1. Steve, You know I check these places out before the reefers meet
2. too far....that is why we own cars or hogs
3. some of the best places are mom and pop diners
4. Safe neighbourhood...Try hanging around beverly a few hours at night
5. This is technically the last meeting before summer...so if someone like Laurie wants the job to carry into summer, I need a break. I might takeover in the fall if Laurie doesn't want the job. Or maybe some else
6. I often change dates or times for people if necessary/possible
-Sat actually worked better for me
7. I prefer lunch vs breakfast ......Mucho Burritto..haven't been there in a while
8. I don't mind changing location..... works for me.....But try not to make Alberts/Smittys the only spot to go to

Hey sorry I gave you a hard time it's just that I'm fairly broke so if I'm going to justify spending money eating out then I want to know I'm going to enjoy the food. I do know that you usually check out the restaurants and we appreciate that :biggrin: and you're right some of the best food comes from Mom and Pop places.

On a side note I've wanted to check out Mucho Burritto for awhile, we should do an afternoon meet there sometime :mrgreen: FYI I prefer lunch over breakfast too.....why did that change?

I wouldn't mind doing the reef meets only problem is I'm on holidays the first 2 weeks of June and Doug's getting close to convincing me to sell and move to Calgary.......anyone looking to buy a house in the Londonderry/Kilkenny Edmonton area? :wink:

ALang 04-29-2011 02:44 PM

NOOOOOoooo! You're not moving to Calgary?:sad:

I seriously hate the thought of selling my fish, packing and moving away from friends and family, but I hate the feeling of limbo I have and hate being away from Doug....

Ah now you too are just so sweet it's giving me a tooth ack :twisted:
You don't have to sell your fishes Laurie, just find some sucker, I mean some nice fellow reefer to babysit then for you until you & Dougster get settled in. Then you can have MTS together :biggrin:

RedCoralEdmonton 04-29-2011 06:39 PM

We checked out this place this morning and it was great, awesome service and awesome food.... but unfortunately we wont be going there, it is way too small to fit our group, expect Fencer to post the actual place and time later today, but we were thinking Ricky's All Day Grill, on kingsway ave.

I live on the north side and can't fall asleep with out the sound of gun shots. Gives you that " safe and sound " feeling! Man I gotta move!

ALang 04-29-2011 09:00 PM

Reef-Keeper,
??Why does your avatar show a pair of Discus??:twised:
Never mind, just random thoughts frittering by and I cannot control myself.:redface:

Back to topic...anywhere is fine with me. Just a place big enough that they won't give us the hairy eyebrows for loitering after our meal is done to chat...Or when we get too loud and rowdy, esp when Grizz may be here for this meeting. Just sayin':wink:

Could be why Fencer keeps changing locations...they won't allow us back:mrgreen:

reef-keeper 04-29-2011 09:53 PM

Sorry about the Discus but the reef tank is still offline and those are in a 40 gallon that I have running to get my sort of fish fix. I think if that is all I can get I'm going to run with it!! Beggars can't be choosers is my thinking and according to my wife I'm lucky to have that(lol)

ALang 04-29-2011 10:27 PM

At least YOU have an avatar. Jealous, that's all.

Hathaway's review:

This is an excellent diner. Food is good and fairly price. Staff is quite personable. they were busy on a Friday morning at 10. The reasons for the change in diners is:

1. I asked the owner about have a meeting of 10 people. She said that would be okay but on Sat it is busy. You would have to wait to get that group of 10 seats.
2. Because it is small waiting customers tend to scowl at you if you take too long eating( that is what the owner said)
3. They are not open Sunday
4. I would definitely go back. They have an eggs benedict special only on Sat.....I am going to check that out.....
5. Steve suggested Ricks Grill

noirsphynx 04-30-2011 07:01 PM

never been to a meeting, whats usually on the agenda?

sgreen 05-05-2011 03:25 PM

It is a way to meet fellow hobbiests. Topics are open to anything. Hope to see you out there.

ALang 05-05-2011 04:02 PM

Mostly to eat, and meet great fellow hobbyists.
We do lots of discussions on any topics that comes to mind, whether it's puppies, cars, Harleys, sps, fish, latest trending chemicals, buying and selling, swapping stuff, lots of whitish powders in baggies exchanging hands (only in this hobby!).
Pretty friendly and casual crowd, you'll enjoy meeting us.:razz:
Hope to see you there!
Lenny.
