Speaking of Ambulance Driver...

... he tells me he's going to be visiting the Volksrepublik the end of next month...

We've got a tight window on this one - he's flying in Sunday evening, the 27th, and will have Monday the 28th free for a shoot of some sort. We can do dinner either Sunday night on the later side or Monday night at a normal dinner time; I think Sunday might work better for folks in general. His flight gets in on the later side - after 7 - so I was thinking we could find a restaurant somewhere on the Route 1 corridor north of Boston.

There's a couple of Italian restaurants in the area - either Polcari's in Saugus (which is very good IMHO) or Carrabba's in Peabody (more of a chain a la Olive Garden, but commenter and good friend SCI-FI has an in there and can get us a private room...). Time would be around 8 o'clock if we do Sunday night; more like 6 - 7 if we decide to go for Monday. My preference would be to have the dinner Sunday night as some/most will have Monday off for the shoot, but if there's a strong push for Monday night we can accomodate.

So, as before, the usual:

What: Third Annual Meet, Greet, and Shoot for Ambulance Driver

When: Sunday, February 27th, 8 PM for dinner; Monday, February 28th, 10 AM for shoot.

Where: Dinner TBD, possibly Polcari's in Saugus or Carrabba's in Peabody as above; shoot possibly at Harvard Sportsmen's Club in Harvard MA if we can find a sponsor.

Why: Um, because it's Ambulance Driver? Who could pass up an opportunity to meet with the inimitable AD live and in person? And watch as your humble host humiliates himself yet again while keeping his "minute-of-berm" title?


Let me know if you're interested in attending the dinner, the shoot, or both!

That is all.

Go for the private room. It leaves the management with some sort of plausible deniability, AND won't shock the PSH neighbours.

Just try to keep him from getting mugged of all his money, passport and cell phone again. Dude has bad luck.

Sounds like a great idea. I'd vote for the Sunday dinner, Monday shoot. As for dinner location, I'd have to go with Carabba's, mainly because it is closer to my house.
