To Be Honest, I'm not 100% certain I can make it Sat night yet, but I'd still like to throw out a suggestion- Homes Brewery on Jackson Rd.

FOOD ? HOMES Brewery

Also the good thing is that everyone pays their own way/opens a tab when ordering so they're for sure good with individual checks. I just an unsure of if they take reservations,

I actually like the option of all 3 of these. If one is busy, go to the other. Or, wait a little for the food of your choice. Everyone kinda hangs out and can intermingle. All the places sound tasty and everyone covers their own tab.

Just got a reservation at Webers for the Sunday brunch. 9:30AM is the time of our reservation. Individual checks. They will add a 20% tip.

There will be a walking tour of Ann Arbor after the brunch. People have been known to do part of the walking tour and leave in the middle to catch a flight, so that is OK if you need to.

For Sat night, Black Rock, or somewhere else with "a large meeting room and many tables" is my first choice. After all, we're driving up to socialize, so table arrangements are my first thought. Separate checks are also a plus. We are staying over Sunday night & would like to dine with others then, also, if someone would like to pick a place.

If you want to set up something at BlackRock, we will all go there.

Here is another restaurant in nearby Saline, Michigan that has ample table space. Since you are staying on Sunday night, they are also open on Sunday. "Smokehouse 52 BBQ" opened their second restaurant in Saline earlier this year. Their address is 105 West Michigan Avenue, Saline MI 48176. Phone: 734-316-7913. They also have a location in Chelsea, Michigan. Here are the reviews and a menu.

I appreciate the vote of confidence but I'll leave it up to you organizers.

If you are going to be around Friday night...I would not make any other plans...

Announcement coming sooooon. You won't believe what happens next, it will shock you! No videos will be attached, sad!

For the ones that were around last year on the Friday, you will likely not be shocked lol.

Okay, it is official. The tradition continues. Party at my house on Friday night!

Start time 7 pm

I will provide all food and non alcoholic drinks. If you want to drink alcohol, bring your own beverages. You are responsible for what happens and you agree not to sue me if you show up

I recommend you arrange to drive together or Uber/Lyft. Please park on the street.

I have a new deck/patio so we should be okay I think to accommodate everyone but I would like to get an idea how many will show up so I can order appropriately. Last year there were a lot of leftovers and I am trying to eat less

I will have the address here briefly on the top of this post or via PM.

Looking forward to see you all.

Please, for Pete's sake, no bow ties lol.

Reminder that if you are on FaceBook, search for and join the Ann Arbor Art Fair DO Group.

You will get the latest info this way and possibly be able to meet up with others in town early or late.
