Columbia NCC Social New Fall Location Poll - VOTE NOW!!!!

[pseto]

Just wanna gauge whether we need to move the Columbia social in September to a new location. We've had our biggest turnouts at PubDog and I consistently hear a lot of great feedback about it; especially since we now have a dedicated parking area. However, I know some are tired of a menu with only pizza.


Here are the choices:
1) PubDog - why change a good thing?

2) Champps - back to an old favorite at Columbia Mall and the top of the parking garage

3) Pizzeria Uno's - new location at the Mall, next to Champps
http://www.unos.com/

4) Rams Head Tavern - Savage Mill; new location, plenty of parking
http://www.ramsheadtavern.com/savage/index.html

Poll will end Aug 12th and winner announced at the August Columbia social at PubDog.

Please note we have chosen these 4 places based on past experiences and member's suggestions. IMO all locations have quality food and good parking (although some better than others). These will be the only locations considered, so please cast your votes accordingly. Any other suggestions may/may not be used for future socials.

BTW, if I cant strike a deal with the winner to host our event, then i'll have to try with whoever finished #2, etc

Uno's.



I like pizza. I'm from Chicago. Uno's is close enough to the real thing to satiate me.

finally some love for Uno's. i cant say its the best pizza, but its decent. plus, they have a pretty wide range of different foods to eat.

i think i'll hold off on voting till the very last minute; maybe i'll break a tie or something

since we usually have about 40+ people at the Columbia socials, I'm hoping to have that many people cast their votes. let's go people, vote, vote, vote!!!

Parking at Ram's Head is no problem at all. It has a large overbuilt and underutilized lot. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UT...51cda8c4f4df3c The upper sections are perpetually empty, we'd have nothing but Bimmers. Good food, great beer (Fordham, you may have heard of it), and lots of space. Outdoor seating when the weather's nice, three different levels inside, free appetizers before 7, comfortable, decent lighting, and not so loud that you can't hear yourself think.

Champps has taken the early lead....we do need more voting though, especially to figure out 2nd place


vote people!!!

Dang, that's what I was thinking because all the choices are great. Concerns over the parking at Savage Mills is valid unless you are on the back lot, and even then it can be tough to find spots if there is a big party or wedding reception. Maybe Thursdays are clear of that sort of issue.

You could go all corporate on them and hit all of them up and see who gives you the best deal.

Well, that sounds like a winner. I find it baffling that any business would not be dying to get a group like this every month. They surely make a bunch of money on those nights.

Side note: The last last gathering was just as much fun as the first one I attended, even if it was a smaller group. My only regret is that I had to bug out early. I started feeling worse and worse as the indoor gathering went on. Went to the Doctor the next evening, and it turns out I had a pretty severe infection going on in my foot and ankle from (of all things) a spider bite while at work. I didn't even know I had been bitten. Go figure.
