Mego Meet 2012

[megojim]

My daughter's dance school is threatening to have the recital on Saturday this year. If that's the case, this will be the first meet i miss.

It will also be the first time I throw a brick through a living room picture window, take that Ms. Janet!

All I will say at this point is that YOU (in particlar) need to be there this year.
More to follow as we get closer to the Meet . . .

I am so looking forward to this show this year!

I am already psyched for the show. This year I will have a lot more time to shoot the crap and drool over your customs.

^^ Brian. When I read this post I get the same sinking feeling in my stomach I experience when my wife says "I wanna start looking at new cars". That's typically code for "we're buying a new car".

I hope the recital gets moved.

Once we have registration up you can reserve a table as part of the process.

Oh and I suppose being a MM noob this is as good a time to ask as any - how does the table rental situation work?

... not to derail a conversation about unforgivable service. (Coming from restaurant, I'm sorry - you put food on my table from someone else's leftovers? Nah-uh. We're Done. Never going back and alerting the health board.)

I missed our Mego Meet 4 times in 4 years...... due my Truck has a major restoration!

I'll try to starting saving money till that month and date, I will let everyone know when I can make it.

We also need to start warning Hoss' from now on considering our ever-growing numbers. It was no big deal to just show-up with 7 people, but now that we are pushing well over 20 on Thursday evening they need to be able to plan to have the instant pudding ready.

I was thinking that same thing as I was typing the earlier post. Thursday has grown considerably in the past years.

Chris Johnson and I are starting to put things together now. I expect that we'll have something to say very soon about the 'To Undo or not to Undo' dilemma.

I've never been to Hoss's (we don't get there early enough on Thursday night). So I wouldn't mind giving them a shot. It won't break my heart if we do not go back to Undos. Last year was totally uncalled for.

[megocrazy]

if we go back this year, we should spell out our expectations in advance.

I think a constructive conversation with management will go a long way...it's not like we are a rowdy group.

I think something was already said. It was always like it was an inconvenience to serve us. That was always the biggest issue to me. If they were nice, I could get by the fact that they don't seem to have a clue. I think they pull bar help to assist with the big party and that PO's them. I've had friendly waitresses who were horrible. Not everyone is cut out for that job but do it because they have to. I can always accept that. But not being rude on top of it.

I have no issues if we go to Hoss's twice myself. They have always been courteous, and we don't even make plans with them, we just show up. I think we were close to 20 this year. The price is better and the food is good. Plus they have the ice cream bar for the kids. The salad bar is pretty good too. Most of the early arrivals are solo so we don't often have as many young ones on Thursday night. If they gave us the room they usually do there could probably be a separate kids table on the side.

Does anyone know what happened with the Saturday night Dinner? Is Undo's out of the picture because of their bad service? Are we moving Saturday night to Hosses?

dunno...never heard how it ended with Chris calling em up.

I like their food.
i like the environment.
I love the company

But that service was terrible.
Wasn't it Ed and Lil Ed who got leftover bread from another table served to them? Didn't Dave Lee get leftover salad off someone's table?

Plus, the staff frowning down on us like we were some huge inconvenience didn't help matters.

if we go back this year, we should spell out our expectations in advance.
