Suggestion Oct 18, 2005

Since no one has proposed a specific location yet, I wonder if an Ethiopian restaurant (Ethiopian Diamond) in Edgewater would be convenient/satisfactory/appealing... (especialy since most of us are on the north side). It's easily accessible by public transportation. The address is 6120 N. Broadway. This is just a suggestion. If anyone has other ideas, please let them be known!

Ethiopian Diamond Oct 19, 2005

Andrea, I know the place, it's a wonderful setting and I believe we could reserve a round table?

Ethiopian Diamond Oct 19, 2005

Great! Maybe we can try reserving a table early next week when we have a better idea of how many will be able to attend...

head count Oct 24, 2005

So far we have 5 confirmed and 8 tentative. May I suggest a definite answer by Thursday so we may reserve a table?

Also, how does meeting around 6:30 pm work for everyone?

Can't make it after all Oct 24, 2005

Hi,

I can't make it on the 29th because of a friend's birthday, but would love to meet some other time. Since there are a few of us (several in Evanston alone) - what do you think of a once-a-month afternoon meeting at a cafe or something. I would love to get out of my home office more. Maybe you can take an informal poll at the dinner and let me know if there is interest.

Sorry to miss it!
Cheers,
Daina

Reservation, etc. Oct 24, 2005

6:30 is good for me too. I just reserved a table for an indefinite number of people (~10), but I'd like to let them know by Thursday or Friday how many of us will actually be there. If 6:30 is NOT good for anyone who is planning to come, let me know so we can change the time... Thanks!

Daina, I think what you suggest is a great idea.

monthly gathering Oct 24, 2005

I would also be interested in this idea, Daina. An Evanston location would be fine, or anywhere accessible by public transportation.

Thanks for taking care of the reservations, Andrea. Is anyone else planning to bring a camera? I am not sure how well mine is working, these days...

Time/Monthly Gathering Oct 27, 2005

6:30 is good for me. I would also be interested in Daina's idea of a monthly gathering. An Evanston location is fine with me.
