The October dinner saw us explore a new venue last night by way of the Fredericton Playhouse. No one showed up at Mingler's (zero, zip, nothing, nada, rien) leaving Dianne and I to dine alone before heading to the Playhouse for the show (Bee Gees tribute band....Wow!) where we met another couple of FABACians, doubling the count. During the intermission we held an impromptu meeting and decided that:
- Next month's dinner will again be at Mingler's. The food is excellent with generous portions. Service was quick and prices were VERY reasonable. There's also tons of (free) parking right outside.
- The holiday party will be at the Fredericton Inn. We won't ask for the buffet since we can't count on sufficient numbers. The date will be announced soon~ish.
- The idea of having the holiday part at King's Landing is a no-go because dinners are ONLY on certain dates, you can have any meal you want as long as you ONLY want turkey and the traditional fixings, and the price is a wallet-choking one hundred bucks PER PERSON. Ya, I laughed at this too.
- The annual Octoberfest run is on the 26th (Sunday) of this month (October). It will be earlier this year to avoid the afternoon rush. This will give us more time to relax and chat. See the post.
After the record breakingly quick meeting we all rocked and grooved to the Bee Gees tribute band who were absolutely spectacular. I never really liked the Bee Gees that much but was sucked into the mood and had a blast. My mate (a HUGE fan) regressed back to her younger years as she boogied.
