St. A's Weekend BT Activities?? (Page 6)

Do I detect a bit of dislike for Buca???  

OK well, I guess I'll give them a call early this evening and inform them of our plans.  Thanks for the input. 

Nope they are fine too.....its all pasta   Just the biggest competitor I could think of

Ok...so we have reservations at Carracba's at 5 pm.  We will all be in one area of the restaurant and no need to order ahead or anything.  seperate checks, table check whatever we all want is fine with them.  They were extremely accomodating for us!

So, if you have not already posted that you are coming ot dinner, can you please do so this week or PM me or Q (Jeff) so I can give them a ballpark figure for the dinner.

Looking forward to meeting all of you!

-Jamie 

OK, Jamie is a lifesaver!!!  Everyone thank her for helping out with this!! 

I'll post a list next week of who's confirmed so far.  It'll be early in the week so there's plenty of time for changes or cancellations.  It's finally coming together!!

Dang Jamie- what did you say to them? Way to take care of business. I guess being in the restaurant industry helps.

Oh, did I mention I HEART Carrabba's? I could eat their bread/olive oil all friggin' day!

OK here's my confirmed list so far.  Please let me or Jamie know if there are any changes.  I'll try to be up front to welcome everyone.  I probably will NOT be wearing the red short.  Sorry...I know you're all soooooo disappointed.  LOL

OK list as follows...

That's 47 as of right now, and our res is for 50, so we're good!  This is gonna be cool!!  OK, we had 47 people at the IMAZ dinner last weekend, which was VERY close to the number we had last year at St. A's...I think it turned out to be 51...will we go over that this year???? 

Just an FYI...Carrabba's is at 22nd Ave. and 4th St. North in St. Pete.  You can Mapquest or Google Map it to get the directions from your respective location.

We are still set for a noon practice swim and then a bike ride on the run course.  Ideally I'd love to do the entire swim but we're talking 25 to 27 minutes here, so if I have to cut it short due to time constraints that's fine.  Either way, we're set for noon on Saturday.

Gotcha!!

Woot!! That's 50!!  I'll bet we can beat last year's total!!

Scary Jeff, not sure how you read my mind.  I don't remember telling you I was +3, but that could be what I am.  Plus a few fellow TriGators.  I should know very soon.

dinner is at 5, I think...address is somewhere in the thread, I think...I'm a wealth of information

Jeff, dinner is at 5 and the address is below..see you then!

Hi gangs!  I am coming to jockstrap the race as a NE BT representative.  Looking forward to a fun weekend. 

hopefully some folks can help me check over my bike since I have to put it back together after flying...boy I hate doing that.  Any mechanics in the crew?

I'm so excited....after doing my first tri of the season Sunday in torrential downpours and 50 degrees... 

Amy, I use to build bikes so i could help if needed.  Your best bet may be going to the expo and having someone from the local bike shops look it over.  They have usually 2 areas set up for anyone who need there bike checked over.

Or just buy a new Orbea.   

Is there room for 2 more?

Hey, this'll be the first St. A's I'm not going to be at in the last few years....and I'm gonna miss seeing everyone, the hype, and the commotion.

I Hope everyone has a great weekend, enjoys the BT company, races safely, and that the wind doesn't blow....

Looks like Carraba's is prepping for our arrival:
Hillsborough County sheriff's detectives are investigating the theft of a tractor-trailer carrying 1,600 cases of longneck Ice House beer – valued at $20,000, officials said.
