    I will likely be there as well... my idea is more of a "neighborhood meeting," so to speak. The NRA venue is fine.. and no reason to do both :)


    How about Dinner?

    If you haven't been before, this is just a bunch of like minded guys enjoying a catfish dinner and a fun evening. I know there's a number of guys here that attend each year, and it goes to a great cause.

    So far, looking good for me on Sat morning. I have no offshore scheduled yet.

    For now, I'm thinking 9:30am at Big Easy Diner. Sound OK?

    works for me. Only problem I would see is that it's one big open restaurant and I don't know if they'll reserve a section for us. Have you checked to see if that's do-able on their (Big Easy Diner's) end?

    I just called and they said it won't be a problem. No reservation necessary.

    Oh thanks for calling.

    I figure there may be ten max to show up.

    If anyone shows up late, no biggie. I'm sure we'll end up staying longer than an hour, so showing up at 1030 isn't a prob

    I would like to come but alas, it's moving day for me. Maybe if you do it again in the future. Hope it goes well.

    I'm checking in... made it back to Slidell this evening. I'm on ca, but looks like no offshore work till after the weekend.

    So I'll be at Big Easy Diner about 9:30. What I'll do is get an area set for about 8 people. Just come in and ask for David's table.

    Hope to see a couple of Slidell shooters. :)

    Meant to make it, but decided to take the opportunity to take the boy fishing tomorrow morning. Have fun, guys. Hope to make it another time.

    I'll be at Honey Island Sunday evening if any of you head out that way.

    We had a good meet and greet at Big Easy Diner. It was based on quality and not quantity (there were three of us). Great to meet David and Roger. David, thanks for initiating this.

    Wish the turnout had been better. Had I known how fishing was going to be this morning, I'd just have brought my son with me and met with you guys.

    Next time.

    Thanks! It was great to meet fellow shooters from the neighborhood. We had good conversation and good food. Three is a good turnout for something like this.

    We may try to do this again next month and meet at the range instead. I just enjoyed meeting new people.. and even though Paul is ex-Coast Guard, he actually turned out to be a good guy. ;)
