Ft. Lauderdale GTG end of January anyone..??

[Idle Swede]

.

Our esteemed member John Eaton and his wife are coming down all the way from WA. and I thought we'd have a GTG to welcome them to the area?

Any takers? :cheers::thumbsup:

[chriseskew24]

Maybe I am going to NYC next month so it just depends when :)

[Dan Pierce]

Leo, I'm supposed to be in Palm Beach for a few days sometime in Jan and I'd love to attend but not sure what my final schedule will look like.
Give it my best shot though.:cheers:

Hope it's at the end of Jan, would be nice to meet up again. :cheers:

[datejust1]

Ohh!!! I was going to be in Ft. Lauderdale that same week!!! But John's coming to Puerto Rico on February 2nd... I wish I could go! Maybe next time!

[diversified]

Something I'm definitely going to consider. It would be a nice get away from this miserable northeastern weather!
Besides, I haven't been down the Ft. Lauderdale area for 30 years.

Haven't been able to reach John yet but went through my e-mails and it looks like we're set for Friday January 29th.

Mark your calendars. :cheers::thumbsup:

[diversified]

Leo, looks like I'll have to see you guys another time. I'm supposed to be in Phila. 1/29 - 2/2 for meetings.
I thought you were getting together on the 3rd weekend of Jan., maybe next time.

What is more important, a boring meeting or a fun GTG? :thinking::rofl::lol::rofl::lol::thumbsup::thumbsu p:

I don't know about the 29th but I'll be down there for a few days in January. Maybe we can have a separate small GTG :cheers:

[JohnEaton]

Ha!!! when and were???:thinking::thinking:

where?
You guys are locals and know the area well, but just shared a flight with Greg O from WmE2 (William Morris) and he recommended Pier 66 or Joe's Stone Crabs...

I also had a thumbs up for Acqualina from Anastasios. :thumbsup:

I don't really care, everyone I talk to about Ft Lauderdale say they love the place.

All I need are a few WIS to benchrace watches over drinks and some good food and I'm happy. :cheers:

I'd guess the scenery will be great just about anywhere there.

when?
Anytime day or night on January 29 would be preferable.
late evening January 28 is possible...

Looking forward to it !!!! :dude: :dude:

Joe's Stone Crabs is in South Beach. About 20-30 minute drive south from Ft. Lauderdale. That place is good, but probably won't want to accommodate a huge group and allow people to hang there for much longer after the meal.
It can be a bit stuffy. I will be there for a business dinner Monday night, if you want me to ask the maitre d' just ask.


Maybe someone has a better suggestion. What type of event do you want to make this? Chillis or Nice sit down?

[JohnEaton]

Doesn't have to be a big group, I'll be happy just having a few drinks with Leo and Anastasios, I know everyone is busy...

And it doesn't have to be fancy, I'm just a country boy that likes nice watches.

Just wanted to say Hi and have a beer or two with some fellow WIS and TRFers. :cheers:

[JohnEaton]

Checked on Houstons beside the Intercoastal, looks like a great place...:clap:

Someone should let Houstons know that there is info out on the net that says Houstons closed for business a few months ago (it was some dining guide site) I'll pull it up and post the link later.

Would be great if you could make it Oscar :cheers:

And please don't misconstrue my previous comment, I'll be happy whoever shows up, BUT THE MORE THE MERRIER. :dude: :cheers:

[ingoodtime]

I may be able to make it but after the holiday spending spree would rather go to a somewhat reasonably priced place between Delray Beach and Ft. Lauderdale. Joes in South Beach is a bit far for me and drinks are pricey. Martinis are over 12 bucks.

Don't worry Lee, we won't pick the most expensive place and it will be in Ft. Lauderdale since we had the last GTG in Miami.


PS. Martinis can never be too pricey. :lol::rofl::lol:

[Rockrolex]

Sorry, we can't make it. Won't be back till mid-March.

But I'd recommend H2O Mediterranean Grille, 101 Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd.

We stumbled into it on our last trip and it was a great place for dinner - and not overly expensive.

[ft laud mike]

If there are many martini fans- there is this place, almost at the beach

Sorry you couldn't make it either

Maybe next time :cheers:

Always the one who asks first. :lol::rofl::rofl::lol:

[djhiram]

The one who's never been to a GTG is usually the one who pays :rofl:

Thanks for keeping me in mind Leo. I'll run it by Liz but I don't see a problem with us going :thumbsup:

[JohnEaton]

We are staying at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort on Ft. Lauderdale Beach Blvd, and were told that Casablanca's was very good to excellent and their prices were reasonable. There is live music and Happy Hour is 4pm to 7pm, I suggest since it seems we are all alcoholics (more than one Mod has called us "a bunch of lushes") we take full advantage of Happy Hour. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

http://www.casablancacafeonline.com/

If I get an idea of the size of the party I could reserve some tables... Or as a local perhaps you have a better idea Leo?

Again, Roxanne and I are just being tourists and are open to ANY time day or night on the 29th...

Thanks to all who can attend :clap: and a BIG thanks to you Leo :worship:

Hope to see you there fellow WIS :cheers:

Maybe we should start a roster around ten days out??? :thinking: Or should I just let you handle that Leo? :dude:

By all means start a roster John, after all it's your GTG. :cheers::thumbsup::thumbsup:

It does sound cool doesn't it ? :dude:

I'll buy first round for all WIS TRF or TKF members (and spouse, GF etc) attending, not to exceed say $300 USD total.

[JohnEaton]

How about we do it like this then:

Def = Definitely
Prob = Probably
May = Maybe

Def John and Roxanne
Def Leo (are you bringing your wife?)
Prob Hiram and Liz
Prob Pep
Prob Ft LaudMike
Prob Lee
May Oscar
May Anastasios [tempoking]
May Nikos [greekbum]
(I think most of our Greeks are out of the country right now and don't know exact return date)

Please feel free to Add your name, your GF, spouse or friend and adjust or add Def, Prob or May.

