anyone interested in moving the meeting to somewhere less noisy, with more comfortable seating, with better food and servers that maybe dont look as nice but actually have a clue? There's plenty of good restaurants around the area.
I'm just remembering how horrible our experience was there last time (pathetic service, food was awful) and the place is deafening..not a great place to have a conversation.

i acctully like hooter's food

me, too, when it's good. But the last time I ate there it was awful. I see that happen at alots of restaurants. They get themselves established and popular, then they lower the quality of the food. Maybe was just a fluke, but the previous time I ate there both wildweasel and I got violently ill from the oysters.

you mean we were going for the food

Well, Hooters certainly has *other things* to recommend it, but strangely enough a couple of the women who want to attend don't see the attraction. They don't object, it's just not a reason to go there like it is for us drooling male yahoos.

I just want wings and zuk talk doesn't matter where

I agree. I'll eat wings any day. One other prob with Hooters is that it is do damn LOUD in there (all hard surfaces and high ceilings) that you can't hear the conversation unless the person is shouting, which of course makes it even louder.
I know some great places for wings and beer, but they tend to be a little off the beaten path and I think wherever we go should be relatively simple for people from out of town to find.
There's a whole range of good places like the 99 steakhouse, applebees, ruby tuesday, chilis, pizzeria uno and that kinda restaurant, but I dont think they'd take kindly to a bunch of people taking up space for a couple hours after their meal on a busy saturday night. Though if we got there around 430, before the dinner rush, it might be OK.
Can we get any kind of semi-accurate head count? We should reserve a few tables wherever we try to go.

I wouldn't use Denny's and good food in the same sentence. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/puke.gif
I will be happy to go to a meet and greet, but there's gotta be a few people there. We got 87zuke and 87zukejr, me and my spousal unit, supazuk and future mrs supazak and as probably mr and mrs wildweasel. That's 8 people. Can anyone else sa for sure that they're coming? With a group that (relatively) small we could go somewhere the food is actually good without worrying about having to deal with a huge party. Still, it will be saturday night and all restaurants are busy on saturday nights.
just got back from camping for the weekend, I'll check in again later.

the UNO by the BBall hall of fame is a good place, I agree. I thought Berni had school or something?
I'd also like to put in a vote for making it a little earlier since the 4:30 time was set in an attempt to accomodate CTBrent, who is now not going (?) The night race from Bristol is Saturday night at 7pm and I'd rather watch it live than tape it. If we can get started earlier and completely miss both lunch and dinner crowds, maybe at 2 pm, that would be swell.

I got my babysitter moved so I can be at the Springfield, Mass UNO Chicago Grill at the Basketball Hall of Fame with Kim at 2 pm on saturday the 27th. I will call ahead to make sure they can seat about 10 people unless folks pop in to say they can make it since it's a little earlier now, then I will adjust the total upwards.
Here's a link to a map and directions if you are not sure where to go:
