MSI/Chili's fundraiser Poll

[mxrider]

Hey everyone. In an attempt to make sure the restaurant is properly staffed for both gun bill days, please take a moment to do this poll.

 

[dblas]

Voted, PM the 26th, and if it makes a difference since I couldn't pick two, PM on the 4th as well.

 

[Ifdot]

Location? Assuming Annapolis, but just making sure.

That is correct. Annapolis location only

 

[mxrider]

If you plan on attending both days, please list your second day here.

Thanks Dan

I'd like to be there at 2/26 near opening. I'm testifying and time constraints stress me out, lol.

Nothing better for stress than a late dinner after testifying and hopefully making Frosh cry.

 

[Clovis]

OK I'm going to sound dumb, what part of Annopolis? Walking distance of the State House?

 

[dogbone]

Chili's is at 2339 Forest Dr. It looks to be about 3-4 times as far from the State House as the stadium parking lot. Maybe doable if the weather is mild and you are in good shape. After a long day in the asylum and after dark with dropping temps, I'm planning to drive.

[mxrider]

It is not walkable

I voted for the 26th lunch, but plan on the 4th lunch also.

 

[mxrider]

So, in a reluctant manner, I have agreed to work the night of the 26th so feel free to ask for me (Bill). I normally only work weekends and they are afraid of being swamped and since I organized it, they felt the need to schedule me.

No rest for the wicked...are you going to donate a portion of your tips?? <kidding>

Was thinking it may be most strategic to plan on going after the hearings on the 26th.

The 4th session is surely going to run way too late for dinner there. With 30 bills on the docket, and a start time of 1 pm, even with a wild underestimate of 20 minutes per bill, would put it over at 11 pm (10 hrs); 30 mins per bill makes it 4 am (15 hrs). Gonna be a long day and the bill order during hearings is somewhat random. You can't really project what the times look like with those parameters.

Early lunch might work either day, sign up closes for testimony at 12:45... although I like to get parked, signed up then wander around on foot in Annapolis.

So who's in for an early lunch? Meet there at 11:00 to 11:30?

 

[DC-W]

Early lunch here if thomfanthomas is game.

 

[6pack]

I'm planning on being at Chili's at 11:30. If anyone else is going to be there let me know.

I should be there. I forgot to print the flyer at work though.

 

[Seagrave1963]

Will be there at 1100 hrs - barring a sick kid.

I would encourage getting there a little earlier to be safe. Signup for testifying ends at 12:45pm. If you are planning on signing up and then going for lunch great I have informed the general manager that people will likely be waiting for the doors to open as they will be on a very tight schedule.

I should be there. I forgot to print the flyer at work though.

Just mention that you are part of the MSI give back to your server and you should be good to go.

On a time saving note, if you are paying by credit card, you can do so right at the table. This will save you a couple trips that your server needs to make.
