More outer borough adventures

[tommy]

neither date is very good for me. i'm begging out.

[MartyL]

Sorry to chime in late. Either of those dates looks promising for me at this point, but I won't be sure I can make it until the last minute. If you can hold a spot for me, great, but if there is a space limitation, people who can commit in advance should get priority over me. Thanks for organizing, Nina.

[LaNiña]

Okay. Waiting on Soba, and anybody else?

[SobaAddict70]

The 18th is a Monday and might be bad, considering that several transactions will probably seek to close as soon as practicable before Thanksgiving, so I will most likely be stuck at work.

Another time, perhaps.

The 14th is preferable for me, subject to whatever may be happening at work, of course.

[LaNiña]

Okay folks. It'll be Monday the 18th. nesita can never do anything on a non-Monday and she constantly gets shafted as a result, so that's one reason. Also, not so easy for Nick to get to Queens. And the 18th is a little better for me, and I"m the organizer, therefore I invoke organizer's privilege. Sorry to Rory and CathyL, but dem's da breaks. I'll be delighted go again, soon even.

So....details to follow, but here's a little: Sripraphai is BYO. It's just 4 blocks fromt the #7 train to 61st St. I'll post directions and address, etc. soon. It's easy, about 15 minutes of train time from Grand Central.

Here's who I have as coming on the 18th:

Nina

Nina's beau

BklynEats

StefanyB

Nick Gatti

nesita

Toby

maybe MartyL

maybe Soba

And 2 anonymous (yeah yeah but no kidding)

[Stephanie]

And the time?

[LaNiña]

How's about 7pm?

[Robert Nesta Marley]

7 is fine with me.

[Wilfrid]

And 2 anonymous  (yeah yeah but no kidding)

Hmmm (scratches head). Give me a clue. Does one of them occasionally dress as a french maid as part of her work?

[LaNiña]

As a matter of fact, yes! Wilfrid, you are so smart, in case you didn't already know that.

[Wilfrid]

I fear that mental image will never be erased. I think it was because it was absolutely the very first thing I learnt about her after her name.

And why erase a good thing, I always say.

[LaNiña]

Nina & Beau

BklynEats

2 anonymous

Please confirm or deny....then I'll post detailed directions. And also remember, it's BYO. I'll bring beer.

[MartyL]

I'm still planning to make it, although unpredictable client demands may yet wreak havoc with my plans. I'll bring some German Riesling and some bubbly too. Looking forward to it.

[Robert Nesta Marley]

yes. i may bring alsatian gewurztraminer.

[roryrabbitfield]

As luck would have it, my 11/18 obligation has evaporated. I am now free to attend the Sripraphai outing after all! Can I attend with my husband, Daniel? Let me know...

[LaNiña]

Of course!!!

[Stephanie]

I'll be there. I may bring some beer from the local deli.

[ngatti]

Nina bad news. Gotta bail. Life just got complicated.

Sorry

Nick

Details:

Sripraphai Thai Restaurant

6413 39th Ave.

Phone: (718)899-9599

Take the #7 train to 61st St./Woodside. The express and local both stop there. Get down from the train and walk along Roosevelt Ave in the same direction as the train, until you get to 64th St. Take a left, go one block, and it's on that block, across the street and slightly to the right.

See you all there on Monday at 7pm! If anybody would like my cell number, send me a PM and I'll send it along....remember, Sripraphai is BYO.

[Robert Nesta Marley]

i am very very very very sorry but i have an extremely last minute responsibility that's come up with the wine school & i'm afraid i will probably not be able to go to dinner on monday.

i know that the date was chosen with me in mind. i apologize to those who would've otherwise been able to attend.

sincerely

nesita.

[roryrabbitfield]

Hi! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, Nina. Yes, we're definitely coming on Monday to Sripraphai. We're so happy we can make it! Yay. See you there.

[LaNiña]

Okay, so we'll be 12 people:

Nina & Beau - confirmed

Nina's friend Adam - confirmed

BklynEats - confirmed

StefanyB - confirmed

Toby - confirmed

MartyL - confirmed unless last minute situation arises

Rory & Daniel - confirmed

2 anonymous - yes

1 other possible anonymous

[MartyL]

Sorry all, but unfortunately I have to cancel.

The irony is that it isn't work obligations that are the problem. We signed up a deal on Friday that should have freed me up for a few days. Alas, too many all-nighters at the office last week have left me with a depleted immune system and a fever. Sorry for the public whine too.

My apologies to Nina and the other attendees and I hope to meet you all at some future gathering.

[La Niña]

See you all this evening at 7pm:

Nina & Beau

Nina's friend Adam

BklynEats - confirmed

StefanyB - confirmed

Toby - confirmed

Rory & Daniel - confirmed

1 anonymous

They don't normally take reservations, but I've spoken to them, and the owner told me she'd set a table for 9 and save it for us, so....it's under "Nina."

Remember - BYO (I'm bringing beer).
