Steve,

Not all of us have plans tomorrow night. So those who don't, who want to go, why can't we go? Why must we plan around your parties? We can go again soon. It's really not a big deal.

I thought there was a separate contingent going Sunday anyway?

Come on down I've got plenty of pumpkins for everyone. And a Holloweentown marathon - woo hoo!

But, but... you bitch!

(Just kidding.)

If Ken and I miss out this round, then we'll catch the next one.

Get over yourself ISM. It is just a small, hap-hazzard get together. Katella Deli isn't going anywhere soon - we can go again some other time. Heck, we can make it a regular thing.

I know I am not up for a party this weekend (and I haven't been invited to any, so it works out) and I am interested in going. It may only be BTD, Susan and I, and that will be fine.

S & I would not be able to go next weekend (11/3) as we are going to a huge Halloween party then (if the couple who throws it takes a week off before to set up for the party and then another week off after to clean up and recover from said party, I would say it is huge).

Kevy, we've talked about going to the Katella Deli for 2 and half years. It is only now just happening.


I don't appreciate any talk of another one being around the corner ... because it's bullsh!t.


There was talk about the Katella Deli in the Soooo thread, yes BTD started that yummy talk. Then I posted that we should go there soon. And as soon as BTD posted 'let's go Saturday,' I posted that I couldn't make it Saturday, could we please pick another night.



I didn't invent Katella Deli ... but I think it's kinda rude when I suggest doing something, that it's done on a night when I can't do it. I didn't wait a few hours or days to say that night doesn't work for me. I posted that within five minutes of Saturday being suggested.


Sheesh.


Whatthefu<keva!


But don't give me crap about another Katella Deli outting being around the corner. This one is 2+ years in the making.

Dayum....

Seriously, ism, if you want another Katella meet, then you can start one of your own. Truth be told, and I'll say it again, BTD and I were talking about this in IM about doing this on Saturday, before she posted anything about Katella... Thus... it don't matta when you suggested anything, at least not to us and our original plans.

That said, I'm seriously doubting whether anyone's going to end up at Katella Deli. I don't know why, but that's my feeling, especially since we may just try and do something else that would put us in Irvine - completely the wrong direction if we're going to be doing a Katella Deli thing.

On that note, this is all what we make of it, and anyone and everyone who might be reading this - don't make too much of it.

ism, since you've got what sounds like a fun weekend planned and those of us who got left in the dust are just trying to come up with something to do, please give it a rest. You can make another meet of your own choice and time. I live close and could eat there next week, being just as happy. ;) And the week after, and the week after, and the week after...

My apologies erica, and perhaps I missed it, but I don't think there was anything in that thread about you and Marla planning on your own to go to Katella Deli this Saturday. Either of you could have just said so (and thank you for saying so now), and stopped this whole annoyance on my part.

Because otherwise, it looked to me like - in reaction to round 68 of Marla trumpeting the wonders of Katella Deli, I posted in the Soooo thread, 'let's go soon' and she said 'how 'bout Saturday?' No mention that was because you and her were planning on going Saturday.

So I says, 'I'm busy that day, can we pick another night?' Without knowing that you and Marla had privately planned to go on Saturday, it looked to me - again not claiming to have invented Katella Deli - that I sugggested we, as a group, finally do it. And Marla picks a night that I say right away is not good for me.

Without knowing of your previous plans, that just came off kinda rude to me.


Starting a whole new thread about it just rubbed salt in .... especially when the thread is called Saturday/Sunday plans as if we're going to choose between those two days by honest vote ... but there's NO otpion to vote for Sunday.



And Kevy, we're talking about Saturday and Sunday ... nothing to do with next weekend, when you guys have a Halloween party to go to. But rest assured, if I were planning something you and Susan wanted to attend, I would do my best to avoid planning it for a night you were otherwise engaged with a Halloween party.


This whole thing is now obviously a big misunderstanding, and I'm sure some of the perceived slights were not malicously intended. And yeah, not everyone can be available for every thing.

But I sensed a serous drop in the level of common courtesy afforded to friends, and thankfully Erica cleared up that I didn't have the whole picture.


(Still doesn't explain why a Saturday/Sunday choice poll has no options for Sunday. Freudian, perhaps?)

Steve,

This whole thing started between me and Erica. We were going to go there for dinner and started talking about it in the thread. Then we decided to see who else wanted to go. If you can't go, you can't go. Deal with it.

If you wanted to go that badly before then you should have planned a meet for it.

Stricken because I saw your reply to Erica. Not deleted because it still stands.

And Saturday/Sunday was posted because I was at work and was doing two things at once.

Well, there's at least six of us who can't go on Saturday, so that's plenty for another meet. Maybe we should do a seperate poll for Sunday?
