Ethiopian dinner at Blue Nile

After the last succesful Thai dinner organised by our own rap star Lulu, I got the duty of putting together the next ethnic dinner.

As requested by popular demand this time we are going for Ethiopian in Blue Nile at the Belgradstr. 14. It also seems that Thursdays work better for more people and it doesn't collide with the Friday beer garden, so we are doing this on Thursday 21.Feb.2008.

I still have to ring the restaurant to see how many they can fit comfortably, but for now I'm setting the limit to 20 seats. So sign-up now and secure your place.

For signing up just copy the current list, paste it and add your name at the end. Once we reach the set limit there will be a waiting list.

See you all on the 21st!

The list (which I forgot to add when I posted this):
Panama

As there is no list to copy paste, I will type it in by hand!

Woa, we will even have international guests!! Nice to see you'll be visiting Daisy.

Just a heads up...The Canadian Club has a reservation for over 20 there this Thursday...I don't know the size of the place but it might happen that they can't fit two large groups at the same time.

But this group isn't going this Thursday, so shouldn't be a problem.

Last time there was an over-30s there, thwe group was over 20 people...they put us in the big open-plan corner (can't remember how mny over 20 though, so it's a good number to plan with).

Wow, Panama, you have an almost full sign-up list in under 24 hours...you're a natural talent at this

@Schnucki: we'll try one more time without the bib...if I end up all messy again, it will be YOUR fault.

Anyhow Have fun!!!

Ok, we have now reached the 20 places mark. For the moment being we'll have a waiting list. Just sign up and numbers will be adjusted accordingly. It's looking good.

Panama, the area in the back can hold about 30 people. however its quite popular, so it would be wise to ring up at least 2 weeks in advance and say you have a group of 20+ and want the entire back area. Make sure you speak to Irene, the boss woman. The others are not as switched on as her. She'll probably say the back area can take 35 to 40 people, but that will be a bit of a crush. However I really feel 20 is a bit conservative.

Talked to the restaurant already and they say 25 fit comfortably in the area in the back, they could do 30 but it would be a bit tight. Then according to that information the limit is now set to 25. Also this gives a better chance to mingle around with the rest.

So you're bringing minders with you now.
It won't help! Spills are spills...

It SHOULD help; one of them sure knows how to keep her serviette clean (even when she dines in the dark )

Darn, how did I miss this sign-up list? Guess I have to try to snipe my way up from the waiting list...

...and now you're going to tell us that's how yours ended up quite so erm... soiled.
hmmmm... not buying it!

How many weeks has this joke been running now? Almost worth hiring a surprise stripper for the next event just to provide some fresh material!

about 3 months. Quite a while to keep a joke going; guess we've flogged it to death, thanks for pointing that out tiggi. Since it obviously bothers you, I'm sure we can stop it. Don't know that a stripper would be my idea of a good replacement - the comical aspect of those wore out for me a long time ago. Each to his own I guess.

btw Panama - I am down to just +1 for the waiting list. My other one has to attend the opera that evening, poor love, and may join us for drinkies later

hi all,
I am very new to the forum and this sounds like a great opportunity to meet some of you. Panama, I add myself to the waiting list ok? And I update the list with Ruapeuh's news
Thanks

Thanks.

Hey Panama,

Looks like we wont be able to make it after all...just so happens that I am meeting friends at the other Blue Nile for dinner(this was planned ages ago...before I committed to this event). So I will be enjoying the great Ethiopian food that Blue Nile serves on the same night, just at a different location! Enjoy!

oh i wanna come as well i love injara... damn i live way too far away

well have fun, think of me while you're there...

YAY! I am in!

So, I need 4 people to pull out before I am in...thats a bit depressing . But never mind, my husband has promised me we can have dinner in any place of my choice as a back up plan!

Hope you'll make it Renia, I was looking forward to seeing you again.

Sorry Panama, I won't be able to make it to the dinner, my pet died last week back home..just don't feel like going out mate, would have been nice to
meet everyone, have a great time!

Can't make it I'm afraid...still in the UK!!!
