UPDATE Nutter Holiday Party - Philly - December

[nancyrose]

They're off having too much fun in Italy right now, Schmaff. Lucky kids!

[quote="sockii"]OK, on calendar checking I'm going to put in a partiality towards the 12th over the 5th...I may have a craft bazaar to work on the 5th, if my calendar is like it was last year and the date of that event doesn't change.[/quote]

Hey Schmaff, I suspect Sockii is preparing for that craft bazaar.

Hopefully the bazaar won't get too much in her way...or should I say WE won't get too much in her way?

[sect404]

Ooooh that's right, I forgot about Italy and the friendly skies with Vespa the Italian Stallion!

Hmmm. Mr. Dive and I found some change under the couch cushions and are looking into car ressies. This is still tentative, but....

The reservation is officially booked for the 5th. YAY! We are to arrive at 7pm and they will begin serving dinner at 7:30pm just as was done last year.

One item to note...I misspoke earlier...the $35 inclusive price does NOT include the gratuity.

Also, it will be a cash, pay-as-you-go bar like last year.

I will need entree selection by Nov. 30 and a final reservation count by Dec. 1st. I'll post a more detailed menu selection in the near future.

And thanks to Michael for the Radisson Travelzoo info...if the poor hotel staff only knew what is going to descend upon them that weekend....

Have a great weekend everyone.

Wooo! I finally get to meet him.

Thanks a bunch Laurie!

nothing to see here...

"Ummmm....sockii? Vespa? People who actually LIVE in Phillly??

Just back from Italy, hence late update. As far as I know we should be able to swing it. Don't know if I'll have that bazaar to deal with during the day or not as I've got a pile of mail to deal with an no energy to do so yet...

BTW, it does look like I'll be at the Craft Bazaar during the day, but it finishes up at 4pm. So no problem meeting up with folks later, and in fact, anyone who wants to convene at my place around 5ish for some pre-dinner drinks will be welcome (you can also stop by the Bazaar, which is at the Philadelphia Senior Center on 509 South Broad Street. It's a cute event and they have some great raffle drawings during the day - last year I won box seats for a 76ers game...)

I guess I just have to wait for the photo's....
Have fun!

[Chatchka]

I think we need a text mule.

There will be video with you all playing the kazoos?

[sockii]

Though one possibility for entertainment on the 5th...Philly ska band Ruder Than You is playing at the Khyber:

How can you resist a band that plays a "Yo Ho Down"?

If this becomes the date,
I heartily endorse this entertainment selection.
Ruder Than You are quite fun.
I would love to try to do this.

Hey, do we have any consensus on planning on Ruder Than You @ The Khyber for after-dinner entertainment ('cause I've checked out some more of their stuff and it ROCKS and sounds totally Nutter-party-worthy.) I'm not sure if we should plan on getting tickets in advance if so.

Also, if that's going to be the after-dinner plan, I might offer my place up for Sunday/hangover/post-party/brunch hanging out (instead of late Saturday night boozing, a la last year) for those still in the area.

Sockii--
Hey I surely <3 ska, usually mostly first and second wave, but they hail from Penn State and I'd love to give em an ear!

Also: are you by chance bringing out your jewelry to the craft fair?
