Hi everyone,
You are cordially invited to come to BJ's Restaurant and Brewhouse in Livonia, next to the AMC 20, to mingle, make friends, perhaps see familiar faces and enjoy a beautiful afternoon. There is a very large, free parking lot adjacent to the restaurant.
For those of you that are attending a Halloween party that evening, I thought that I would host a pre-party to help get you in the spirit 🙂 and for those of you who don't I thought I would offer you an earlier alternative 😄. If you don't have a party to go to, feel free to stay longer. I live in the area and am not hurrying home at the end of the event. Also, going forward, I will be looking for venues further north to make it more convenient for many more of us.
BJ's has a nice patio outside and a large menu catering to various diets and tastes. The weather forecast is mostly sunny and 64 F. If the weather holds up I can see about moving it outside. For now, I've asked to be setup near a large TV with Big 10 games. Once you arrive, ask the hostess for my table. I will also send a message on the event chat once I'm seated identifying where we are.
You may have noticed that this group has been silent for a long time. Caroline, our group owner is completing her recovery from health issues and should be back with us around late winter. In the meantime, I would like to revitalize the group and, with the support of your constructive feedback, make it your favorite group of all.
To make this the best for us - BJ's and the group - please keep your RSVPs current and arrive on time. If you know you will be arriving late, let me know ahead of the start time as I may allow BJ's to remove a table if we have multiple no-shows. Also, I set the RSVP cutoff to be early, Friday, Oct. 25. This will give me time to let BJ's know our headcount. If we have enough people on a waitlist, I will reach out to BJ's and check if they will let me grow the reservation.
I am looking forward to meeting you all, or ya'll if your from the south; I lived in Texas for 5 years.
All my best,
Gaston
