melindalou

 

Kevin,

Melindalou and I will be traveling up together so count the 2 of us in. We should arrive by 6:15-6:30. Look forward to seeing you guys then!
Eric

 

I've added both of you to the list.

Glad that you're able to make it! See you then...

Kevin

 

We have two more folks joining us... any one else?

Kevin

 

too bad that i am not able to make it to the dinner.
sounds like a nice place over there.
I might drop by sometime later since i always go there for some snowboarding fun!
hope you all have a great dinner

 

Sorry you couldn't make it. We'll catch up with you another time!!

Kevin

 

Donna, I and a friend should be arriving around 6:15 to 6:30

 

So what time are you coming past my exit, Ed? Is George coming from down your way? I've not heard from him in a while.

-- Lee

 

The plan is to head out about 5:00 or at least by 5:15, so, I should be going by the Upward Rd. exit on I-26 between 5:30 and 5:45. I talked to George, and he's planning on cruising straight up I-26 from Spartanburg.. I will have my cell phone on..
It will just be Donna and Me. Our friend had to cancel...
