Friday pre-dinner get-together change of plans

As I informed a few of you via email, I just received a letter from Embassy Suites notifying me that a craft fare is scheduled to begin there on Friday evening. My immediate response was to book a room at the Hilton. I will not subject my friends or myself to a gaggle of thousands of people who choose to spend their day searching through two entire floors of used Christmas ornaments.

Based on some preliminary feedback to my initial email, here is plan B. Catman and I will hook up in the early afternoon and then meander over to SageBrush, where we will see how many 42 oz Sam Adams we can imbibe and still be able to move. So for those of you who had planned to hook with us at the hotel, you will probably find us at SageBrush by 5:30 or so; we will then head to Arthur’s by about 6:45. SageBrush's address is:

Sagebrush Steak Cantina
38 Horsehill Rd
(bet. Hanover Ave. & Ridgedale Rd.)
Cedar Knolls
201-539-3324 http://www.zagat.com/search/Details....1&PID=1&LID=42

If approaching via Rt 10 FROM 287, take the appropriate U Turn that will place you on Rt 10 eastbound. Make a left on Ridgedale Ave and then proceed to the south for about five minutes or so, past 4-5 lights. At one of the intersections, look for Horse Hill Road on your right; it may be hard to see. Make a right and then follow the road as it curves to the left. Look for SageBrush on the right after about 30 seconds or so.

I hope to see you all there; otherwise, I'll meet you at Arthur's at 7:00PM
