[il-talk] Fw: Friday dinner at convention

[GREGORY ROSENBERG]

Good evening Bob,

I am planning to do the Friday night dinner outing. Do we need to give you a restaurant choice ahead of time? If so, I would choose the "Rock Island Brewing Company (RIBCO)" for my first choice and Huckleberry's as an alternate. I get great pizza in Chicago and have no familiarity with the Pizza available in Rock Island. Although I imagine it is at least a derivative of what we get here in the South West suburbs or downtown Chicago..

>> What are you doing for dinner on Friday night of our state convention?  "I don't know," you say?  Well, why not join the Blackhawk Chapter as we lead you out of the hotel to a nearby restaurant in the exciting "District" of downtown Rock Island.

This will not be an all-you-can-eat affair, and the type of pizzas will be pre-selected.  Huckleberry's also has a full bar.  The total cost, including pizza, soft drink, and gratuity should be close to $15.

>> Probably the best choice if you're looking for a sandwich -- hamburgers, chicken, reuben, etc. -- or those bar-type appetizers your diet tells you to stay away from.  RIBCO is a micro brewery with a selection of its own beers, but also has a full bar.  RIBCO is noted in the District for having live bands, though we will be too early for that.  A sandwich, soft drink, and gratuity should be around $15.

Again, this is not a popularity poll to decide which of these restaurants we will go to in one big bunch.  We need to break into three groups in order to keep from swamping these restaurants with a large group on a busy Friday night.  Make your personal choice as to where you want to go and let me know.  We will take off from the hotel at 5 PM and plan to leave the restaurants by 6:30.
