Very good. Last week posted this place as a suggestion. Great pizza and very laid back. We'll be in.

Don't feel bad.  I declared a West lunch at MM a couple of months ago and nobody showed.  :'(

I think once folks try it out, it'll become a favorite.  ;)

I absolutely agree it will be a favorite with others. You got it Barn, I do need to use my graphic expertiese moreso in my posts. I'll work on that. We go there at least once a month. I can't wait. It seems spousal unit will not be able to attend though. We have I-Group (from our church) over on Thursday's now I found out today. But I'll be there with bells on my shoes for that pizza/beer thingy.

Zach thinks that it is unacceptable for Will to suggest anything for an outing that he will not be attending. Zach thiks that third person is only appropriate for Bob Dole.

As he sat at his workstation imagining what the day would bring, Will pondered Dan's question to Tommy and wondered if he should answer it himself. Secretly though, he thought it best to leave it to Tommy to answer as his reply would surely be more entertaining than anything he could come up with himself.

Will hopes his Ducatisti friends have an awesome time with whichever form of communication suits them and agrees that his suggestion holds no merit without being there as an advocate.

How exciting!!!

I just talked to the manager at Mellow Mushroom.  She was very accomodating.  We have a reservation for 20 hooligans on Thursday night, 6:30pm.

We will be on the patio.  Don't worry about the cold - they recently installed a $10K radiant heat gas heater system.

There is also live music on Thursday night.  I've never heard of either artist - but it should add to the atmosphere/experience.
James Nored opens from 6:30pm thru 9:00pm
James Hinkle is apprently the big attraction, and will play after James Nored is done.
(both of these guys have Myspace Music pages if you care to check them out)

The band/music will be set up on the patio - the opposite end from our tables - so we should have a good seat for the tunes!

FYI - I told her we'd be on separate tickets.  She says gratuity is automatically added for a party this large.  Just be aware.

Also, she's excited to have a motorcycle group come in.  She said they recently advertised for the first time in Backroads Magazine.  They're hoping to attract more motorcycle buiness.  Good for us!  Maybe they'll treat us extra-special!  :D

Okay, you guys are crazy!  Turning out in droves!

I've called MM and upped the reservations for 25 seats on the patio!  We're gonna drown out the live music.  [laugh]

As Ronr mentioned in another post, there's a Fireman Appreciation night going on as well.  It's a food drive.  I spoke with the assistant manager, and here's the deal for some free food.  If you bring in any 5 canned food items to donate to the Fireman food drive, you'll get a free order of pretzels.  And I'm not talking about the cruncy pretzel sticks you buy at the grocery store.  The pretzels at Mellow Mushroom are made from their dough, hot, and chewy - pretty darn good - I think they come in 2 or 3 varieties/flavors.

So... sample some free pretzels, while making a charitable donation!

One more thing (I know - too many words for some of you to read all of this...)

Parking at MM is "challenging".  I think their parking lot might accomodate a maximum of 15 cars.  Overflow parking is in the surrounding streets, neighborhoods, and businesses.  It's not very car-friendly parking.  However, if you are able to ride your scooter tonight, I recommend it.  I believe we should be able to park on the grass/sidewalk right in front of the patio.  Don't hold me to that.  but I do know that the smaller vehicle you use to get there, the eaiser it may be for you to find a place to park on the property.

This is going to be one heck of a dinner!  [beer]

- Jim

We will be on the patio.  Don't worry about the cold - they recently installed a $10K radiant heat gas heater system.

I am concerned about this wind blowing the radiant heat straight the f*uck out  :o

That was fun!  It was good to see everybody.  It was nice to meet ShiftSix!  I hope you make it out to more of the dinners and rides.  [thumbsup]

I heard a lot of positive comments about Mellow Mushroom.  I think it may be one to keep on the list for a future dinner?  The chilly weather and crowded conditions might have been enough to warrant some minor complaints, but I think the food and the company more than made up for that!

Where's the pics??!?  We didn't have our camera.  Relying on Aerogeek and Slag this time!

good to see everyone.  Thanks Jim for setting it up.  Thanks to the Easties for coming.  Special mention to those who came riding, Patrick in his SH!T HOT 999, Rich in the S4R and RonR on the trusty old CBR!  Other long trekkers on bikes would be Jason and his friend.  Nice to see Gwen too. 

Didn't mind losing the bet since it went to a pretty girl anyway.   ;D

I know it's early but HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all including those who were not able to make it.

It makes for a more tighter complete group when we all gather up and the two sides meet and eat. We need to bury the hachet more often like tonight and the Hard 8 meets. It's great to get to finally talk to some who I've not had the pleasure with. Glad to see the new riders come in. That's really making an effort on their part if you ask me.

The best outfit award tonight is awarded to Slag for the kilts. That just rocks dude.

CDC, have a safe and happy trip.

It was particularily nice to see the other spousal units come along too. You DO exist!

No hatchet for either side.

Bryant, you are so right dude, I was in the oven so to speak during the summer. I had been researching all year long on what to buy and a matter of fact YOU, T&B and Rich and Dukie Duke all helped me make the decision to jump in to a Duc. It was at the Bike Wash when you came roaring up on the 848 with the Termi's that I was talking with T&B bout the S4 and PS. I talked to you and Slag in fact breifly and then basically went over to Tony that day and picked out the bike I wanted. The rest as they say is history.

Now, you hit on a subject that is very near and dear to my heart, pool parties. My house is setup just right for parties in the backyard. I have been working on it over the years and have just about finished my jungle that surrounds the pool. I'm in the process of putting together my Blog and I will post some pics on it. Anyway, you can bet that that we will be having loads of parties this upcoming summer. I have a Tiki Tiki Bar usually surrounded with lots Tiki Tiki lamps that spew out citranella all day. Music is piped outside and I'm working on a refrideration device of unknown source as an addition this spring. It's all very tropical back there and really my only escape to the Islands I have. I'll post the blog soon. Next year is going to be kick ass!
