Corrected my post, I am highly allergic to fish and sea food. Didn't realize autocorrect had changed the meaning of my humor.
As fort he 25th, as long as I don't have to go to California that weekend, I should be good. Usually I get a couple weeks notice! but MIL is really ill and that could change.
Support them with duck commander gear. I would think duck dynasty is trademark by the network

Thoughts

I can meet anywhere within 3 hours of Phoenix. I figure if someone can figure out where everyone is coming from maybe we can find something that is fairly centrally located.

Any of that works for me.

I'd prefer the Phx area but the barbeque place in Wikieup sounds good. Give a break for anybody coming in from Kingman, Wickenburg, Bullhead etc from driving all the way into Phx. Possibly a future event in Az City or Prescott. Golden Corral or Hometown Buffet if we meet up in Phx. Both are great places but I give the edge to the Golden Corral.
I'm in for one thumbs down for Denny's but will anxiously attend if it is convenient for anybody else. While I was taking care of an elderly relative I ate at Denny's 3-4 times a week for over two years. Eventually all the food tasted the same to me.
I suggest everybody interested in attending to nominate and post a location and after a few days we vote.
Golden Corral - 3 votes so far NewbieDave007, Azrednek and me

Sounds good to me. These are all convenient for me. Truth be told, the power road location is 3 minutes from my house.

If everyone else is OK with power road it's ok with me.

Power Rd is ok with me but I think we should consider Larry Gibson offering to car pool with others coming in from the Lake Havasu area. I'm not trying to add confusion or discourage anybody from the east Mesa location but before we all rubber stamp our OK on Power Rd. Lets wait and hear from Larry or anybody wishing to attend from his neck of the woods.
For now I'm going to assume Golden Corral on Power Rd unless we hear from others wanting to meet up elsewhere. Going forward from here lets have yes, no, maybe or alternate suggestions to the Power Rd location. If the meet-up is successful we can plan future events at locations more convenient for others.
A few years ago several of us met up in east Mesa for a lead group buy. The meet-up was very successful. Got to put a face behind many of the handles used on this board. I for one was really glad to have attended getting to meet AzStew before he passed. Az member Calehedro literally worked his butt off trying to put the lead purchase together. The lead supplier turned flakey, story changed daily and everybody was promptly refunded.
Just something to consider and possibly chat about at a meet-up. If we were to pool our $$'s possibly we could approach Glendale Metals and save a few bucks on his scrap lead.
North Power Road is OK with me...

One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)
The Power location is fine with me but to be upfront it is shooting distance from where I'm staying right now. I'm also willing to travel if that works better for others.

Me too, I can travel easier than a lot of folks. Plan around yourselves and I will get there.

Agreed - I'll send Larry a PM so he can think about it and chime in.

I checked w/son Jim, who lives in Tempe. There's a joint at the corner of Eliot and McClintock named Flanny's - a family run joint that has good food, and they change their beer menu daily. Real friendly neighborhood place that he & I have walked to from his house - he even brings his 2 1/2 yr-old dotter for breakfast ocasionally. Can't go wrong with Flanny's...
I talked w/Jim after I had posted this originally. He says he can arrange it so we have a private area that will accommodate up to 15-17 folks, and their sandwiches are Number ONE!
Also, it is very convenient for folks to get to, more centrally located than the Power place, and so on. Easy to get to from the 101, 202, I-10, &cetera.

Is there room for one more for this party

So far, should be room - depending on a concurrence on where we are going to meet. I haven't heard any remarks re Flanny's from any of the other attendees.
