St. A's Weekend BT Activities?? (Page 3)

Awww...they probably just dont have enough puke buckets!

OK, thanks for the update...just lemme know when you know.  I think I won't get down there til next weekend anyway.

Count Triorbonk + 2 in.  I will be bringing my wife and father-in-law who is also racing.

 We will also join for the swim.

*sigh*  Put out an honorary empty seat for me, will ya?  So sad I'm missing it.  And double sad about missing the Sox game!

Best Red Sox Fan EVER!  Sox over Afghanistan, baby!

q and crew,

just an FYI. I was at baywalk 2 weeks ago for a 5k race and "Marino's" is closed it is now "Club 21" or something like that. They are many other great places to eat around there. Let me know if you want a suggestion.I probably will not make dinner but would like to meet the other BTer's for a swim/bike on Saturday. This is my 1st try at a tri. Man I am so funny!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHH!!!!   This is the second year in a row they've done this to me!!!!!!   Last year when I went to make the res at DISH, I found out it was closed...and now this!!  $&%^*#(#*$*&%^*(#()~!!!!!! 

Just checked and it's called GRILLE 121 now. 

OK, I'll try to find another alternative.  Any other suggestions will be appreciated as well.  Back to the drawing board.  Sheesh!!  I am DEFINITELY relinquishing this post for 2009...I hate getting hit over the head like this year after year.

We may want to be careful.  If rumor gets out BT has a gathering at your resturant and by the next year you are out of business, we could have a hard time finding places.

As for suggestions, I don't remember much around that area, so sorry.

OMG, ARE YOU EFFIN' KIDDING ME???!!!   This is sooo weird!!!   

well I couldn't find any place, I got tired of googling, but I did see this

http://www.saturdaymorningmarket.com/  which is pretty close to the area. 

I'm thinking seafood the night before a race might be chancy and bonefish is kind of pricey although they have excellent food.  Carrabas is a good choice tho.  They might let us order ahead witha  large group.  At Longhorn we did that at Buca DePeppos.  We just sat down and they served us.

yes! I went to the Museum today and took notes of the restaurant names as we drove through the area.

I googled some of them.  ONE stood out!

Sounds just like DISH but with an Asian theme?  It is even in the SAME location as Dish was!  Jeff, wanna give them a call and check it out? 

for those of you not racing, it turns into a nightclub at 10pm...

NO, the ST Pete Times Forum is actually in Tampa.  It's named after the newspaper. Weird yes we know.  I think the place you're thinking of is called Tropicana Field. 

The St Petersburg Pier is nearby (we swim next to it).  As well as the Florida International Museum.  Dali Museum.  and some big church I'm not sure....

I love this Banbu Grill idea.  Sounds like a plan to me!  I will give a call this week and see what they have available. 

If anyone is opposed to this idea, please let me know.  We can always do Carrabba's.  But I do love this "make your own dinner" idea, it's very versatile and everyone seemed to love it when we did it at DISH. 

I'll have more info this week as well as an updated list.  Thanks for the patience everyone.  We'll get this all worked out...we still have a month!
