Guest Linda S Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 Shall we all get together again for dinner at MQX West? I think Thursday night will be good, since the fashion show has been cancelled. Do you want me to get the room at Paddy's again, or should be try something else? Let me know!

newellyn Posted September 4, 2012 Report Share Posted September 4, 2012 The room at Paddy 's is good just tell them to set several tables instead of the biiiig looong table. Then I think we can mingle better and fit more in. I really felt bad that so many had sit in main room last year. We didn't get to meet them. Thursday should be great. Really getting excited.

Please let me know the details. If we go to the same place as last year we just hopped on the Max(?) right outside the convention center. A group went together and it was very easy.

srichardson Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Does anyone remember if there is a door between the bar area at Paddy's and the room we were in? I know that we weren't exactly quiet but there was quite a racket coming from the bar. It made it very difficult, if not impossible to have a conversation with anyone even if they were sitting right next door. I resorted to watching lips move but as I don't lip read it didn't really help much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisquilter Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Is there room for 4 more? Anna and I are coming to MQX with two more friends. If there is room, we will need directions. We will cab it as we are flying in and taking the Max from the airport. Thanks, chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 As time gets closer and plans are firmed up, we can arrange for some car-pooling to the restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know last year most of the downtown places wanted either a huge group and/or a huge total tab to offer a private room. I think the problem is as well, we never know until the night-of exactly how many will show.... Lyndas N--does Gustav's have a private room?

Barbara Conquest Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'll be at MQX and will likely be able to go to dinner. Can husbands come? He can speak "Quilt" as well as anybody, having lived with me for so long! Barbara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Count me in. As I am local, would you like me to scout around for a different place? I just want to see everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newellyn Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Linda R. Gustav's doesn't have an absolutely "private" room. They do have a large room with a huge table down the middle but there are booths around the perimeter that they do seat others at. The biggest problem with Gustav's is the distance. The one on Sandy that is not too far isn't big enough. The one we go to out on Sunnyside is not so convenient if we can't find enough cars to pool it. Bekah, if you are checking, why don't you see if Sanfords at Lloyd Center has a space if it is even still there. Paddy's was good, just not well set up.

Barbara Conquest Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Lloyd Centre sounds good -- easy walking distance from Convention Centre. And well lit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Linda S Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Folks - I haven't made any arrangements, as it seemed that many didn't want to go to Paddy's. Are we on for dinner and should I call, or would someone else like to make arrangements elsewhere? We probably should get this squared-away, as we have less than a month to plan.

Linda Linda, I hope that I didn't offend you when I mentioned the noise issue at Paddy's. I appreciated the time and effort that you went to last year to find a place where we were able to meet that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 No - I'm not offended at all! I just know that several people mentioned going to the Lloyd Center, etc., so I didn't want to go ahead and make arrangements if that isn't what we were going to do. Maybe I should post another thread, to be sure we're all on the same page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barbara Conquest Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 The Lloyd Centre is within walking distance of the Convention Centre. Can someone check availability of space there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I have checked and Stanfords at Lloyd Center can take us and as long as we have more than 20 we have a private room. I just need to know what time table to give them. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
