MINI2

Mike & Donna in Ca. · Jan 3rd, 2003, 12:23 PM

Morning Everybody!

There have been some discussions in various places about getting together for a meet & greet lunch. It sounds like everybody is getting cabin fever already - and we still have a few more months to go with this COLD weather!!

So......On Saturday January 25th, at 1:00 pm, we have made reservations at the Tortilla Factory (Mexican Food) in Herndon, VA. Here is the URL to their website which has their address and directions - www.thetortillafactory.com. I know for some of you, this is pretty far to travel just for lunch, so come if you can! The food is great, very reasonably priced, and the service is wonderful. Hard to find in this day and age..............

Please email us at home at kaz@tidalwave.net to RSVP if you are coming as we need to let the restaurant know how many people will be attending. We need to have a firm headcount no later than January 20th.

Hope to see ya there - even if you don't have your MINI yet!

Donna & Mike

Cool - it will be great to see you two and everybody else

Like you guys, we have been going there forever and a day, since 1981 so the owners know us pretty well. They are 2 great guys for sure

Most of the wait staff just brings our drink and food because we get the same thing each time we go - it's pretty cool

We may not have our car back - but that's okay - we're not going to let that stop us from having fun with all the wonderful friends we've made...

Count me in for two. I'm about 90% sure that I can come, but there's still a slight question about it... I'm looking forward to meeting all of you finally!

I have a bad habit of not reading those yahoo emails that I get. Too long because people dont trim down their replys and leave LOOONg original messages in them. "So many people" meaning like 10, 20, 30? This could be daunting for a boy like myself.

Hiya!

We have close to 40 people so far - wowee - so cool for getting together for lunch and no drive

Stephen drives a Silk Green MINI. He's not a big boy so I don't think he's the one you are thinking about. I think you are talking about Joel. Stephen is probably early 30's, talks very fast, single guy.....ask the managers Ron or Chuck next time you go in if it's before our lunch

I thought that you were saving a seat for meeeeeeeeeee

Sorta dumb question on my part...but where exactly in Reston is this place? I *think* I know, but I just want to make sure.

Mike & Donna in Ca. · Jan 15th, 2003, 09:44 PM

Grinder,

It's actually in Herndon - old town part. Across the street from where the Black Eye'd Pea Restaurant used to be and across from Anita's. Know where that is?

MoonPie · Jan 16th, 2003, 12:09 PM
