In, w/date. This is why i don't have children. Will you do dog-sitting?

Sounds fair to me.

The Ardens and Maddens are such great people to work with! We really hope the idea catches on, because since I have lived here, I've always heard people comment about adults needing more to do, away from the students, and I'm excited to help start something.

ouch, trying to keep students away? some students including myself would love to do this, unfortunately $50 is to much for this poor college student.

sounds like a great idea.

$50 sounds fair for that evening!

Hang on... That's not how I meant it. I'm gladly inviting students. I just think that the adults aren't catered to enough locally. Fair enough? I think there are PLENTY of activities for students here, and if you all, as students, stay here after graduation, you will understand my words.

Please don't de-rail.... Email me at squareonebryantx@gmail.com, if you want to discuss it further.

Count me plus 3 more people!

OMG! Something for grown ups! THE HORROR! "Students" have 864 other options, and I'm sure are invited to this, as well.

And judging from past events that many restaurants already put on, $50/person is a steal.

still not feeling the love

For OverR only(Free Bacon Dbl CheeseBurger>>>Love)?

hmm.. i could get used to this affair.

At that price we're definitely in. Just give us a date and time and don't make it June 25-27 since I'll be taking my Girl Scouts camping.

We would love to give it a try!!! May need to offer a couple different dates with as many people that have responded and are interested!!!!

Sign us up! Neighbors as well!

That sounds great to me! I might actually get to go see what all of the downtown places have to offer.

How about a Singles night?

Sounds like fun! Hope it fits our schedule.

Gig'Em & God Bless

This sounds great. I do agree you might want a couple of dates. Have an amount set for "selling out". You don't want it to get too crowded.

Good points about the multiple dates.

Fleen, do I need to start a "get Fleen a date" thread? Just on this thread then..

Any single lady between 28-40 that wants an awesome single guy, that loves kids, email me @ squareonebryantx@gmail.com, and I'll hook you up with Fleen.

Speaking of singles, I think this progressive dinner could be a fun event for singles. I am not sure how big of a pool there would be, but maybe with some good publicity it could work.

I'm not familiar with exactly where these restaurants are. If they are not all on the same street, maybe arrange some type of shuttle between the 3 stops.

It might also be worth seeing if any of the local cabs will be willing to offer a deal (pre-purchase cab fare along with the dinner, at a reasonable set price within x number of miles) since you will potentially be getting people over the legal limit (think you said at least 3 glasses, and at least for us lightweights, that could be problematic; don't want to contribute towards DWI's).

Threecat, they are perfect walking distance from one another. It would be a nice break between courses. No need for cabs between stops.

Good that they are walking distance.

Might be worth checking with cabs about being part of a package deal to get people home (well, I guess it would need to be to the first restaurant and home at the end).

I know if I had that much wine, I'd be over the limit. To not encourage DWI and not have to have a designated driver, some kind of discount from a cab company might be nice.

Another option would be to have something to go with this that's for designated drivers for a cheaper price, maybe tea / lemonade / soda or anything nonalcoholic those placed are proud of and think would go with the food. If the alcohol version of this dinner, charge somewhere between $25 and $40 for the nonalcoholic (designated driver) version, price depending on if it's just tea / Coke or if it's something fancier / pricier like a milkshake.

Well that is where the students can come into the picture. People can just call Carpool.

JK, I think your point is valid. If there is wine at each course AND a flight at dessert, people could be over the .08 limit and not necessarily realize it. That's no fun.

Carpool for the win! But its summer so its not running. I may have to just use a cab. I would imagine ill be getting hammered.

and +1 for a singles night.

+1 for single night,
and here's to being a professional and being able to hold ones liquor without needing a ride.

Well, there's holding your liquor and then there's the cops' opinions based on blood alcohol level. I was looking on one of those blood alcohol calculators and it looked like you'd be over with that amount of mine I'd you weigh 150 or less (at least for women; they had something to check male or female, and I guess it figures it differently accordingly).

Back to the original question though, I think my parents, sister, and brother-in-law would think that was a great idea if they were in town visiting. I'm not much of a wine person myself.

Sorry, can't edit and apparently can't type.

Previous post should say "that amount of wine"

(hit the wrong key)

Stupid text feature also "helpfully" corrected / completed "I'd" which was supposed to be "if".

Hello CharlieMac, Chef Rizzo at Tampico Del Barrio. If at some point you would like to do a another progressive dinner, we would love to be part of it, either app, dessert or main. We offer 9 different flavors of artisian cheesecakes made in house with 9 different flavored sauces. We would love the opportunity to add a little Nuevo Latino twist.

Thanks

Chef Rinaldo Anthony

Chef, it would be an honor to work with great chefs, such as the new Tampico owners. We may drop in for breakfast in the morning... **** it's morning. Then soon.

That sounds awesome! Me and the misses are in!

Please email me at squareonebryantx@gmail.com, if you would like to be on our email list, as we take the next step in planning.
