Dear (Starry Knights of) OAFs...

Janice and I have had a chance to verify our schedules now, and find
that we will be going to the RASC meeting next Saturday. So... we'd
just love to join Rob, Frank, MikeZ, Richard and any other OAFs,
any friends of OAFs (or anyone who's seen or heard a Photon and
enjoyed it, for that matter) at dinner beforehand.

Since this will be a Saturday, and not a Friday, perhaps we don't need
to go to a "fast food" place like MacDonald's or Harvey's. Both
suggestions of Lick's and Kelsey's sound good to us. I have to admit
Rob's description of Lick's sounds interesting. If there are any
other suggestions, let's hear them. Then, if we need to, we could set
up a quick vote, maybe, and make a decision? Time of dinner ( 2 or 3
hours before RASC meeting? )

We're both looking forward to sharing dinner with you. Bring
observing logbooks, photos, pictures of scopes, books, maps, articles,
questions, whatever -- or not. Just be sure to bring yourselves!

Looking forward to it!

Photon Man (& Lady J)

I'd like to avoid fast-food.

Both
suggestions of Lick's and Kelsey's sound good to us.

Should be pick based on location, like near St-Laurent ave?
I'm not too familliar with the restaraunts in the neiborhood.
I know of kelsy's and red lobster. Any good chineese
restaurants in the area?

Hmmm,

Given that time will be on our side (compared to a Friday evening), fast
food certainly isn't a requirement.

Hmmm... good chinese restaurants in the area...I know a fairly good Thai
restaurant (again at Alta Vista and Bank), and there is a Cathay
something or other somewhere on St. Laurent I believe. But my
impression of them (there used to be one around the corner) (well around
the corner and down the street) was pretty average. There is a Hooters
on St-L. (which my wife mentioned - incidentally her name is Chris so
I'll stop using that term from now on - mentioned, though she isn't
willing to stand behind it as a suggestion). There is also a Texas
Steak Co. on St-L, though I recall not being impressed. There is a
Robbie's Italian restaurant too - I've either been to it or to a
Robbie's Spaghetti House (on Walkley) and it was pretty good.

For chinese we tend to get take out (we're a little bit west of the
museum's neighbourhood) from the Penan Wok on Bank (just south of the
canal) which is generally pretty good... ummm, how many oafs are going
to meet for dinner? And do any of them have problems with large,
friendly (but not a jumper) dogs (just the one)? Or issues with eating
from their laps (well, maybe plates could be found, but the plates would
be on your knees - or we could use the dining room, but really take-out
chinese doesn't seem appropriate somehow in the dining room)? And will
Chris actually let me make the implied invite???? (Seriously, I would
expect her to).

And we are 5-10 minutes drive from the Museum, which isn't really close
(or really far). And we do have control over music or video selections,
though I'm not sure about putting in Life of Brian with the kids
around...Apollo 13 perhaps?

On the other hand, the Pizza Hut at Industrial and St.L bears little
resemblance to *fast* food - others could debate about the "food" part
but that's not what I'm getting at... I believe there is a Milano's in
the area too.

I guess on the opposite side of the museum from us, there is the
Mandarin Ogilvie (which may have had some sort of issue with an
inspection, or maybe it was just a reviewer a couple of years ago - but
they certainly had a lot of loyal fans as well).

Anyone else with thoughts? I realize it is monday (and after the time
change and everything) so having thoughts may be a lot to ask, but look
at all I've typed without the benefit of thoughts...

One last comment (again a bit farther from the museum), there is a brew
pub (i.e. they brew 3 types of beer on the premises) on Bank about
midway between the river and the canal that we quite like. (plus free
samples to figure out which you want to order - and it really blows
their minds when you say, "I've been here before, I don't need the
samples").

Oh yeah, I do have to say that Kelsey's is certainly convenient to the
meeting. OK, two last comments...

Brew pub on Bank, and Kelsey's is close to the meeting. Oh, and
Kelsey's does have pretty good food. OK, three last comments...

Rob ("bring out the comfy chair!")

The brew pub works for me....I may be easy, but I'm not cheap! :o)

It's not much of a cheese shop really, is it?
Finest in the district Sir!!
And what leads you to that conclusion?
Well its so clean!!
Well its certainly uncontaminated by cheese!!!
