Drinks with Talldrink in SD this week
Adrian Tropical (Malecon) will prepare a table for us inside, but if there is space outside when we arrive we can ask to be moved out there. They don't take reservations for the deck area, unfortunately. Let's also hope the rain gods are on our side, and if not, we'll have a space inside anyway. 
Eleven people said they'd be there, so to allow for the inevitable no-shows and unscheduled appearances, I've reserved a table for twelve: 7:30/8:00, in the name of DR1.

7 girls and 3 guys? Not sure if mirador is a man or a woman. 2 guys are already married so I guess robert will have his hands full. Do you all need more man power?Chirimoya said:
with only 25 posts (this one included) and you folks already have a date, time, and already more interesting folks that a 500 post NYC reunion. Hahahahaha. You NYC folks should learn something from them.

I would have come if DMS (dave) was going to come, because he would have been my ride. It so happens, he could only come on thrusday so I guess I am left rideless. I work till 6pm so it makes no sense to drive all the way to SD and risk blowing up a tire, if not ruining up the whole suspension, hitting a pot hole on high speed. I have to work tomorrow morning. So I will pass. Lets just work on the santiago indian cookfest, only if he damn rains stop.juanita said:

Shame. I was going to ask you if you had any lime pickle to spare.
And we could have done some planning for the Indian cooking event, over our plates of 'bland Dominican food'.
Hang on a minute, did I see you say 'delicious Dominican cooking' in that other thread?

So sorry you two couldn't make it, Naufrago.
Where was Jan?
We had a great turn out: apart from those on the list we had last-minute appearances by andrea2k, 2dlight, Jezebel and a near miss with tiguerita who stopped by to say hello, having sat at another table for most of the evening! Several posters brought friends as well.
I enjoyed myself, hope everyone else did too. Wish I'd managed to speak to more people for more time though. Next time, perhaps?
AZB, - it was a pleasure talking to you but pity we got cut off. One of us should start a thread about the proposed Santiago Indian evening.
Robert - what about that 'mod for a day' idea? :laugh:

Siempre problemos
Two problems why I didn't come. First had the gripe and second didn't have money. I didn't get out for a few days to sell some jewery cause I was feeling down so ran out of money.
I was thinking about you all there if that means anything.
But a good thing happened this day..I finally got my water hooked up. Only been almost 2 years without running water. Feels good to take a real shower again and to turn on the llave and have water pour out. Life is good!

I had been planning a trip this week to the DR and would have liked to have come to the dinner had I been there but instead, I am on a cruise ship. Tomorrow, I will be in San Juan and will wave to all my DR1 buddies across the sea.
Talldrink, drop me a line when you get back to NJ.

Geez Jan, no running water for 2 years??? No money; not even to go to Santo Domingo?
I realize that your post was intended for the "talldrinkers", but this is a public forum, so...
And I could not help jumping when I read your post! Geez! Well, I will not comment too much... but I thought you wrote in some other post that you enjoyed life in DR? Without water and money? Huh!? My mind is spinning!
The group just keeps growing!!
Great gathering!!
Many new faces and revelations: all this time I thought Mirador was a lady, but turned out to be another great guy! We already planned the next DR1 reunion, a BBQ at my place on the 29th, so write it down in your agendas people!!

Chirimoya said:Are you trying to hijack it into the Indian cooking event? As long as juanita's OK with it - let it be so.
I can bring on on the brinjal aloo, or sag paneer, but I'm desperate for some lime pickle.
We can make it an international BBQ, Spiced meat, falafel and BBQ chicken wings....
