DoubleJ Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Larry: Please send me your address so I can send payment. There's a 60% chance that I'll be able to make the concert so I want to make sure I have a spot and you have the money!!! JJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Wow, that's great if you can come, Jon! It will be a great time! You'll get a PM shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymd Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 JJ - You really should come! We always have a great time. Bring the rest of the Wisconsin boys with you. BTW - There's about a 100% chance I'll be attending the concert. Don't hold that against Larry though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 Hi Larry, As you know, I am in for this one. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PYRO Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Larry How many seats do you still have available? Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 Rob, I was going to post on this soon -- all 16 that I reserved have been spoken for (!!), but I can call Strathmore Monday and reserve more! How many would you want? FYI, 12 of the 16 are Forum members and 4 are friends of mine. One forum member is somewhat tentative, and he's sending me a check anyway. I recently called for everyone's checks with a target date of today, Nov. 1. I have 3 already, so things are moving along nicely. It's a very good group, and I think we'll have an outstanding day. I'd love to meet you, and I know the rest would, too. Signers-up are: Garymd (Gary) Thebes (Marty) Dkalsi (Dhar) & Sophia Klipsched w/Yamahas (Mark) colterphoto1 (Michael) Customsteve01 (Steve) & Caroline Mike Lindsey Skonopa (Steve) DoubleJ (Jon), likely Jim & Bridget Joy (friends) Cheryl & Bill Waller (friends) There are 34 seats in the section, so we have about half of them. Ours are at the preferred (IMO!) audience end of the section. They have been on public sale since early September, so some of the rest may have been taken, and sooner is better than later for deciding to add seats. Let me know soon! Thanks for writing, Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 I have just added PYRO/Rob and June, for a total of 18, 14 of whom are Forum members/SO's, and 4 are friends of mine. I now have 4 checks, so things continue moving along. The current signers-up for the concert are: Garymd (Gary) Thebes (Marty) Dkalsi (Dhar) & Sophia Klipsched w/Yamahas (Mark) colterphoto1 (Michael) Customsteve01 (Steve) & Caroline Mike Lindsey Skonopa (Steve) DoubleJ (Jon), likely PYRO (Rob) & June Jim & Bridget Joy (friends) Cheryl & Bill Waller (friends) There are 34 seats in the section, so we have just over half, all in a single bloc at the preferred (IMO!) audience end of the section. In spite of having been on public sale since early September, our group are STILL the only people in the section! Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 This is a schematic seating chart -- our seats are in green: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 I need to make restaurant reservations for April 25. So, before Amy unpins this for the Holidays (we'll pin it back up later), I would like to get a count of who wants to be at the dinner, which will start around 5:15 p.m. The dinner is always good times. Please post or send me a PM or e-mail by November 15. I'll look for a place with a mix of prices and choices. Also, please send in your check if you haven't already if you're going to the concert. Many thanks! Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Payment sent, thanks for organizing this again Larry! Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lindsey Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Larry, Count me in for dinner, and please email me your address so I can get a check out to you. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Mike, e-mail to come shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsched with Yamahas Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Larry, I mailed mine out last Friday (been on vacation). You should have received it by now. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Mark, I haven't seen it and yes it should have been here by now. Mailman's already come today, so I'll be in touch after tomorrow's mail. On another topic, since it doesn't make much sense to commit to dinner 5 months from now, I just made reservations for 16 at Jean-Michel's in Bethesda. A nice place, ala carte menu, not far from Strathmore. Marty and Mike have been there. From 5:15 to 7:15 p.m. on Saturday the 25th. http://www.jeanmichelrestaurant.com/ Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klipsched with Yamahas Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I still have the USPostal Money Order receipt, so if you DO NOT receive it by week's end, please let me know. $32.00 Everyone is so busy sending congratulations letters to Obama, so maybe the service is a little slow[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 BTW, I send an e-mail acknowledgement after I get each check. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryC Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Michael, The menu looks a little concerning now that you mention it -- Michael, take a look at the menu variety and prices and let me know what you think: http://www.jeanmichelrestaurant.com/Both_Menus.htm I hope I don't have to go on a restaurant search, but will do it if people want.

colterphoto1 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I know it's a big night out, but personally I'd rather keep the supper before the show simple and light fare. Upon further review, I'll be fine with just a salad. Bet it's a nice place. We'd better play 'dress up'. hmm, should I bring my tuxedo?
