Year of the Dog Meetup!

Sat February 3 at 1:00 PM, Szechuan Taste
6404 Tryon Rd, Cary, NC, USA (Map & Directions)
The arrival of the Year of the Dog seems as good an excuse as any to have a meetup!
Lunar New Year falls on February 16, so let's have a meetup in February.
I am leaning towards Szechuan Taste in Cary, but welcome all suggestions!

Saturday the 18 is going to be rough because it’s the first weekend after Lunar New Year. The place is going to be packed with extended families celebrating the new year.

The last weekend is also not great for me, but pretty wide open other than that.

So if we're going to avoid the actual LNY weekend, and the last weekend in Feb is not good for some folks, can we push it to early March? Or try for pre-new year on the 2/10 or 2/11?

Hey! Lab tech at UNC, love dance & biking in my free time. Long time MeFi reader but finally sprung for an account. I'd love to join if y'all are okay with (cool) strangers. I'm free the 3rd and the 10th

lentils, all mefites are welcome!
I’ve put up a date and time for meetup, I’ll need a headcount by Thursday.
For those folks who can’t make it, surely this won’t be the only local meetup this year, I hope we have some more meetups proposed!

Ah, I have other plans for the 3rd! I could make the 10th if it's not set in stone yet.

Please update your attending status on the right side of the page - I will be calling in the reservation soon and I will be going by the number marked ‘Attending’. You will not get counted if you only leave a coment in-thread.

Thank you research monkey - both for making the reservation, and for making me aware that what I see on mobile is not what folks see on a desktop. I logged in on a desktop and marked attending. Hopefully this helps other folks.

Oh I see - on mobile it puts “Joining Us?” at the bottom. Man I’m still not used to the new theme I guess.

Maecenas, I don’t think it will be a problem.

Guys, I woke up with a cold. At least, I hope it’s a cold - but with this brutal flu going around I don’t want to risk passing anything along. I’m really sorry to miss it - it’s been too long since I’ve gotten to make a meet up!

Ask for ‘Angela’ - for some reason they didn’t recognize Metafilter

We’re seated at a long table way in the back, past the glass display case

I enjoyed meeting all of you yesterday!
I hope everybody's taste buds are recovered from the ma la assault, especially the Spicy Storm Fish. I wish I'd taken a picture of the table, it looked like bowl after bowl of dried hot chili peppers.
And happy Year of the (Earth) Dog!
