May dim sum GTG?

[LoveTrains]

Oh yes! I am so excited. I am allergic to shrimp/lobster/crab so have never actually done dim sum because I am afraid, but with you there guiding me, hopefully I can find things that won't send me into anaphalytic shock.

I am throwing in a vote for Sunday, May 5th right now because I have a bachelorette party in Boston on the 4th and will be staying overnight already.

[vtdiamond]

Yay, sounds awesome! I picked the 11, 18 & 19. Looking forward to it!

I should be able to make it on May 5th as well, but may have something else going on later that afternoon.

[noodleoo]

Mmm... sounds fun! I can't see the poll so I'll have to check the dates later. May tends to be a busy month and I'm probably traveling for half of it, but I'll try!

[elfinia7]

I've always wanted to try Dim Sum so I hope the date works out

[fuddyduddy]

I am definitely interested! I will probably be unavailable the first two weekends in May, but the 18th or 19th work for me.

[liveintheville]

So I clicked them all for fun. But then realized my kid was born in May and so was my best friend's kid. So I'm a liar and busy 2 of those weekends.

LOL, you crack me up.  You should be able to unclick the bad dates, though.

Edit: also, I imagine we'll be done by 12:30 at the latest if your friend's kid's party starts later.

I know! I'm so freaking scatty. Ok. Unclicked the first 2 dates but I could still probably make it even then. 

But yeah. Way to remember poor L's bday   

[preppy]

I can do any of the days except for May 5th since we have a wedding on the cape:)

Well I left my sister's birthday as an option up there, but that's because we'll probably be taking her out to dinner so it's all good.  I did leave out Mother's Day

Ha! I forgot about that one as well! Though that's much more acceptable than forgetting my kid's birthday.

I should be able to make any of the dates!

[Lilac]

I'm on vacation May 4 - 12th, but I should be free the next weekend. I did dim sum once when I was in LA with a friend who guided us through it - it was fun

[Awkward]

18 & 19 I'll be in DC for my sister's college graduation. I really want to try dim sum!

Ok I added in a vote for Sunday, May 19th!

The only day that I absolutely could NOT come is Saturday May 18th as I have to work. May 18th is Field Day at my school - we all go out to the farm and everyone dresses up in the color of their internal team and then the teams do stuff like tug of war, races, etc. It is from 9 am - 2 pm. It is actually one of my favorite days of the year.

[drloretta]

I can't make the 18th, as DH has an event in RI that day, and apparently we're all going. I'm good for the 19th.

Hmm, looks like the 18th is edging out the 19th by one vote but based on the written responses I think I'm going to go with the 19th. Sorry, Awkward, I know you can't make either of those options but we can do it again another time.

So anyone who wants to come save the date on Sunday 5/19 at 10:30/11:00am. I'll send around a reminder when the date gets closer and will make a call on the time then (more people = earlier time) as well as send around details on where we're going. Yay, I'm excited!

Sounds perfect, thanks for organizing Rock!  I've got it on my calendar!!

[preppy]

Count me in! I am excited:)

[drloretta]

Putting it on my calendar. Send "no illness" vibes between now and then so I can actually come

[LoveTrains]

Woohoo! I am super excited guys.

[rikki]

Can you give me a run down of what types of things to expect? I'm usually an adventurous eater but pregnancy has made me easily adversed to lots of food items.

[liveintheville]

Thanks for organizing, RockNVoll! 19th it is!

[noodleoo]

I can't make the 19th, but I hope you guys have fun! Maybe we can do it again some time. What's on tap for June?

[mswax]

I'm a maybe. I'd love to meet you ladies!

[rikki]

As long as everyone promises not to pee, I'll host a pool party in July.

Damn, you're ruining all my fun!

[elfinia7]

I'll have to wait until Dim Sum Part II happens. I'm out of town that weekend but have fun!

And I am totally game for a pool party in July

[Awkward]

RockNVoll, don't worry about it, I know there will be other opportunities to try it someday!

rikki I am SOOO game for a pool party. My parents haven't opened their pool the last 2 years and I am aching for cool, refreshing, chlorinated goodness.

I think for June fuddyduddy and I should coordinate an NH excursion for anyone interested. Outlet shopping and Queen City Cupcakes!

I never pee in private pools! Just drunken days at AI resorts in the Caribbean.

Certainly! We could have lunch and cupcakes on Elm St. in Manchester and then proceed down to the outlets in Merrimack or meet everyone at the outlets and bring the cupcakes with us (the latter probably makes more sense since most people are coming from the Boston area).

rikki: A pool party sounds like fun!

RockNVoll: Count me in on the 19th!

[vtdiamond]

Ooooh, love the idea of a July pool party! Thanks rikki!!  I am dying to see the crazy murals though

I'm loving the June GTG idea in NH, thanks Awkward and fuddyduddy!!  I need to have one of those cupcakes!
