Thanks to Dennis's suggestion, we have a reservation at the Ramblin Jacks Rib Eye just south of Chehalis and right off I-5. I'm updating the HOLIDAY PRINT EXCHANGE thread in the stickies above, please see that thread for details.

The kind folks at the restaurant have graciously agreed to provide a room at no charge. Hopefully members will bring appetites and order lunch as a way of saying thanks, but there is no minimum charge or required order.

I want to be able to give them a better head count. If you plan on joining us, would you be so kind as to RSVP in this thread by Monday the sixth? Thanks so much.

Finally, if you hope to attend please note if you would be interested in carpooling (thanks to John Lehmkuh for the idea) from either the Portland or Seattle areas. I can drive a van seating seven from the Park & Ride at the Ridgefield exit north of Portland, or would be happy to ride with someone else and split gas $.

I have to give a tentative yes. I have tickets for Do Jump that evening and dinner plans that require being in line before 5 p.m. Seems doable if I leave a tish early.

I'm bumping this up to a sticky thread in case some have missed it. So far I have seven attending. If you plan on attending and haven't posted here or dropped me a line, try to let me know so I can give the restaurant a head count. Thanks all, looking forward to it!

I can give someone a ride from Portland if they want to meet carpool from somewhere in the NE Portland area. I could pick you up at the Gateway or Parkrose Park and Ride or somewhere around Jantzen Beach. Let me know if you want a free ride. The only catch is I plan to get there at noon and leave at around 2:00 to get back to PDX for another shin-dig.

Just spoke to Ned Fenimore. He said he would attend. He's also interested in carpooling if possible.

John, I gave him your email so he could contact you.

Thanks Joe, Ned and are all set. Thanks for inviting him!!

Marylynne, I'm not sure I'll be able to return that early so I'll head up separate.

Looking forward to seeing all and their prints.

No problem. I have a Prius, so gas ain't a big deal AND I like to driving alone because it's the only time I can sing without seriously bugging people ;-).

Nonetheless, if someone wants a lift and doesn't mine leaving the festivities at around 2, email tonight.
