Sounds great - I'm hungry already :-)

Simon Shurey · May 10, 2014 9:40AM

Update.
1 )Our plan for those who will be attending the dinner to have you pay via paypal so we will be able to pay for the food as one check. You will be responsible for any beverages at your table.

2) Secondly we will be asking you to make a dinner choice and the server will reconfirm at the table. Hopefully you will remember what you ordered

.

Thanks for this public announcement.

Simon, are a lot of people bringing their significant others or is it mostly racers? Doing recon for my brother and me, well, I guess I'm doing the recon for our wives!

Thanks!

[Deleted User] · May 28, 2014 7:17PM

Just me at this point. I am working on my wife.

Simon Shurey · May 28, 2014 9:58PM

@Ethan if they are in Lake Placid they are welcome to the dinner.

cdkayak · May 30, 2014 9:51AM

@Ethan, my wife is planning attending.

Brad Marcus · May 30, 2014 10:31AM

My wife is attending too. She is not part of the EN team, but is racing IMLP.

Brenda Ross · June 3, 2014 7:48AM

All RSVP's must be put on the EN Event Sheet. All links are in the first post above. Note deadline.

jenandersen · June 3, 2014 9:09AM

I'm planning on bringing my husband. Is anyone else bringing other family? My parents will probably be in town and I don't know how they would feel about being ditched for the night since they don't get to see a lot of me. :-)

Simon Shurey · June 3, 2014 11:42AM

@jen anybody is welcome including family. Just add them into the events sheet, follow the directions i.e pay ahead, make dinner choices, that sort of thing.

Terra Meierdierck · June 23, 2014 2:14PM

Will there be a vegan option? Two of us on the team, who are doing the race, are vegan. Laura is gluten free too - which I'm totally cool with.

SBHNO · June 24, 2014 8:52AM

@ Terra, the "#3" is a vegetarian option:

#3 - Vegetarian burrito with grilled marinated vegetable, spinach, cheddar, rice and beans served with citrus crema and salsa verde

Terra Meierdierck · June 24, 2014 2:38PM

@ Ben - yes - vegetarian... But if it is pre made with cheese on it, its not vegan. I'm supposing the citrus crema isn't either.

Simon Shurey · June 28, 2014 9:35PM

Terra I am happy to speak to the restaurant I do know that we have several other vegans. I

Terra Meierdierck · June 30, 2014 8:04AM

Thank you, Simon. Please let me know; I would like to attend.

EthanHales · July 6, 2014 9:48PM

Signed in on the spreadsheet and paid for dinner. Thanks for coordinating the dinner, Simon. See you all there.

Brenda Ross · July 7, 2014 9:03AM

I am vegan and they will have a salad bar, so I will just pay and order the vegetarian and let hubby have it if there is not vegan option. I am however not racing, so what I eat on Thursday night is not as important as you athletes. If the menu does not accommodate you , we still would love to have you stop by at the venue to meet the team.

[Deleted User] · July 8, 2014 6:42AM

signed up for Turby and I. Could not change the "1" to a "2" for the payment - but did change the "$30" to $60". Thanks for organizing this!

Antoinette Rose · July 9, 2014 7:13AM

Thank you, Simon, for setting this up. I'm all RSVP'd and paid and really excited to see everyone there. My husband, Tom, will be attending with me.

Home stretch!!!!!

Steve West · July 9, 2014 7:51AM

Will be staying in town so decided to join the Team for dinner! Paid and updated my info on the spreadsheet. Thanks Simon.

jenandersen · July 9, 2014 8:17AM

Is there another way we can pay for the dinner? It doesn't seem to like my credit card - keeps saying the address doesn't match my billing address.

Simon Shurey · July 9, 2014 12:31PM

@jen if you would like I can pay for you and you can just give me the money at the dinner.

Simon Shurey · July 9, 2014 12:32PM

I need to know how many vegans we will be having for dinner.

Terra Meierdierck · July 9, 2014 12:36PM

@Simon So, there will be a vegan option? If so - count me in!

Brenda Ross · July 9, 2014 2:18PM

Me, Laura, Tim, Heather, Terra. That is all I know about. Anyone else.

Brad Marcus · July 9, 2014 4:20PM

Thanks, Simon. I've rsvp'd for 2 and all paid. Looking forward to seeing you all in 2 weeks!

Davew · July 9, 2014 9:45PM

Good choice in team dinner location! My wife Vicki will be attending as well; all signed up and look forward to meeting the team. Thanks for coordinating Simon.

Laura Becker · July 10, 2014 7:17PM

THANKS FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER SIMON!!! I am a gluten-free vegan! I don't want to cause extra work for you, so if it's easier for me to contact them or ask them what they've got I can do that that. And if they don't have anything, I can just come and hang out. No worries!! I am RSVP'd and paid.

jenandersen · July 14, 2014 5:56AM

@Simon - I'm going to borrow my mom's credit card and pay later today hopefully so I should be all set but thanks for the offer:-) It's weird how many problems I've had with my card and US sites this week. No one wants my Danish money. :-)

jenandersen · July 18, 2014 11:27AM

Paid now - see you all there! :-)
