I will be there with my best bud Donna......as my husband is very hard of hearing and doesn't like to socialize, now that is kinda funny to me because he would be amongst a crowd of single sided deaf people, anyway it is his loss, I am looking forward to seeing everyone and having some great food to boot!! 12 noon at Maxwells
Diagnosed 6/2008
Right AN 2cmx8x9
Sub-Occipital at Mass General with Martusa and McKenna on 5/31/11
Right SSD, very little taste
I think I will make it!

Hi,
I'll sure plan on being there at noon (possibly coming with Laura allegro17). I'm glad I re-read this; I thought the place was called Maxine's. Is this something I can just plug into my GPS? I've never been to this area before. I'll check on the website though and get their address and phone number. Let me know if I'm missing anything obvious (like, is there only 1 Maxwells in Worcester)?
Looking forward to it!

Keri,
When we stopped in on a fluke on our way home from NYC, we called Dave's daughter and asked her to google the place.  It sent us to their corporate catering headquarters, and we had to get directions from a pedestrian.  Be sure you get the restaurant, not the renovated Union Station (?) offices.
It's easy to find, and an "everyone knows your name" kind of place in that town.
See you soon.
You heard that I'm bringing the journal for gluing/writing/photo entries, right?

Hi Phyl, Just found out about the brunch? I think I can make it. Is there room for me? My sister lives right down the street. I'd love to take her along if possible but if not I'll see her after. Let me know I know it is short notice. Joe

Hi all,

1. Website for the restaurant is:  http://www.maxwellmaxine.com/maxwells.html.  The road directions on the "directions" webpage is best. We had someone try GPS and they were lost all over Worcester and was 1-1/2 hrs late... suggestion, don't use GPS, use the directions on the website. Restaurant has a big, red British Double decker bus, the building is large brick, next to the Worcester Police station (no bail money required for the brunch... unless someone steals my apple dumplin!)

2. We have had 2 regrets... my spouse :( and.... our fanatic fisherman, my Moderating co-hort in mod crime, JoeF.  So, with that said..... JoeMeehan and sister, you JUST squeeked in! :) (we are only allowed 20 peeps in the private room we have, so we blew that headcount. It's VERY tight in the room.... but, with the 2 cancelled, we now have a replacement Joe in attendance :) )

Updated attendance list below. Is there any other regrets? I have to give final headcount to the restaurant tomorrow (Friday). Please note here or PM me.

I have no BoSox attire. How about a Dallas Cowboy jersey!?
See you all there. If I forget my GPS, I'm in trouble.
Leaving for NH / Boston area tomorrow - will be happy to meet you all.

I'm going neutrally attired.  Want my cell?  We'll be on the road for 2 1/2 hours, so you may call any time after 9:30 for assistance.
See you soon.

Enjoy it everyone.    Maybe I'll make the next one to meet all of you.     I've "been told" that I'm staying home for the weekend and just relaxing which is fine by me.     Of course, Maxwells with 24 AN patients compared to three kids at 12,9, and 2.5 chasing each other around the house is probably a wash in terms of the relaxation factor.         Have fun!!!!

How you feelin', Steve?  Any residual effects of brain surgery?  ;D 
Anyway, the potholes are the issue, not the overstimulation at either event.
Thinking of you, and see you at the next one.
