I've worked out the banquet details. Here they are folks!

Friday Dinner - July 28, 6:00 social, 7 p.m. dinner (tentative)

Served Buffet style in the Nevada Room, but with a BBQ theme. Sit back in the Nevada Room with a beer and get to know everybody that's just ridden from different parts of North America for the first national FJR event! Rallymasters, staff, and others will welcome everybody and detail the events of the weekend.

Call it the "Feed Bag"! If you didn't get your gut full Friday, this is the time to have a hearty glass of red and a chunk of salmon with your new friends you've spent the day riding with! Shout-outs to the Saddle Sore finishers and other FJR riders of distinction. This is the evening we all are looking forward to.

After July 23, it will be $93 for the package deal, $47 for Friday, or $52 for Saturday including those late folks. We won't be able to accept cash at the door because I have to get banquet counts into the Hilton two days before the dinners. Do not bank on paying at the door!!!!!
I'm in and around until Thursday, July 6 to field and answer questions on this thread, fix anything I forgot, read the entertaining remarks that I'm sure will ensue, and then be gone for a long weekend riding. I'll be back Monday, July 10.

See y'all in Reno.

**NOTE for PayPal Challenged People**

Those bound and determined to avoid PayPal may contact me via PM first to possibly make arrangements via check payable to Matt Watkins and snail mail. It would need to be a simple and smooth transaction and I still strongly encourage PayPal. If you are bent on this option, PLEASE do it sooner than the deadline.

Cancellation

If before Tuesday, 5 p.m., I might be able to accomodate partial refunds. After that period I will be in transit to Reno, must turn in counts to the hotel, and very likely will not be online. Then, you'd have to use your Jedi skills to make contact with me.

Mesquite Barbequed Tri Cip

I have no idea what you're talking about. It shows "Tri Tip" to me ;)

You ain't et till you've et Port Loin. Just throw that gut on the board TDub, we've got some hungry bikers here......... :assassin: :D

Does it have to be Apricot sauce, or can I get some Starboard Sauce to go?

This seems to be a mass hallucination.

:assassin: Don't know what you're all talking about. It shows "pork" for me :assassin:

As for sauce....we'll see what Skooter can whip up.

Everybody goes through once with plates piled and once everybody's through and gotten whatever they want folks can head back and stack on a second round of whatever is left.

Already got my first sign-up. Pawtrack. You're in and all banquet square for the Friday/Saturday package.

Tender Leaf Spinsh Salad with Mushrooms & Red Onions Served with Warm Bacon Dressing
This sounds really good, but could we possibly get Spinach instead? I'm allergic to Spinsh...

 
Looking good Iggy...!

Ahh. Like making a Persian rug I didn't want to offend Allah by presuming I'm perfect. That error was intentional.

Spinsh Akbar!

Then these weren't intentional? :huh:

Torelline Primavera Salad - Tortelline or Tortellini maybe?

Chocolate Mouse - Mousse maybe, or is this a dipped rodent?

PayPal challenged? I doth protest! It's rather that PayPal is customer relations challenged. I'm thinking of a Blutarsky type of dining experience for WFO at this point if my PayPal account isn't cleared up by the weekend.

Hey Iggy, you have start and finish times on the meals? Did I miss that? I'm in, no matter what, but would sure like to TRY to plan on being back to eat. If it's at 4:30, forgeddaboudit.

How about other soft drinks? At the cash bar? Or are you trying to up the alcohol consumption to get that majic 5 bills each night?

And if you dump the bar the second night (which may be more well attended?) can we walk to another bar to get libation and bring it back to the Nevada Room? Or do we need a bus to get there and back? Different time zones?

I say just instill a ONE DRINK MINIMUM, then you should be covered.

Speelink erers aside, damn fine job Iggy, I have no doubt that you probably have a lot going on, and I appreciate all the work you and the others have put into this. Coinage sent, and looking forward to Tri Cip, Roasted Port Loin, and Spinsh. Truly an exotic sounding menu........... :p

And for all you spell checking critics: Deserts? That's what the SS1K guys are going to be doing. I'd rather stay back at the hotel and have some dessert. :****:
