Details:

Please join us for the World Famous Chinese Dinner and Limo Extravaganza- Shop Owners, Employees, Suppliers, Sales Reps all are welcome.

TUESDAY January 27, 2015 7 PM

We ride together to an authentic Chinese Restaurant well off the strip. We meet in the lobby of the PARIS Hotel. Details will be included with your tickets.

Here are the "rules"-

We try to sit at tables of 10.

I ask that you please DO NOT sit next to someone you came with. It is OK for them to be at the same table, but the idea is to sit next to people you do not know.

Each person orders an entrée of their choosing and they get first helpings of that entrée. Then it goes on the lazy susan for all to share. Order whatever you want to eat and drink (including beer and wine). Believe me, no one has ever gone home hungry.

At the end of the night, the restaurant will total the check PER TABLE and add a gratuity. Please ROUND UP the check to an amount easily divisible by the number of people at the table and that is your share. None of this, "but you had two beers and I only had egg rolls."

The MOST EXPENSIVE table in the history of this event has been $28 per person. Some tables have been as low as $18 for all you can eat and drink.Including tax and tip!

You MUST send in the reservation form which is NON REFUNDABLE. If you can't come, you can try to sell your ticket on the Grumble or at the WCAF but I will not refund purchases once they are made. First come, first served. We always sell out.

I will keep a running, updated list. Please do not post on this thread asking me to hold seats. Download the form and send it in.

Unless you live abroad, you must also include a check. As a courtesy to those living abroad, I will hold seats for you and you can pay me the night of the event.

Yes, you MUST book a reservation and ride in the limo (or pay the fee and take a cab if you are claustrophobic). The limo is $20 per person round trip.

Those who have attended before, please do not give out the address so people can drive there on your own.
 
Rob, thanks for doing this again, this year.

If anyone has ever heard the term "herding cats", well, watching Rob try to get independent framers in a line to get on the limo is something like that.

I consider Rob's extravaganza the Framing Social Event of the year. Every year I meet new friends, see old friends, and yes, also eat Chinese food of such variety I have never ever seen. If you have never gone, you are missing a wonderful experience.

PS: you get to see a totally different side of Las Vegas.
 
Thanks for the kind words, Russ. Looking forward to being with you again in January.
 
I'd like to thank you for doing this, too.

Unfortunately, Andy and I won't be able to make it this year. We will be at the show, but are already committed for dinner that night with a vendor.

I did up a quick graphic for it: :)
