Ditto that.

We're gonna need a dinner outing soon, once we get NYE out of the way. Thoughts on where and when?

How about Carrabbas? Preferrably the one in Reston. Following our past history of the third Thursday that would be the 19th.

Carrabbas works for me; however, there are a few other restaurants close by that work too. Sounds like fun!

Okay, I'm easy (regardless of what a certain C4 driver thinks!) so how about the Macaroni Grill in the Reston Town Center?

Hey guys. I dont know my way around very well, but anytime there is some sort of gathering, I would love to make it. Most people on Belvoir with Corvettes wont talk to me because I'm "too young". So if you wouldnt mind a youngster comin along with you all, id love to try and make it sometime. Thanks!

Just keep an eye on this section for threads with NOVA in the title. Usually we do something about once a month. Don't worry about your age. I think we have a younger group in NOVA. If not in body in spirit.

I'm here

Busy month... Trying to catch up on a ton of stuff right now, pick a place & a date & time and I will see what I can do
Carrabas was good when we went - Not a big fan of Maccaroni Grill, can't stand Glory Days - Simply too noisy

...still think the Buffalo Wing Factory after a few laps of Go Carts at ALLSPORT GP would be ideal, but whatever is decided, I will try to coordinate, cooperate, and consume

IMHO I think most chain restaurants suck anyway, I just go for the company

My only point was that we had already done Carabbas and there are many more restaurants out there we have not had events at.

In any event, we need to agree on a place and time here...

PS-I'll be skipping the BWF event as I hate hot wings...have fun without me.

...they have steak & cheese sandwiches, burgers & fries, chicken sandwiches (about 30 different kinds)

More than just wings...

But the choice isn't mine - whoever started this and is hosting, pick the place already

I don't think anyone is hosting in particular, just was a discussion that snowballed in Crispy's NYE thread

I can certainly start a separate thread once the details are worked out, since our usual -=-=-=-=NOVA Next Event=-=-=-=- person is MIA, but so far we have scattered opinions. Lowcash can't do anything past mid-Jan, GentleBen wants to follow our 3rd Thurs. format, and we have a bunch of different places suggested for dinner; among the suggestions are Carrabbas, Mac Grill, Glory Days, and Buffalo Wing Factory

I'm looking forward to getting together with fellow vette brothers and sisters for a bite to eat and drink. Anytime after next week (late January) works for me - especially on a Friday. All the restaurant choices listed above sound good to me. Mike
