Starting to think about our annual October GTG...

The holiday this year is oct 14, so I suspect the GTG will be Oct 11-13. While we often consider other dates, people seem to prefer this particular weekend.

I'd appreciate any suggestions and feedback which you might wish to offer as we begin to think about what to do this year??

Friday dinner??

Saturday GTG location and type of meal (we try to avoid a room charge)??

New saturday night dinner location or change of cuisine??

Suggestion for talking points for Saturday (i'll try not to screw it up this year)??


It's always so great to see people from years past, but even more fun to meet new folks..

REMEMBER BOSTON IS THE PREMIER FODORS GTG....

As always we will be there in spirit!!!

No lobster no go!

I'll be there, hopefully. I look forward to this trip every year. Thanks for the heads up re: the date. Nice to have this info early in the planning. I will understand, though, if that date changes to a week earlier. I can deal with that.

Hanuman, there is plenty of lobstah in Boston! Come on over!

pook---if you comr, we will have tons of fresh lobsters

s/b: come

Looking forward to it, lobsters and all...

Hmm... I wonder if we can manage this so close to our Japan trip.

I plan to be int eh states for three weeks around those dates so if there is a date change please post immediately.

Hmmm... Will keep this in mind. Would love to meet some of the folks who have given us such great advice.

As always, we will be there.

Maybe one event just north of Boston somewhere between routes 128 and 495?

Any interest in moving the GTG to Sat night dinner from Sat. afternoon lunch. The dinner at Similans is always such fun and with really, really good food. We've gone the last couple of years and have met some really lovely people.

First, Bob (and Karen) deserve a lot of credit & thanks for all of their efforts over the years in organizing this thing.

I think it would be a good thing if the main event were at a relatively central location that's easily accessible by public transportation. That would give people the most options for where to stay (for out-of-towners) and how to get there (for everyone).

we had thought that in the past don, but discovered no one came by public transportation... we will rethink it again however..

N of boston-- will keep that in mind too. we'd love to get a lobster venue of some kind...

finding a place on a sat. night without a huge room charge, and with some privacy, might prove difficult, but we will entertain it.
