...for a total of 26 with 28 possible!  I love big BT gatherings!!!  TooJay's is gonna be blown away!!  LOL  I think I will call them and tell them they're gonna be invaded by triathletes. 

First off, Jeff?  THANK YOU FOR BEING SO AWESOME FOR TRYING TO HERD THIS MANY CATS!

Any ops for Outback in Clearwater?  My whiny side is saying fillet on Friday and Salmon on Saturday. 

I'm in for two.  KPT is coming over with me.  Let me know how things are settling down.

Also, we're probably heading back towards Tampa for cigar shopping Saturday afternoon.  Any takers?

And Frank?  I for sure better get to give you a hug at some point or another!

Hey kids. G8R's are in for (4) for Friday night, even though you're not counting!!   And 2 for Saturday night.  Of course my pick is Marino's for a big fat filet!! 

Lil G8R and medium-G8R are racing Meek & Mighty Saturday morning, so I would LOVE to have some love for them if ya'll can come cheer!!  

Me too!  Me too!   

Here's the Wednesday morning update!

I'm going down to St. Pete tonight to check out some possibilities for Friday. 
Thanks for the alternative suggestions guys!  Marino's is a great place, and I'm up for it, I would just be concerned with cost and their ability to seat 35+.  If we all wanna switch to that though, no problem there...the food rocks!  Outback is another possibility...I'm just not sure how many people have cars or the ability to get around or get out of town for the evening.  For those of you who aren't familiar, St. Pete and Clearwater are neighboring, but it would be a 15 minute drive there.  Either place is fine by me though, cuz I can take or leave TooJay's, I'm not married to any one idea. OK so here's the updated list...

Brings total to 42 with 49 possible!  Do I hear 50??

If we get past 50, can we throw Spaghetti Warehouse back in the mix?  Maybe they're better at that number. 

I can't believe rkrueser didn't RSVP for me...I'm in...where Rick goes I go.... 

Gotcha Jen...

43 confirmed, 50 possible. 
Hmmm spaghetti warehouse...you WERE kidding right?  LOL

By any chance is anyone getting Thursday night ( that's flying ) to Tampa?

-Chris

We're ROOMING, not married?!! 

I thought Rick and I were hooking you up?

Wow.  Jen's the creamy white filling of the pasty white Felt mafia. 

Now I know why she went to the spa. 

Looks that way.  But on the off chance someone was already heading from the airport that way, then it'd save y'all a trip.

But since it looks like nobody is...  yes.

Say wah?

WEDNESDAY NIGHT UPDATE!!

OK peeps...here's the deal.  I did some research in St. Pete tonight.  Had dinner at Moon Under Water (an English Pub type place) and thought it might be a possibility.  It's not.  Food was good but they can't accomodate us and the selection wasn't nearly what we'd need to satisfy the diverse tastes.  I visited Dan Marino's.  OK, talk about a surprise!  The entrees are between 12 and 20 bux, the apps are between 5 and 8, full bar, LARGE selection of food, and they can accomodate us. 

So I went ahead and made a tentative reservation.  It can be cancelled with no problem, I just did this to keep our options open.  They can accomodate a party of 50 to 55 with no problem but we have to be there at 5 and have to be done by 7.  I need to know if this is feasible for you guys or if we should just stick with TooJay's.  Either way, this is also a possibility for Friday's dinner.  I know there will be a smaller group Friday so most places within walking distance are possible.  There's also the Parkview Grill (I think that's what it was called) right next to Moon Under Water.  We'll work that stuff out Friday.

Honestly, I'd prefer Marino's over TooJay's for Saturday's dinner.  It's inside, it's more comfortable, and we can be just as social.  If y'all think the deli thing is better, we can still do that, we won't need a reservation for it but with 50 people the food will take a LONG time since they make their food per order.

OK, that's it.  So if Marino's doesn't work out, we'll stick with TooJay's.  I'm assuming everyone who confirmed for Saturday will still be there.  Let's still meet near TooJay's so we have a central location to get together.  Marino's is right there almost next to it.  My only concern is everyone getting there at 5.  Is this possible?  IMO the earlier the better since y'all need to get as much rest as possible.

Jeff's research report concluded.  Whew.
