[Pics inside] Anyone wants to go to Queens this Friday ?

[Andy]

We are almost done with the first half of Cal refresher; it's time to take a breather and see what we've done and things to improve on.
What's better way than to go out with your classmates this Friday evening, have a drink and maybe talk a bit about the homework due the next Monday. :D

Bridgett will make an announcement during the class today about the details but here are some tentative info

Where: Main Street, Flushing, Queens (end of 7 train)
When: around 6pm. 7ish for the hard working people
What: maybe some hotpot, buffet, "You good to go" TacoBell or what have you.
Why: why not? We are a fun bunch and you should hang out with us.

Hopefully I can gather more than the few usual suspects this time around.

[Bridgett]

Well, Andy...I'm sure your magnet works even better this time :mrgreen:

[Yan He]

This is my recommended hotpot place in Flushing, Queens. It's about $12 /person.(One of my favorate). Everytime I passed by, there's always a long line for seat. So ...tell me if you would join, I can call to make a reservation.(I have Bridgett, Andy, Yan so far)
Andy, I think 6pm is too early for ppls wokring, can we make it a little later?
And we can have Bubble Tea(Mike's Gummy Bear) afterwards.

Mynni's Shabu Shabu
136-17 38th Ave. off of Main Street

After the meats and vegetables are cooked, you dip them in a delicious sauce and eat.

[Andy]

Thanks Yan,
We will meet in front of the restaurant at 7pm. If you can get there later, it's fine. Just give us a call and we will save you a seat.

A call at the last minute probably won't do any good. Let Andy or Yan know ahead of time (say, Friday by noon?)

[RussianMike]

ok I'm in, it is pouring out there though

[Andy]

Yes, it's raining but really, what can stop us?
I've talked to Alain earlier and he told me to say hi to everyone coming. He will join us in future events when his company moves to the city in Aug.
That said, we've discussed some problems in the hw and I'm working on it now. Hopefully by the time I sit down with you guys for hotpot, I may know a thing or two to share so your time won't be wasted. How's that for 110% effort? :)

[michaelfwang]

Hotpot--- my favorite, but I have to be in Pilly this weekend. Count me in next time. Have fun.

[Yan He]

Come on, come on guys, it's Friday!! (We got hit by pouring rain last time in Flushing and still had a good time) Everybody welcomed! since hotpot is good for more ppls. Come join us if you feel you may have no other plan, we will have fun together.

Why Dan didn't post the revised HW ? He wants us to relax?
But from what it is now, I've done #1 and #2. ;-) ;-) Then I will have the whole weekend.

[Bridgett]

Yan- What is the headcount for now? Do you want to list people's names here so that each of us can check with you if you have each of our names already?
(for reservation purpose)

[Yan He]

Bridgett, so far I have Andy, Mike, you and me frim. If you have any others, add the names here. Thanks.
:D

[Andy]

I think Chris and Bill are in too. So guys, if your names are here or not here, please confirm.

[Bridgett]

I think Eric is coming too. On top of the number we've got, maybe we should also reserve 3 open-spots just in case?

[Andy]

That sounds about right...Maybe Max can swing by and join. Others may decide to stop by too.

[AmericanBilly]

Count me in.

[RussianMike]

so where are we meeting?

I wish :) I finish at 7:30 tonight and have to work tomorrow and on Sunday. On a top of that I have to catch up with HW and Quiz4 after work. So I hope to go with you guys next time, because I like hotpot and enjoy your company very much.

Have a good time everyone! I'm waiting to see pictures from this event tonight ;)
