	I'm a scratch. There's some pheasant and partridge that need to be shot that weekend.

	What's our status on the Coliseum Bar (lunch) and Gray's (dinner)? Since I've not heard anything in a while, I thought I'd stir the pot a bit. dd

Since I've not heard anything in a while, I thought I'd stir the pot a bit. dd As of early this week our group has been offered a room at Gray's Tied House for the Satuday evening of the Copia weekend, March 10. We have been offered an upgrade from previous years that may provide less noise. We will not be competing with a St. Patrick's day celebration at Gray's that weekend however, there will still be a band starting at 9pm. The cost of the room even with the upgrade will still be $75 and I've been told that this year prime rib will be available on the menu. I have not heard of significant alternatives to or complaints about Gray's so at this point I am inclined to secure the reservation and will do so by week's end unless someone else wants to take over this responsibility. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) As for lunch on Saturday: a decision will have to be made about whether the group wants to return to the Coliseum Bar (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) or return to the Badger Bowl (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) There were advantages to both places. Mulelars handled the arrangements last year after the Badger Bowl became unavailable and I suspect he may want to weigh in here.

	That's for handling the Gray's reservation, KF! I'll be happy to line up lunch again. I'll check with Badger Bowl and see if it's available this year. I thought the Coliseum worked fine, but that little room in the back of the Badger Bowl is pretty nice, if it's quiet. I'm good for either, and will check on both. You guys weigh in on which you prefer, and I'll lock it down. (And I'll report back to let you know if Badger Bowl is even available this year.) And as I said earlier, I'm happy to host an informal gathering again for those of you who venture down here on Friday. Either that, or we can hunt down some good single malts--I know some good spots

	I will be in town Friday night so if people are going to gather some place I would most likely attend. What you set up last year was great but if you would prefer name a place and that will work. I prefer the Badger Bowl but either place works well. Thanks to MuleLars and Kingfisher. MagicPaddler

	Here's the the update on lunch. I checked out the Badger Bowl, and they are indeed again hosting the state bowling tournament, including 'copia weekend. Kurt was very nice, but if we want to guarantee the back room, there's a fee. Plus it'll be busy. And further plus, they serve only off of their "special events" menu, that included about 10 choices. (And Kurt let me know that their hosting of state is going to continue for at least 4 more years...) So I went over and booked the Coliseum Bar. I set it up for noon, in that same space we were in last year. I gave him a count of 25, which I think pretty much covered it last year, so we should be in good shape. If there is a huge goundswell to book the Badger Bowl and pay the room fee, I told Kurt I'd call him. But I suggest we stick with the Coliseum. As for Friday night, I will stick with hosting a gathering. I really enjoyed the group and the conversation, so I'm very happy to host again. I'll provide beverages (although if DD was willing to hide a small dram from Oban in his travel bag... ). I think we started at 7:00 last year, so let's stick with that. Anyone who is going to be here Friday night is most welcome. If you're interested, PM me, and I'll give you my address, rather than give db a heart attack by posting my address for the world to see Flamingoes will again point the way! Looking forward to seeing everyone and catching on on everybody's 2012 trip plans!
