FUN IN PHILADEPHIA - MEETUPS ON 30TH APRIL/1ST MAY
-
I reconnoitered Frankford Hall on Saturday at around 6 PM, and it was crazy busy. There was a line out the door of people waiting to get in. I'd say if it's easy enough to reserve a table it'll be fine - maybe a little loud, not so easy to get a shuffleboard court or whatever - but without a reservation it might not be a great venue.

Just curious, what time were you trying to get in?
-
If you mean me, right at 6 PM. I was on my way somewhere and didn't bother trying to get in. It's possible that there was an event there or a large party taking up much of the venue. FWIW, it appeared to be much less busy when I walked past on Sunday around the same time. Still busy, but not packed, and no line waiting to get in.

@Fadez - that's super news! All, I did email Frankford Hall but they never got back to me, I'll give them a call later today to find out if it's possible to reserve some space. Was thinking we'd start there around 6pm (although G and I will probably get there a bit earlier), will post once I have more news.

thanks @Madame Buttonfly sounds good to me though I will likely be there nearer 1pm as I have to watch the Leicester game before I leave NY!
-
@Madame Buttonfly unfortunately, I won't be able to make it. I've been working in North Dakota and am going straight to Indiana. I'm sorry.

@babyknight that's perfectly understandable! Your seat will be waiting for you, can't wait to see you again

@Filthy25ozJunkie - that's a real shame, but we always knew it was a long shot
-
I'm there @Madame Buttonfly

Thanks @Madame Buttonfly !
Count my wife and I in for Saturday night. Maybe with the little man…a little crazy there though so we may find a babysitter. No need for anything special for him there regardless. Also good for Sunday. My wife, myself, and the little man. Thanks for requesting a high chair. May not stay extra long depending on his mood!
Looking forward to it!

Little late to the forum party, but I was really hoping to meet the crew and some people in the Philly area (born and raised and now live outside in the burbs). I am having sinus surgery on Friday, but hope to be well enough by Sunday for brunch. Think I could leave a slot open for now?
-
I will be coming, most likely by myself.

Paula,We're not goin to be able to make brunch. Going to take the opportunity to visit some old friends in the area.–Jett
@Jett129 - no problem at all, we're delighted we'll be getting to see you again on Saturday. We should make a call on the chinese lantern festival, I'd love to go, shall I book some tickets?
