chrozzo 19 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Note: a standard 18% gratuity will be added, plus 7.75% tax, so each guy will be looking at ~$95 total (excluding drinks). FWIW, this menu ordered ala carte would run each person up to $115 BWAHAHAHA!!! dare to dream!cubsfan (he has bid 50 cents for the seat next to Geena, all bids are nonrefundable)i bid 1.15 for a seat next to Nutz....becuase ive so longed to get drunk with him, he understands me and my beer mind Link to post Share on other sites

chrozzo 19 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Thanks Pots, just cause we're complaining doesn't mean we aren't appreciative of what you're trying to set up. I know its hard to get a group like this organized.I am pretty familiar with the inner workings of restaurants and stuff. Ideally, they should be able to say you're going to have a menu with a steak, fish, and chicken entree on it, and if you want you can upgrade the steak to surf and turf. And we would be able to decide on which of these things we'd want when we arrive, not in advance. That is what I would consider 'standard' for a big group. Plus, make sure they know we're all poker players. IMO the waitstaff should be drooling over us, plus we will order more alcohol than they probably have available. Really that is what they should be taking advanced orders on, drinks... Markhell yes! Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I for one don't plan on spending a bunch of money on drinks at dinner when I'll get them for free in the poker room right after.Maybe that's just me. Link to post Share on other sites

troyomac 0 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I had my first lesson today. Putting. My instructor got me to hit a few how I normally would, he said I had a decent looking putt. He then got me to change pretty much everything about it. I actually sank a few fairly long putts, and started feeling pretty good about it. Next week will be chipping, and hopefully before Vegas I can get some work on my irons and drives. Then I can quit punching my 4 hybrid from 100 yards out, and start knocking a full swing wedge onto the green. Link to post Share on other sites

copernicus 0 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I was thinking that we might change the onejackoff glasses prize from closest to the pin to a putting contest...that gives everyone more of a shot at it, and also could occupy some of the time waiting from the first groups tee time to the last group.Run the contest in order of tee times, each player gets 3 tries at a fairly long and difficult one, if more than one sink it they have have a playoff after the rounds are over, otherwise its the closest or the only one to sink it. Whoever is in the last group has the measuring tape.Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites

We must agree on one menu, although folks can decide (within that menu) what they want once they get there. Given this, I propose we opt for the $75 one. This gives our group the most selections and includes the Dover Sole as the seafood (as opposed to the Salmon, which had no takers). This also bumps the steak from a 10oz Filet to a 14oz NY Strip. Here's the full options on the $75 Menu:SOUP--Choice of Lobster Bisque (w/ Warm Bacon Goat Cheese Sandwich) or Classic Onion Soup (with Gruyere Cheese Gratin, Sourdough Croutons)CAESAR SALAD--w/ Garlic Cheese Croutons and Black Pepper Caesar DressingENTREE--Choice of Dover Sole (w/ Steamed Vegetables), Chicken (w/ Wild Mushroom Ragout) or 14oz. Bone-In NY Strip (w/ Signature Sauces)SIDES--Mac-n-Cheese and Creamed SpinachDESSERT--Chef's Nightly Selection (TBD)Note: a standard 18% gratuity will be added, plus 7.75% tax, so each guy will be looking at ~$95 total (excluding drinks). FWIW, this menu ordered ala carte would run each person up to $115 with tax and tip on their own, so it's good from that standpoint, plus obv we all get the huge benefits of our own reserved space and being served at the same time.So...IF we want to pursue this, we need the group to OK this menu and then get some form of payment up front (at least $50 each) to Copernicus and/or Mark (both of whom have graciously agreed to handle this for us) in order to secure the reservation as soon as possible (no later than 5/23).Post if you're down for this and I'll look to Copernicus and Mark to remind us how to get payment to them so we can secure our reservation. Nutz and I think this is a great way to go for our large group and hope you'll agree. If not, no worries and hopefully we'll still see you at MC Poker Room at 9pm for the poker tourney. Thanks and looking forward to it!OFFICIAL I AM ALL IN FOR DINNER NO MATTER WHAT!
