Possible Saturday night Pre-ESPN dinner
Tuesday, December 28th, 2004
Last year a bunch of us bloggers got together for an impromptu dinner prior to the ESPN Turtle party. I believe we took over Duffberts' table at the brewery on the boardwalk. Rob suggested we do the same this year. Bloggers and non-bloggers alike are welcome! If this idea gets some traction I will let you know the time and place.

I'm getting in early morning Saturday - so unless I'm getting together with business partners or otherwise I will definately be there!

If I get there early enough and have no conflicts, sounds like a plan. Will there be Karaoke there? (since it is before the sphere I can sing then, no? that way we will drive everyone out and have the whole place to ourselves.

Count me in as well. I'll be in by noon on Saturday, so food sounds great!

I'm getting in at about 5pm on the Saturday so I could do with a bit of food before a night of Guinness and banter.

Can't make it. Conflict with annual Penumbra Group dinner.

If you two vertically challenged guys need a hand getting up on the podium let us know.

@Rich and Penumbra,

How dare you snub us by having your dinner on Saturday night and not changing it so you can party with us

Aside from Rich snubbing us it looks like this idea has definite traction. Duffbert and I need to do a quick A/V check on Sat eve (6pm, I believe). Last year that took about 5 minutes, so I'm guessing that Team-TSG will be invading the dinner, wherever it ends up.....and then of course beer must follow (or accompany) the dinner

I'll be getting in on Friday... playing golf on Saturday... so whatever time that finishes I can be there for dinner.

@All,

Looks like we may have a large gathering brewing. Anyone else interested? Please sign in and let us know.

Thanks!

hmmmm... I'm a lotusphere US virgin and a (relative) newbie in the blog arena. Will know nobody (except Declan and possibly Bill Buchan of course). That being said, food and beer is tempting.... count me in for at least the drinks and possibly the dinner aswell.

I'll probably be at Penumbra also - PaulM - just across from the Dolphin, on the boardwalk. This place also has the best beer in the whole of the compex - so just follow the trail of broken bodies..

Still waiting to find out if I'm going to LS '05 or not.
If I manage to get there, I'll be there.

I'm arriving on Friday on the same flight as Bill so whilst he's gonna go to the Penumbra gig, I'll cover this one.

P.S. Spuggy gets into Orlando at about 16:30 on Saturday so I'll hook up with him when he arrives and drag him over to meet everyone

Cool,

Now we have to pick a place to takeover.

How about the same place as last year? Half way down the Boardwalk towards ESPN from The Swan (if the old grey cells server me correctly)

@TheOldGit,

That's the spot. Remember last time with The Turtle how they gave us crap about putting a few tables together? After we got over that littlle spat we had the coolest waiter! We need to find out the name of that place! Something brewery... ah..Google found it:

Just putting some finishing touches on my Sphere calendar...

So is this the restaurant everyone is going to be at?

Like Paul, I'm a virgin when it comes to knowing people by person in the Domino blogging communnity, although I attended LS'2004. But wouldn't mind meeting you guys in person, so I'll drop by this Saturday!
