1003.0. "Dinner for David from Down Under: Monday 9/9" by HANCOK::HANCOK::D_CARROLL (A woman full of fire) Tue Aug 27 1991 11:56

    
    
    Alright, I promised I would arrange a get-together for David Wales
    during his short time out here.  I've finally come up with Monday, Sept
    9, as a date.  I haven't verified this with him, yet, as he is
    currently off-net and unreachable.  Assuming it *is* okay...
    
    Let's get together for dinner at May Ling in Maynard at 6:30 on Monday
    evening (9/9/91...what a neat number).  
    
    Write me or post here if you intend to come, so I can call them with a
    rough headcount.  I'm going on vacation starting tomorrow, so I'd
    somewhat prefer if you posted here, rather than sending me mail,
    because I won't be here to answer it.  But whatever, no big deal.
    
    Alternately, if you have better suggestions (yeah, I know, everyone's
    bored of May Ling) feel free to bring it up.  (I chose May Ling because
    David is staying in Maynard so it's convenient, and we generall get a
    back room all to ourselves so it makes socialization easier.)

    D! if you'e bored with May Ling, why not try Ciro's...where Grille 62
    and numerous other failed maynard restaurants used to be...the
    atmosphere is significantly less gloomy (or is it just me?)

    I'll be there.  Wondering if we could gather a little earlier though.
    I work at the Mill and I don't want to hang around till 6:30 and there
    is not enough time to go home and come back.  OR if there are any
    friend's of Bill W.'s let me know off line and maybe we could meet
    while waiting for the rest of the gang.

    I just got back from vacation and I'm REALLYREALLYREALLYREALLY busy so
    plans for this are just as they stand unless someone else takes over
    organizing, which you are welcome to.  You don't even have to write me,
    just put a note in here.  If you want it at Ciro's, call them and find
    out if they can house it, and let us all know.  Or whatever.
    
    D!
1003.20MILPND::PIMENTELFri Sep 06 1991 16:053
    So it's on at May-lings at 6:30?  I just logged on today or I would
    have called Ciro's.
    
1003.22Why did I think David's wife's name is Ivy?CARTUN::NOONANYES! DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES?!Fri Sep 06 1991 16:417
    Well, Joyce, as I said before, I will be there.  I think people just
    got confused about the two parties.  Then of course, a lot of people
    were on vacation.
    
    But I will be there will bells on and the album in my hands!

1003.25we're *on*TLE::TLE::D_CARROLLA woman full of fireMon Sep 09 1991 11:2511
    For anyone who is confused, *yes* this is still going on, *yes* we are
    still meeting at May Ling tonight at 6:30, and *yes* you should let me
    know you are coming so I can make reasonably accurate reservations.
    
    I'll post directions later.  Or, better yet, does anyone know where
    directions are that were posted previously?  I'm sure someone has
    already written these up and I hate duplicating efforts.
    
    See ya tonight!

Directions (thanks to Justine Sullivan!)

    (I know there's a set of directions with a character-cell graphic
     in it but I couldn't find it in my cursory glance - can anyone else?)
    
*********************************************************************************

Directions to May Ling:

1. From Route 495, take Route 2 East to Route 27.

2. At the end of the Route 27 ramp, turn right, heading towards Maynard.

3.  You'll cross Route 111, and you'll travel through Acton and eventually 
    come to Maynard.  Follow 27 to a large intersection with a Police station
    on the right and a gas station and a MacDonald's across the intersection. 

4. Turn left at the intersection, and go to the next traffic light
  (landmarks: photo studio, gas station, auto upholstery,
   also, corner of Route 62 and 27).
  (Route 62 turns left and Route 27 turns right at this point).

5. Go forward through the intersection, and proceed up the hill.

6. May Ling is on the right (white building, green trim).

	Parking is just beyond the restaurant or across the street.

    no, I only had time to do a cursory check.
    
    I'm still recovering from yelling about pewter all weekend and
    resisting the urge to go play with the lion, the tigers, and the
    cougar ;).

1003.29Should we come ...... yeah, suppose soLRCSNL::WALESDavid from Down-underMon Sep 09 1991 14:0613
    G'Day,
    
    	I'll (we'll) be there :-).  I am in the Mill at the moment.  Had
    lunch with an Aussie that moved over here - haven't died yet!
    
    	Looks like we should have quite a gathering.  I am looking forward
    to meeting you all.  See you tonight!  I probably won't see any replies
    to this until I get back to Oz now so if you want to say anything you'll
    have to say it tonight.
    
    David.

    BTW, the reservations are in my name. If you want to come early, I'll
    probably be there at the bar or something.  (I'm such a lush...)
    
    D!

1003.32Dinner tonight - Wayside InnGIAMEM::JLAMOTTEJoin the AMC and 'Take a Hike'Tue Sep 10 1991 09:045
    I could not make the dinner last night so I am meeting David and Liz
    for dinner tonight at the Wayside Inn.  If you could not make it last
    night or if you want to go out again tonight, let me know!

Have a great time!

    Poor Ivy, I keep calling her Liz....
    
    Memory is the first to go...
    
    Or maybe I am in a state of confusion!
    
    ;-)
    
    Sorry Liz!
1003.35Hugs to Down UnderLJOHUB::GONZALEZIn a Sirius moodTue Sep 10 1991 14:3311
    The dinner Monday was lots of fun.
    
    I loved meeting David and Ivy.  They seemed a bit awed by the crowd but
    did quite well  :^)   Ivy wondered how we get anything done, we spend
    so much time hugging!  
    
    Both have a lovely sense of humor.  I wish they lived closer,  both
    would be nice additions to the GMA =wn= community.  But on the other
    hand, Australia sounds like a nice place to live, despite the prices.

1003.36Tonight....GIAMEM::JLAMOTTEJoin the AMC and &#039;Take a Hike&#039;Tue Sep 10 1991 15:0011
    Don't forget tonight at the Wayside Inn...I need someone to tell the
    history of the area...I will probably get it all mixed up!  ;-)
    
    I will take pictures of David and Ivy by the Grist Mill for the album.
    
    Dan Deramo promised to join us also...will take his picture also.
    
    How many hugs will I get from E Grace for pictures at the most
    photographed location in the area?

1003.37CUPMK::CASSINThe only way out is throughTue Sep 10 1991 15:156
    Okay, so I wasn't there last night, but...  I met a =wn= at lunchtime
    today, and when I opened my fortune cookie it read:
    
       "You have an unusual equipment for success, use it properly"
                                                     
    We added the two words, and had a good laugh!!   :-)

    	I wish I could have joined you all for dinner, but I couldn't 
    figure out a way to get to Maynard for 6:00 and get back here to 
    Westfield for 10:30 to go to work!  :-)  (That's 10:30 at night, 
    folks!)

1003.41The wayward travellers returnLRCSNL::WALESDavid from Down-underMon Sep 16 1991 08:2923
    G'Day,
    
    	This is my first note since returning to Oz.  I had 5.5k unseen notes
    in =wn= alone so I'm going to be busy and will unfortunately have to
    make pretty heavy use of the next-unseen key.
    
    	We had a great time at the dinner and again with Joyce and Dan on
    Tuesday night.  Sorry that we could not chat with everybody but time
    was limited and I could have easily talked with some of you all night.
    
    	Actually meeting all these people that have previously only been
    nodename::usernames' is really quite incredible.  The other side of the
    world actually exists!
    
    	Thanks to the organisers and all who attended.  I can't see us
    making it back to the states for some time so hopefully we'll see some
    of you down here.
    
    	Beter get back to the reading.  Can't stay up too late tonight as I
    return to work tomorrow.
    
    David.
