1760.0. "Another kitty gathering" by MYVAX::LUBY (DTN 287-3204) Tue Sep 13 1988 12:35

    
    
    	Hi,
    
    	Several of us feline noters have gotten together and chosen
    	a day for another Chinese dinner.   Many of us missed the
    	last one due to the location or other personal reasons.  This
    	one is specifically intended for NH noters or those willing
    	to make the trip.
    
    	Place : Hunan Gardens, Merrimack NH, directions posted later
    	Date  : Friday, September 23rd
    	Time  : 6:00 PM (come straight from work, if early, have a drink!)
                                                                    
    	Please send me MAIL (do not reply to this note) if you are
    	interested in attending and I'll count you in.  Spouses and
    	xxxfriends are invited if you think they'd like to come.  Be
    	sure to let me know how many people to make the reservations
    	for.
    
    	After dinner, if we are so inclined, those of you who wish
    	to meet the wild man T.K., and his rolly polly buddy Bandit,
    	are invited to stop by for a visit.  I live only 6 miles
    	from the restaurant.

    ring, ring, ring  !!  Boy, can I bring lots of pictures and show
    off all my babies????   Wow, I may even have the October issue
    of Cats Magazine with both of my girl's pictures in it!!!
    
    
     Gee, I printed the note - was going to send you mail, honest!!!!
    
    Hunan sounds great because I work here in Merrimack.
    I just needed to recheck my schedule for that weekend!
    Saturday I have to check the show hall for the Chalet Show in April/89
    and the show hotel, Sunday I have a show down in Framingham.
    But, Friday night sounds ok - even for only a little while.  I won't
    have to bathe Katenka and Victoria until Saturday night because
    the show is on Sunday, so I can scoot out Friday night for a while.
    Still have to pack the show stuff on Friday night because I will
    be gone most of Saturday day!!  
    
    It will be fun to see everyone's cats & their owners!!

    	Directions....
    
    	From the South :
    
    	Take Rt 3 north to exit 7 (The first of the two exit 7's)
    	At top of exit, go thru the light onto Rt 3.  Follow this
    	till you reach a light where you can't go straight.  Take
    	a left.  About 2 miles up you will pass Harris Pond.  About
    	1/2 mile after that, on your left is the entrance to the
    	Hunan Gardens, and The Club.
    
    	From the North :
    	
    	Take Everett Tpke to the toll booth exit.  I'm not too familiar
    	with this exit but you want to head in the opposite direction
    	of the MKO plant so I think you have to go under the highway.
	At the lights, where you can't go straight, take a right.  
    	You will pass the Anheiser-Busch Plant (O.K. so I can't spell)
    	on your left, Sanders, and a few other companies.  The entrance
    	to the Hunan Gardens, and The Club is on your right eventually.
    	It might be hard to see but if you pass Harris Pond you've gone
    	too far.
    
    	Let me know if any of you have a problem with my wonderful
    	directions.

1760.10the reservations have been madeMYVAX::LUBYDTN 287-3204Thu Sep 22 1988 12:5217
    
    
    	Hi,
    
    	I made reservations for 12 people for tomorrow at 6:00 PM.
    	If you are going and have any questions, just type them in
    	here and I'll answer them.
    
    	If anybody else wants to go, you can send me mail up until
    	tomorrow afternoon since there will be no problem expanding
    	the reservation.          
    
    	Until then!
    
    	Karen
    
    	P.S.  PLEASE DON'T FORGET TO BRING LOTTSA PICTURES!

    If anyone works close by, and would like to get there a little
    early, I'll probably be there around 5ish (I work at MK).  Karen
    will probably be there around 5:30.

1760.12late nighter or early night?TPVAX3::ROBBINSThu Sep 22 1988 18:498
    
    
              Can someone let me know how late you guys are intending
    to stay there?  I may be able to go if I get the right answer :^)
    No problem though I'm sure they'll be another time and after all
    I'd be bringing my non-decie husband (snicker).

    Kim,
    
    I've got 5 babies at home, so I'm planning on an early night.  And
    if anyone wants to stop over to play with the cutest baby kittens
    on Earth, feel free!!

    re:12  I would think you can stay as long as you have time for -
           There probably isn't any time limit.  
    
    re: 13  Mary, Mary, Mary, Mary - do you by some slim chance have
            any ulterior motives behind your casual inocent invitation?????

    re: 14  Moi??  Never!!  It's just after a long week, what's better
            than a little kitten who's eyes are like sequins and who
            likes to lick your nose and snuggle into your neck???? 
            Just wear clothes without pockets!  Besides, they're only
            6 weeks old and are too young to leave their Mom.  You can
    	    only look and cuddle...heh heh heh...

    I spent $21 on film and flash to take lots of pictures of my three
    babies and wouldn't you know it.......
    
    THE CAMERA DOESN'T WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    I checked the batteries and they work so I know it is the camera
    AGAIN......
    
