Change in Plans

There has been a change in plans for the group meeting up for dinner in Nashville.  I am posting this here simply because this is VERY important and I need to make sure everyone coming sees this message.  If you chat with anyone who is coming, make sure they have seen this message.

I couldn’t find any restaurant that had space available for us to all eat on Saturday evening.  We could get into a place, but we would be scattered around the restaurant and, well, where is the fun in that?  So instead I went ahead and booked a banquet room at the Hampton Inn where everyone is staying.  I think this will work out MUCH better than planned.  I will personally go and pick up a few variety cheesecakes from the Cheesecake Factory for us to have for dessert and we can order pizza as a group and get soda’s from the hotel.  This will be MUCH cheaper in the long run and we can sit and talk for hours on end without waiters interrupting us.  I do ask that you plan on chipping in for the cheesecake.  It’s usually about $5 for a piece and they are HUGE slices and well worth the money.  TRUST ME!  I’m not going to take specific orders for cheesecake – I’ll just get the variety wheel that has several different kinds.  I do need to know, though, if someone doesn’t want cheesecake and would rather have chocolate cake instead.  Pel is deathly allergic to cheesecake, so I will be getting her something else for dessert.  If you would like chocolate cake instead of the cheesecake, let me know and I will pick you up a piece. 

So, just to make sure we have all the details…

We will meet at The Hampton Inn near the Mall at Green Hills where the book signing will take place.  The address is:

2324 Crestmoor Road, Nashville, TN 37215
Tel: 615-777-0001

Meet in the lobby of the hotel around 5:30.  Bree…Freesia…get there when you can.  At that time we will order a few pizzas and get settled in for a fun evening of Twilight conversation and laughter.  Pel and I have a few things planned in the way of games – including prizes and such.  We will have the room until 11:00 that night.  Bring your cameras and maybe even your pillows and we can just sit back and relax and have fun. 

I hope that is okay for everyone.  Believe me, I tried EVERYTHING I could think of before booking this room.  I think this will be better for us and we will have an even better time in a less formal setting.  I can’t wait to meet you all and SQUEEE with you in delight!
