Patrick, they're pulling your leg!!! Beside, if we are letting the youngest person pay, actually that would be Apple's daughter..... You're off the hook.


TIS

Whatever gave you that idea??

Pat, don't listen to him. Of course you don't.

that's too bad Pat, because I really was looking forward to finally meeting you.


Don Cardi

Thanks TIS. About how old is Apple's daughter, BTW?

Leave it to TIS and SB to spill the beans. Ok, you're off the hook Pat. We were pulling your leg. But there is one rule that we DO have for the newbies at our dinners : You at least have to buy TIS ONE cute little blue girly drink, ok?

Don Cardi

No, I think Apple, Beth and Plaw are also only coming on Saturday. Besides, I'm just squeezing your shoes. La Veranda, which seems to be ahead in the votes, seems absolutely lovely.

Anyway, a good friend told me that we can eat at Shula's in Manhattan any time.

Yeh, I'll buy one for SB too. :p And Apple's daughter.

Calm yourself Pat. :rolleyes:

She's 7 years old.


Don Cardi

Are you drunk tonight? I know that they are all coming on friday. The Question I asked is are you the ONLY one NOT coming on Friday night.


Don Cardi

WHOOPS. My bad. I was thinking 15 or 16. My apologies.

I know, DC, I know!! I am slightly out of it. I did mean to say Saturday, and not Friday, and went back and corrected it. My bad!! I must be distracted by the memory of Jeter sliding headfirst into third, arms outstretched...and getting tagged out!!

Yea but Patrick, Mig is bringing her daughter, who is cute a cutie. However, I think she's a little too old for you.

And SB, are you sure you didn't get the "alcohol taster" job???


TIS

Was it that he got tagged out, or that he slid head first with all of his glory in your view, that distracted you? :p


Don Cardi

Eh, I'm sure you ladies will all be over me after I do Boston.

It's after my usual bed time, what can I say.

Scusi, ma Io sono bilioso...Cicci! A porta!!

Was it that he got tagged out, or that he slid head first with all of his glory in your view, that distracted you? :p


Don Cardi [/b][/quote]I'm going to treat that as a rhetorical question, silly man.

Sorry Pat but Becky is taken. And she is a few years older than you.

Of course you can bring your own booze into the hotel.

How are they gonna stop you?

Restaurants, of course, are a different story, and I don't think Philly has any BYO's.

Last time we were in Philly we ate in a great little Italian place that was walking distance from where we'll be staying - no more than 10-12 blocks or so, anyway - which was authentic and "homey", had really good food with big portions, and was relatively inexpensive.

(Kind of like the difference food and price-wise between the original "Carolina" in Brooklyn "Tommassos", DC, just to give you an idea).

Trouble is, I forgot the name of the place .

Lemme do some investigating and get back to you.

Of course you can bring your own booze into the hotel.

That's ok Pat, if you can't sneak in a bottle just dont' forget the dime bag. :p

Don Cardi

I voted for shulas. I would really like to go there. Why cant we take a cab to the moshulo from shulas after we eat if we want to go there for drinks?


DS

Santana still stinks, but shulas rules.

shulas shulas shulas!!!!


DS

As I've been saying, it really doesn't matter to me, honest. However, I see the poll shows the majority voted for the Italian restaurant. I bring this up because when we voted as to where we were going to have this meeting, I believe we went by the majority on the poll, didn't we??? You know the democratic process and all.


TIS

Yes, majority may be dictating in this vote, however if we go by the democratic process, then the electorial process will decide where we have dinner.


Don Cardi

They have Shula's all over the country.

If we want to go there we can go to the one in Manhattan, which is about 5 minutes from the Lincoln Tunnel.

If we're gonna travel an hour and a half and 100 miles to visit another city, isn't it more fun to eat in a restaurant that's unique to that particular place?

S'cuse me...but didn't our Don JGeoff mention the thing about Shula's being a 'chain' and that we should consider specifically Philly/GF places way back somewhere in the 'Convention' thread?

I thought so...

Apple

THAT is hysterical and furthermore, I agree!

So here's Gangser BB electoral process:

DON JGeoff's vote is worth 30 electoral votes

CONSIGLIERI DC's/SC's/Plaw's vote is each worth 20 electoral votes (although I don't even know if SC has voted yet)

All other MALE votes worth 10 electoral votes.

All FEMALE votes worth 35 electoral (5 more than The Don!)

So, everyone publicly state your preferences so we can do the math and decide this as a Democracy!!

Apple

Why are you and Plawrence singling me out? I'm not the only one who voted for shulas. I think that I can pick where I would like to eat.


DS

Hey, wait a minute....I'm a consigliere too. :p

See.....
