Pre-Columbia Dinner/Meet up - maybe after too??? (Page 3)

Daremo - 2009-05-11 11:51 AM Don't want to break Lauren out of her routine ...... if she is anything like she was at LP, she will be a nervous nelly.

C'mon L, come and eat with the crowd!!  No pressure.

Haha. This one could be worse... I tend to be even more nervous for the shorter races, and this is the first time in a few years I am feeling underprepared for a race and just kinda did "whatever" with my training.

I'll think about it. I also go to bed very early the night before a race, and I like to be in bed watching TV an hour before "lights out," just so I can veg out a bit and fall asleep. And then I get like 10 mins into the race and I am just having fun and don't care about anything anymore and ask myself why I had to be so neurotic and not enjoy life for the past 5 days? Haha. I do have a wedding to go to on Friday night. I'm not staying for dinner, but will be there through the cocktail hour...that's gonna throw me off too.

Wait aren't you the one who is like .25% coming to this event Rick

Sold the Prelude, actually have a little money now (until I pay bills) .....

It is really up to Mir.  Haven't confirmed what we are doing yet.  May still be a chance we'll come.

heck just bring the kids and we can have a big party!

Sounds good to me.  Will we be heading to the Lake to drop off our bike after and then dinner?!

I'll wear some super bright T-shirt that stands out and maybe also some funky shorts!!  I guess if you see other people looking at their watches and starting at the door then I figure we can find each other.

Yeah that works.  I plan to go there tomorrow evening to get a reservation.  I tried calling today but all I got was a guy who barely spoke english (this place is almost 100% italian) so it was a little hard to understand.  I think we will be okay considering they have plenty of seats.

I stopped by this past weekend around the same time and it was pretty empty but the place can sit around 50-70 people probably.

^^^ Yay!

Just a reminder for everyone that the dinner will be at the Northern Laurel Pasta Blitz at 7530  Montpelier Road
Laurel, MD 20723 at 6. 

It's in the shopping center behind the gas station.  The restaurant is all the way at the end, on the right side, of the shopping center.  It looks like if you google Pasta Blitz Laurel, MD, the address for their Clarksville location comes up....don't go to that one!!

Schweet this should be a good turn out.  I honestly think we will be okay with 15-20 people.  I'll try to get their early to get tables with whoever else comes with me/meet me at the hotel for packet pick up and bike drop off. 

newleaf - 2009-05-13 10:40 AM Is there room for a gimp who had to withdraw from the race? 

Of course!   Does anyone know where you can get those name tags such as " Hi! My name is?"

I was somewhat serious.  FIgure 20 people roughly with only online personalities and also considering I'm HORRBIE with names and forget your name 10 minutes after I met the person.

If you can pick them up, that'd be awesome.  BT names would be preferred obviously
