Sorry Tom, the actual expression is not downunder, but upover. The original
globe was designed upside down accidently! Maps have carried this error thru.

Just for info, we would have enough problems getting the 'UPOVER' people
to-gether.

We have quite a few ami users in Sydney, a couple in Canberra (about 3 hrs drive
from Sydney) Some in Perth (about 2-3 days drive), in Adelaide (about 12 hrs drive)
and of course our friend in New Zealand (Loved the Fish doco btw) and you will
find it difficult driving to New Zealand (about 4 hours flying).

Stan

    Stan is right about the world being designed/mapped upside down...
    
    How else do you explain that NZ is the first country in the world
    to see a new day and is al least 17 hours ahead of our northern
    hemisphere counterparts...;^)
    
    Very sorry - but I will be unable to attend (in body - I'll be there
    in spirit-Preferably a Glass of Jack Daniel's Finest...;^)
    
    Cheers
    
    Phil

    Stan - nearly got it right for the upover locations- Mike's in
    Adelaide, I recently shifted back to Melbourne.
    
    I will (regrettably) have to have someone submit my apologies for not
    attending :-} (Steve??).

    Gee -- if it was on a weekend instead, I could go. Can't really
    make a trek from Connecticut otherwise. Any possibility of a weekend
    in the future?

    
    I for one will look forward to this gathering.  I imagine that I can
    bring along a significant NKS contingent of a good half-dozen other
    Amiga folks.
    
    Ed.

    
    I'll be there..
    
    
    	Steve Peters
    	NKS 500
    

    I'll be there too..

    LKG Littleton (about a 1/2 hour away depending on speed traps)

	I think they mean  "downside up"  (-:

    Oh boy, my two favorite subjects, AMIGA and EATING. Count me in!

    Obviously not in that order.
    
    Ed.
    

I'll be there.

Maybe we better rent the place!

John

    That sounds great.  Sign me up too.  Now about that door prize.......

     Well folks, We've had a good response. Currently there are 12 signed up
     to go.  I made the reservation. They know us as being the AMIGA group
     from DEC with reservation made by Tom Moore. Any of those words should
     get you in.  They asked us to come at 11:45 which is when the buffet
     opens.

     Please let me know if others are coming so I can update the head count
     Thursday morning at 10:00. Ed, I don't have 6 names from NKS yet.
     Please let me know if NKS is going to have a full contingent.

     By the way - There are several people that have conflicts and it looks
     like a good idea to do this every so often.

          Thanks for the response!
		-Tom-

    Could you post directions for those of us not from Marlboro Country.
    
    Thanks
    Roger
          

    I'll be there.
    Tom

		I can make it.

				Jim

    I mentioned it in another note, but I'm planning on attending.
    Any other folks from the LKG (general Littleton) area want to car
    pool?  Send me mail.
    
    -Steve

    Yes, let's hold one every so often. Maybe make it a dinner or a
    weekend event once in a while.

    
    How about it, NKS people, are you going or not?  I haven't heard from
    Paul Goguen or Sam Skraly or Dave Busch...
    
    Ed.

	Who, me? Miss Chinese food? Are you kidding? I'll be there with 
	my 1 mbead, 100 milliflops abacus.

The following reply is a DDIF map to the Royal Mandarin.

If you're using DECwindows notes, you should see it on screen.

Otherwise, copy WJG::AMIGA:ROYAL.SIX

and print it on an ln03 (or any sixel capable printer).

John

I enlarged the SIXEL map in .-1.

It's at WJG::AMIGA:ROYAL.SIX

John

    You can count me in too.  I hope it's not too late to 'sign up'.
    
    Steve
    
    

    Please add me to your list.

    Here is the current list of confirmed attendees. (I had better not
    forget to add myself in) It looks like 22 including myself. I'll give
    them a call at  10:00 to confirm the number. Thanks for the response and
    thanks to John for the map.

    re:.28
    
    make that 23 (not counting yourself).  I thought I sent you mail,
    but things have been "interesting" around here lately, so maybe
    I only got as far as planning to send you mail :-)
    
    They do have big rooms in the back of the RM, but they also seem
    to have lots of going away parties, so it is a very good idea to
    get there early.
    
    Tom, you may have started a new marketing trick for selling Amigas.
    Think of the last time you went into a fancy restaurant and heard
    someone talking about how wonderful the Amiga was.  Now imagine
    being trapp.., er make that seated, next to over 20 Amiga fans :)
    
    -Dave

    
    Tom:
    
    Please add at least three more seats for folks who will most likely
    come but have been too busy to reply.
    
    Ed.

    Does anyone need a ride from the Mill?  My car's a mess, but if you
    don't mind that....
    
    Steve
    

Count me in, sorry for the late reply

...Ed

     And me too!
     Dave  

     I just made the update to the count and made the reservation at 27! 
     With .-1 I have confirmed reservations of 26. I assume there will be
     some form of common check. The buffet will be $7.00 ($5.99 +1.01 tip).
     Drinks Start at $2.00 for beer and go up to $4.00. Please throw in
     $2.50 for each drink and more if it's something fancy. Checks will be
     by table. Thanks for coming.

So, how was lunch?

    
    The luncheon went very well.  I only wish that we had more time to
    spend meeting people on an individual basis.
    
    I also wish that my two favorite Randy's (Myers and Dearborn) had been
    able to attend.
    
    Ed.

< So, how was lunch?

     I thought you'd never ask. They had all my favorites and it was all you
     could eat. With the rainy weather, we almost had the place to
     ourselves. At one point I had everyone introduce themselves. Nobody
     volenteered to to arange the next one. It's not something I would want
     to do every week or every month. If somebody else doesn't schedule one,
     I guess I will. This type of lunch social suits my needs. If someone
     else has an idea about an evening or weekend event, please set it up.

     I thought we had a great turnout. It seems to me that this notes file
     is like our club meeting and this lunch was just a social.

     Thanks to everyone that showed up!

     -Tom-

yeh, thanks Tom. If no one else voluanteers to do another one, 
please do!! :-)

Seriously, it's kinda overwhelming trying to meet 27 people in an hour
over lunch.

John

I got back from vacation the day of the lunch.  In fact I read 
the invitation note five minutes after lunch began.

I would like to have been there.

Ed, you really know how to flatter me...  You could have filled 
me in on Dale's dead Fuego.
