Is that happening this year?? I missed it last year due to the guitar and drum clinics, but have enjoyed it in the past. The photographer dude from Ft. Worth I call "Jon Oliva" - you gonna be there??

In my humble opinion, I think we ought to have it on Thursday as Friday and Sat the doors open at 2:00 for GB, and 3:00 for regular tickets, but on Thursday the doors open at 6:00.
So what say ye all to doing the lunch on Thursday? And some insight as to where it will be help, as I am old and can't remember where it was before.
 
I imagine it's done (I think) Friday because not everyone comes for Wed/Thurs and others fly in Thursday just in time to check into their hotel and head over to the show. Don't recall there being one organized for Saturday.
 
As I recall this is MichaelTEOF's gig to coordinate... I believe the name of the "regular" spot is Front Page News or something like that. I missed last years because of the guitar/drum clinics, but the year before that it was also held on a Friday. I'm sure he'll chime in soon and clear things up.
 
I think that Friday is the best day, but I think we talked about starting it a bit earlier next time so the GB holders can get on their way in time...

Good idea, plus some sponsors maybe a little late as there is always a sponsor meeting at around 10:30

I know nothing of this luncheon, but "Jon Oliva" is a pretty cool guy... I have chatted it up with him a few years in a row, up front! :headbang:
 
I just spotted this post. I've been setting this up every year; usually Friday OR Saturday.

I'm going to try and plan it around any clinics or other nonsense going on this year :).

But yeah... it's always on. I hope more people come this year (I'm talking to Colleen and her husbandbot, Tams, Tess, Clausbot, etc...)

Count Steve and I on attending. We had fun last year. Front Page News is a nice place to have it. Thanks to Michael TEOF for setting things up last year :)

Yep - count me in as well!

I think we had a later lunch last year to accommodate folks who wanted to make it to both the clinic and the lunch.

I like the earlier start time. I'd hate to have to choose between food and Pathosray. :) (Although the staff last year did a great job of getting everyone served quickly...)
 
I would be interested in attending! I missed it last year and FPN is one of my favorite restaurants to go to in Atlanta!
