That communial table dinner sounds awesome! I wish I could go, I have family in town on that day. :

At least one of us should attend this event.

[MsRamsey]

I shouldn't go, but this (the Communal Dinner) sounds great. Is anyone here going?

[tighe]

This sounds really cool, unfortunately I have at least two conflicts that evening....

[nightscotsman]

It sounds really good to me, and quite reasonable considering it includes "food, wine, tax and gratuity". I'm seriously interested. It doesn't say who will be responsible for dessert, though.

[scrat68]

I think you should offer to bring dessert!!

[malarkey]

yeah, this is tempting isn't it.... hmmmm

[malarkey]

anybody going to this?? I betcha its not full yet...

[MsRamsey]

I heard that it is full.

[malarkey]

well good I'm glad. That way 1) I *can't* submit to temptation and go, and 2) tammy's soiree is booked up!

[MsRamsey]

I just talked to Bryan to confirm that it's full, and it is, but he took my number in case someone cancels. Why did I just do that??

[malarkey]

because you really did want to go all along. sooo?? was there a cancelation?

[SparrowsFall]

I gave Brian a call at the last minute Wednesday on the off chance. No way. Talked to him last night and he said it sold out in about a day. I said "do more" and he acknowledged as how that would be really smart.
