Subject: Response to CONFIDENTIAL TO So MI, NW OH, NE INDIANA

Hello Chucck and everybody, I made a reservation At CASA DOMINICK'S in Ann Arbor for Noon 'til 5 or 6 on Saturday, Oct. 30th for anywhere from 10 to 25 pe0ple. It's at 812 Monroe Street, behind the Law Quad of the University. It's not hard to find:
>From either East or West on I-94, take the State Road exit, North; it turns into State Street. Drive about 2+ miles into town, past the athletic complex, past Pacckard Road and Hill Street; the next street is Monroe. Turn right two blocks to Dominick's, on your right.

>From North or South on Route 23, take the Washtenaw Avenue exit West on Washtenaw. Caaution: after awhile, Washtenaaw bends to the right; follow it (not Stadium) to Hill Street (at the painted rock) and turn left (west) to State Street; then turn right on State one block to Monroe and right again to Dominicck's in the 2nd block on the right.

Parking: The owner said that on Saturdays when the team is playing out of town there's usually parking on the street (some are 3-hour meters); Better leave a little extra time in case you need to park a few blocks away...good practice for Y2K! I goofed on that garage a block away...it's by permit only, but there is ample visitor parking a few blocks west on Thompson Street, if necessary.

As I said on the first thread, Dominicck serves excellent pastas (about $6), pizzas, sandwiches, sshrimp specialties, wine, beer, a great house-recipe sangria, mixed drinks, soft drinks, in a funky, nifty atmosphere, family-owned and operated since l960...one of my two mosst favorite spots in town...(no, I'm not related!)

Questions, Chucck: What time? 12:30? 1:00? 1:30? Also, wwwhat's the agenda? a good excuse for a party and to meet the folks on the web? Fine by me! To exchange information? To pontificate? To brain-storm? Also fine by me. Do we need a mike?

ANSWERS:
YES, YES, YES, and, NO and YES (If I can make it I'LL do the PONTIFICATING!! Wouldn't want to disapoint the spouse
If any of the fforegoing needs modification, expansion or cancellation, please let me know. And folks, you might like to spend some time checking out the "Diag" (the campus); I'm biased 'cause I live here, but I think it's the best-blended mix of town and gown in America! See you soon! Oh, and if necessary, phone Dominick's at (734) 662-5414.

I just wonder if they serve that "humble pie" you folks will be eating come January.

I hope you folks all have a great time at your meeting. I think it's a good idea to get together. BTW, Is Ann Arbor that little bitty town to the south of the mighty Spartans of MSU?!

I plan to be there, if only for a short time. (I'm hosting a Halloween party that afternoon for my "rug rat's" friends.)

I too, am looking forward to putting faces with the names.

I also plan to bring a surprise answer to a question forum regulars may have been asking themselves lately. Hint: It's a little on the lines of that dinosaur game show "What's my line?" And, to elaborate on location, location, location:

A2 is our kind of town!

'Hope this helps! :)