    I do have a picture of Lightning and DejaVu but don't have one of
    Thunder.  Does this mean I can't come tonight??
    
    Actually I have lots of pictures of kitties but they are the ones
    I received from various people in felines.
    
    I also have a copy of `BANDITS LATEST ANTICS' for anyone who hasn't
    read it.
    
    See you tonight.

    I will have to stay away from those beauties - someone is coming
    to see my snow blower tonight, which is for sale, so I need to
    be home by 7:30.  Tonight is pack-for-show night, bathe-a-few-of-
    the-five-babies-for-show-sunday,vacuum,laundry,swimming pool,etc.
    anyhoo, see ya all later on.

1760.18Kitty Pix tonight, yea!!!SWAT::COCHRANEI never blink.Fri Sep 23 1988 13:5711
    My kitties were *most* uncooperative for the 35mm, but the Polaroid
    was too fast for 'em!!  Of course they thought Mom had bought the
    farm what with me wandering around all evening going, "Let Momma
    take your picture...."
    
    I'll have to stop over and see Mary's kittens.....and I've been
    thinking about expanding cat max to three too....oh dear...
    
    See you tonight!!

    	Hi everyone,
    
    	I imagine that we will be at the restaurant until about 8 PM.
    	I know that several who are attending can't stay very late.
    
    	Elaine has to leave at 7:00 and so we should probably all
    	arrive on time so that she can order and enjoy her dinner.
    	If you want cocktails before dinner, try to get to Hunan
    	at 5:30 or so.   I'll get there around 5:30.  I just realized
    	that I forgot to get my pictures together so I'll have
    	to do that on my way, otherwise I'd get there sooner.
    
    	Well, we lost one attendee but picked up two more so we're
    	up to 13 people attending tonight.  Somebody want to make
    	this 14 so that we aren't jinxed???                  
    
    	And for those of you who really got a kick out of Bandits
    	Latest Antics, well, you're invited to stop by my place
    	to meet him.  You'd never know that he is the same cat
    	he is so well behaved now.  But T.K.!!  Well, you have to
    	see him to believe him.  Maybe he would even fetch for 
    	you!
            
    	See you tonight.  I'll try to check in here once more
    	today for any other questions but I can't guarantee it so
    	if you have anything urgent, send mail!
    
    	Karen

    Gee, don't mess up your plans because of my having to leave
    early!!  I just hope I get to meet you all - at least i
    won't be at a d&*&^n cat show and like a crazy person!
    semi-crazy, anyhow - I'm planning on eating - so I
    won't have to bother later on - the snow blower person
    said he would be there just before 8 so that should give
    me a bunch of time.

    	Hi,
    
    	Everyone who didn't attend dinner last Friday at the Hunan
    	missed a good time!!  We all got to see pictures of E.T.s
    	many cats, and even a couple of nice 8 by 10's of her
    	champion, Katenka!  What a pretty cat!
    	
    	Edd was the only one who dared to stop by and meet my two
    	maniacs!  Together, they mangled his tie, and T.K. happily
    	demonstrated his many tricks.  T.K. is an expert at fetching,
    	fishing, and squeezing into small spaces.  Maybe Edd will
    	tell you all about it!

    A good time was had by all - it sure is nice to put faces to
    words on a screen!  I saw the most beautiful babies ever!
    Hope we can do it again soon.
    
    Thanks to Kare for setting it up!

1760.25It's twue, schatzy, it's twue...JAWS::COTEHe's baaaaaaaack....Mon Sep 26 1988 15:5724
    ...met both of Karen's cats.
    
    Bandit would probably be a wild man if he could, but he is sooooo
    huge that it's just too much work. Compared to petite little aja,
    this guy is a moose! Nonetheless, he was certainly up for a rousing
    game of "Chase The Tie"!
    
    T.K., on the other hand, is the consummate show-off. Firstly, he
    went and got his prized collection of beer caps and displayed them
    for me. NOTHING will keep T.K. from fetching a beercap, not even
    placing it at the bottom of a glass of water!! He just reaches right
    in and gets it!
    
    Then Karen brought out her trash can. (C'mon Karen, most people
    would have offered a beer....;^)). It's probably a foot high, 9"
    wide at the top and 5" at the bottom. T.K. jumped right in (head-
    first!) and turned around. A couple minutes later we both wondered
    what the tapping noise was. It seems T.K. was intent on scratching
    himself without getting out of his abode.
    
    Trust me, whatever Karen writes about these two is true.
    
    Edd (who showered before aja got a whiff of strange kitties)

    But Gary,  the new addition is SOOOOOOOO adorable....
    
    RE . ALL
    
    I was very glad (and honored) to be able to attend such an
    illustrious gathering.  Yes, it is nice to put faces to names.
    
    I saw some beautiful pictures of cats and kittens and had a very
    enjoyable meal.
    
    I was sorry not to be able to meet T.K. and Bandit but I had a 
    long drive and children waiting for me.  Maybe the next time.....
    
    There IS going to be a next time, isn't there??????
