Mike's wife is #9 and a personal email from Ron S. confirms him as #10. The proprietor told me that our dining area upstairs has been set before for a grouping of 10.....so, I reckon we are now maxed-out as things appear. I will phone the hostess tomorrow, as promised, and relay a message of settings-for-10. She asked me last Monday if we wanted to violate ANSI standards and forget about considerations of ceiling height clearance, and maybe we could sit another 6 people, and I told her this group always sticks to the standards.....and 10 will be just fine.
We have a special menu being prepared for us and we should have options of entree choices, along with appetizer and dessert. It will all work out fine. The only logical approach is to add the total plus tips and simply divide by the number who show for the evening. If we all do just 1 pre-paid comp check tomorrow or Wednesday, for say, $35 to $50, that should take care of each of us for that evening !.......What, your clients don't pre-pay for comp checks ?.....oh, well.....how unfortunate for you, so.....you probably should stop by your ATM on the way to Castle Rock.
Maybe we can stay longer and turn that room into a poker playing event......therefore bring your extra cash so that I can compensate myself accordingly by draining your wallets and pocketbooks.
The camera is NOT my obligation so somebody bring one with a fully-charged flash ! ! Anyone have wide-angle lens viewing ?
