Open Invitation ~ Thursday
« on: July 07, 2009, 10:47:11 PM »
SOoooo, I am in Boca for a trade show and this all started with me asking Ron Donahue out for lunch this Thursday.  Then Klassic mentioned he wanted to come too.  Now Mojo mentioned he may come too.  I don't think Ron would mind because truly we were not going to discuss the secrets of the universe or anything, but if anyone would like to join us, you are welcome to come.  Right now, I am thinking Chili's off Okeechobee Road and I-95 between 12:15 and 12:30 pm.  Head West on Okeechobee Road it is on the left less than a mile.  Link is here:

If plans change, I will update.

There used to be pins at the Palm Beach Ale House, but I do not think there are any there now.  I can ask the operator.  The nearest pins from there that are accessible are probably at Moho's place or at my house.  Sadly, I will probably only be able to make the lunch and not offer a follow up party.  Look forward to seeing the guys I know and meeting those I do not.

We can make it Ale House if they have some pins. If not let's stick to Chili's unless some hates it.

I checked with the operator at the Ale House and he has a Police force there.  My preference would be the Chili's, as that Ale House is not that great of a restaurant.  The chain is very good, but that particular location is not all that great.  So, I would vote for Chili's.

per the map and my memory, it's about 2 miles west of i-95, before military trail, on the south side.

That is correct.  It is in a large big box center with a KMart as the main anchor.  I have some pinballs in the truck for you.  Remind me if I forget to bring them in to the restaurant.  I am pretty sure that Jim (Mojo) will be there as well.

Great to see Mojo and Ibis, as well as meeting Klassic.  A good time was had by all, and I hope that we can meet up again some time.

Damn, Ron!  You paid for Leon's meal?  I bet the pocket is a little lighter tonight!  LOL 

Glad you guys had a good time.  Almost popped up to surprise you all, but got stuck at the courthouse.

Next time!