I hate to set limits, just had a few things get out of control before (once had over 700 show up to a semi-private Biker party when I expected 200 or less...) So, here is the scoop on the drinks: First round is on me, $15 max per drink must be a "The Rolex Forum" member or "Time Keeper Forum" member. I'll also buy the first round for the spouse, GF, friend, limited to a max of two friends per member... I don't care how many friends you bring as long as they are cool, like to have a good time and enjoy watches or at least WIS don't drive them crazy (must be cute to be in the last category)[B] but, I'm only going to buy two of your friends a drink.

If your third or fourth friend wants a drink you can buy it, they can buy it, they can join The Rolex Forum or dance on the table (must be really cute to be in the last category) :dude:

If we exceed 30 TRF and TKF members the drinks may be limited to members only... (unless of course you are in last category) :dude: :smokin:

Anyway thanks for bearing with my details, I just didn't want a repeat where 700 show up and I only know 300 and everyone is yelling "where's my drink?" :dummy:

Leo, since you are the print/ad media king, could you possibly get some "Avatar" Name Badges made up beforehand when we get a final count? :thinking:

So tentatively we are at Casablanca's Friday January 29th, arrive as early as 4PM, hope to see you by 6:30PM as happy hour ends at 7. Dinner at 7:45 and then we'll just play it by ear.

We will work any details out between now and then :thumbsup:

Hope to see you there fellow WIS:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: :smokin:

[Idle Swede]

Sounds good to me except I think start at 7pm is more likely.

I have a hunch most people can't make it that early. :thinking:

[JohnEaton]

Of course Leo, work is the curse of the drinking class :dummy:

So Leo, is your wife or a friend coming?



And Ashley dear, shall I dispatch the G5 for you? :dude:

[JohnEaton]

Leo,

I appreciate you setting up the get together for everyone; Roxanne and I are really looking forward to meeting fellow WIS and seeing Ft Lauderdale.

I hope quite a few can make it, and I don't mind buying the first round (it's kind of like ringing the bell in Alaska) it's a great way to get to meet everyone.

I know the members of TRF and felow WIS will not act like ruffians, and I should not have posted like that;:concerned I apologize... And as for the dancing on the tables I hope most understood it too was in jest,* as are probably half of my posts... even the G5,:concerned sorry Ashley.





*Unless of course Casablana's ratifies and condones that kind of thing :rofl:

[JohnEaton]

Just got off the phone with Casablanca.

There are openings on the 29th, reservations are only for parties of 12 and the private room is $5000 minimum.

So lets come up with at least 12 names people and I guess we don't need a private room unless we have 35+ attending.

Oscar,

We'll be there the evening of the 28th and are open for a late dinner, if you can make it. :read:

Early breakfast on the 29th at the Tower Club, as we are visiting Rotarians and wanted to coordinate with relief efforts... Probably meeting with Leo's bulk shipper at Pt Everglades and then some sightseeing (I was told to check out J R Dunn on Las Olas) before the GTG at Casablanca's from 6:45PM til they kick us out.

Breakfast on the 30th is open, but boarding the Eurodam around noon.

Certainly hope to see you and Anastasios while we are in town. :cheers:

[JohnEaton]

SO Oscar, you going to make it? :thinking:



Roxanne and I were picking up my Tux today (had it fitted) and noticed a guy wearing a 16613 bluesy and his girl had a lady DJ, but didn't say anything at the time. Anyway later the store manager asks when's the cruise? We said about ten days... And the couple says: "Really, where?" We told them Eastern Caribbean; they said us too, the 30th.

We told them about the GTG at Casablanca's and exchanged numbers and it seems we will meet up either at Casablanca's or St Thomas. Small world (bearing in mind that we are about as far from Ft Laud as you can get in the lower 48.)

I think Anasatasios is going to europe John...i will try to make it...im sure leos is lurking to bash me again :banghead::banghead: let me check again my schedule....

[bodybump]

SO Oscar, you going to make it? :thinking:



Roxanne and I were picking up my Tux today (had it fitted) and noticed a guy wearing a 16613 bluesy and his girl had a lady DJ, but didn't say anything at the time. Anyway later the store manager asks when's the cruise? We said about ten days... And the couple says: "Really, where?" We told them Eastern Caribbean; they said us too, the 30th.

We told them about the GTG at Casablanca's and exchanged numbers and it seems we will meet up either at Casablanca's or St Thomas. Small world (bearing in mind that we are about as far from Ft Laud as you can get in the lower 48.)

Ive been to casablanca...small but very cozy restaurant..when your coming back after the cruise??

Sorry Oscar, straight off the Eurodam and then on the plane. :banghead:

Found out today I will be back to Ft Laud / Miami again 30 to 60 days later to coordinate with Haiti ship and then on to Haiti. No firm date as of this time. :thinking:

Sounds as though you like Casablanca, hope to see you there; of course if you can't make the 29th a late dinner on the 28th is a possibility. :cheers: Or even breakfast the 30th :cheers:

THE GTG's ALMOST HERE !!!!!

Roxanne and I are leaving for the airport at 2:30AM in the morning, will be in Ft Lauderdale Thursday evening.

We need a ride to Lyons Road in Coconut Creek after my meeting with Fort Laud South Rotary, Mark with Food for the Poor said he can get all 765 beds and then some from Pt Everglades into Haiti, not meaning to impose on anyone, but PM me if anyone wants to help show us around Ft Laud for a couple hours on Friday early afternoon, otherwise I'll rent a car or Harley.

Looking forward to seeing everyone :cheers:
