March Triangle area meetup - date is Thursday March 29 for dinner

Last edited Thu Mar 15, 2012, 11:26 PM - Edit history (1)

Decision is to do it in Raleigh again due to a visit from a long time DUer and long time DU2 mod, Mopinko.

Thinking Thursday evening 6:30 - near Brier Creek again...how about Tra Li Irish Pub?

Please respond in this thread if you can come...or have other restaurant suggestions. We will definitely do Chapel Hill or Durham next time - but Mo's visit makes this too good a chance to pass up!

One of the dates we might not want to consider is ACC weekend. The restaurants will be packed.

Not do much regarding restaurants, but not to limit who might attend. That includes me. Sorry DUers.

The week after the ACC tourney, the first two rounds of the NCAA tourney should be avoided (Th-Sun).

She will be staying near Brier Creek perhaps, so am thinking maybe Tra Li Irish Pub near Brier Creek - or other suggestions (Mo and I need to have a good beer together - can't beat a pub for that!).

This is still a bit preliminary - awaiting confirmation on the date from Mo, as well as time - though 6:30 sounds reasonable.
