Pardon my tardiness (and unwillingness to read through 65 pages)

but what date is this tentative DO to be held in NYC? or is that also just speculation at this point?

04/03/2011. It's confirmed. Location looks like it'll be Le Marais, but not 100% final yet.

04/03
3:30pm pre-dinner drinks at Clubhouse Cafe.
4:30pm dinner at Le Marais.
Unless someone else comes up with another place that people would rather go to.

@PC: its true that its harder to find girls/women into miles, but have several ones on this forum, some of which I didn't see any posts in a long time.

That's what I thought too until a little while ago.  You wouldn't believe the depth of the whole coupon shitck. My friend's wife has getting all her groceries for free down to a science.  She's got closets full of stuff she gets for free.  The strategies she uses are pretty neat.  I've told her she ought to put her mind into miles!

You should tell her about the free diapers and she'll come running.

E, Ceejay and Chaikel. BrooklynCPA added at the last minute (he took Chaikel's spot).

Any interest in Wolf & Lamb? I know the manager there and I can ask him if he'll give us a more favorable group rate, discount for a DD ad, etc.

I've never been to any of the places mentioned here - including the above - so I can't recommend or compare one to another.

Never been there.  For those who have been to LM and W&L how do they compare?

Who do you know @ LM? ZH?

I dunno if they want their names published, let's give them another day or two.

I think LM is better ambiance/food than W&L, though it's been a while since I've been to W&L, so may have gotten better since.

Why don't we stick to LM, especially since it seems we'll be less than 15 at this point.

let's stick with LM,  it's not my favorite, but i've never heard anything too great about WL.
also, it's right across from the clubhouse which makes it easy for people to drink early and not have to drive in between

You mean Wolf and Lamb, right? CBK - friend and classmate.

Why don't we stick to LM, especially since it seems we'll be less than 15 at this point.

Aside from food quality and prices which I'm clueless about for both places, I'd say if a place is willing to accommodate our group - and we know LM has no interest in that - that should be a reason to switch. Another important factor is noise level. It sounds like that may be a problem at LM, I have no idea what W&L is like so I'm waiting to hear from someone who does know. I've also heard you can also request Lubavitch meat at W&L which is a plus for me, but  the DO is about us meeting each other more then looking for food to eat...

I completely agree with you. Only that some of the DO attendees may be more particular about these things, so I'm happy to accommodate and join them @ LM.

We're down to one MIA. One fellow says he'll be making payment via Amazon Payments.

What do we do with our last deadbeat? :P To be fair, he's probably been busy, not active much on the forums lately.

3. BrooklynCPA (called dibs on Chaikel's spot)
4. Mikeoracle
5. Smirk
6. MOSES
7. whYME
8. yare

Can we agree on LM now that we're below 15 attendees?

I think that anyone who made/makes a donation to dansdeals should get an automatic free spot in this ddf do. No matter how many posts or who likes or doesn't like the member
