PF 2003 - Arrangements
Pipe down and listen up!
I've agreed to try to put together some info regarding get-togethers that the crowd on this forum would like to have at PF 2003. If anybody is uncomfortable with that arrangement please feel free to let me and everyone else know right away. I have no delusions of grandeur and you're not gonna hurt my feelings.
Here are the suggested plans so far:
1st get-together
===============
Day: Thursday
Place: Smoky Mountain Brewery & Restaurant
Information: www.smoky-mtn-brewery.com/smb/index.htm
Time: 4:00 pm
2nd get-together
===============
Day: Saturday
Place: International House of Pancakes
Information: http://ihop.know-where.com/ihop/cgi/...00486&address=
Time: 7:00 am
These are the places and times based on the best information I have right now from other FTE'rs. Neither the places nor the times are set in stone. If anyone has good or bad info on the places or times listed please post your information here.
Once I can forge some sort of consensus I'll create a poll asking who is planning on attending each or both of the get-togethers.

Perfect George. Do you offer a gulfcoast tour package? 
I assume it is OK to bring minors into a Brew Pub in TN since they serve food? Mrs. 'fenders is pretty young you know. You can repeat that in front of her next month if you like.

I'll be at the breakfast Saturday morning provided I don't oversleep. It's going to seem like 6am since I'm on Central Standard Time. Ugh! Maybe I should just stay out all night. On that note, will anybody be heading out for some frosted barley pops Friday evening? I can't make Thursday night's gathering.

It is possible that it could even be Friday night instead of Thursday. Have to find out when folks are going to arrive. We just threw out some ideas to get this started. Hopefully we can have some firm plans within a few days.

we (me, wife, daughter, s-i-l and grandson) plan on coming in sometime thursday afternoon/evening... so we'll probably miss the thur get together... be there till Sunday a.m.
I'm staying at the comfort inn (Apple Valley) out toward Sevierville by the apple barn restaurant... much less crowded and more quiet there...
planning on the Sat a.m. get together for sure... and the Friday evening thing sounds good too if we can get something together
later

I'm looking for info on restaurants, etc. if anybody has anything. I've never been to PF so I don't have any experience with the local cuisine. If you don't speak up now then you better not be doing no whining about the selections.
Since this is the place to air opinions I'm suggesting we add a Friday evening get-together due to the number of folks who can't make the Thursday eats. The third (and only other) restaurant I've seen mentioned is the Apple Barn Restaurant. Any other suggestions welcome and encouraged.
Pending other input, that puts the arrangements like this:
1st get-together
===============
Day: Thursday
Place: Smoky Mountain Brewery & Restaurant
Information: www.smoky-mtn-brewery.com/smb/index.htm Kids are welcome.
Time: 4:00 pm
2nd get-together
===============
Day: Friday
Place: Apple Barn Restaurant
Information:
Apple Barn Restaurant
240 Apple Valley Road, Sevierville
865-428-1222
Time: 4:00 pm
3rd get-together
===============
Day: Saturday
Place: International House of Pancakes
Information: http://ihop.know-where.com/ihop/cgi/...00486&address=
Time: 7:00 am

Looks good, I'll shut up for a while. You aren't going to make it perfect for everyone. John and others said Friday and Saturday are best days at PF so I imagine the current schedule is about as accomodating as it is going to get. Just as long as we all get to see John eat pancakes, I'm good with it.

George,
there is another place... Used to be Allen Jacksons Grill but has changed now to the Heartlander (part of the Heartlander Hotel)
We've done breakfast there (A.J.s) in the past and they have a large open room.. I'lll check with them this week and see if they are obliging..
Applewood might ?? don't know about party size and that 4pm time would work better with them also I think... I've waited two hours for a meal there before and it was worth it...good home cooking
more later

I suggest we keep thursday night and friday night and the size of the gatherings will just get bigger. frankly, if anybody wanted to get together wednesday night, I'm for it since i'll be there tuesday afternoon to see the cruise come in, do some sight seeing wednesday, and I'll be looking for somebody to talk about old trucks.
George, I appreciate you taking the bull by the horns to try to get us together.

OK. I'll wait a day or so and see if there are any other suggestions and also find out what John has to say about alternate restaurants. Then I'll put up another summary. Probably add the third get-together back in.
The 4:00 pm times were chosen to "beat the rush" since most of these places won't take a reservation for a larger group. I have some concerns about Saturday morning since the store manager I spoke with at IHOP said they seat 100 but that morning is one of their busiest times. She suggested 7:00 am would be better than later in the morning. Originally she suggested 6:00 am (when they open) but I thought that might be a little to early for some folks.
