I had an idea. What if after PKI closes for the season some of us PKI fans meet at a restaurant, eat, and watch PKI-inspired TV including:

1. The BRADY BUNCH Kings Island Episode (which I have on tape)

2. The PARTRIDGE FAMILY Kings Island Episode (which I have on tape)

3. Other PKI appearances on The Travel Channel & Discovery Channel (which I have).

We could all meet at Siam Orchid Thai Restaurant in Alexandria, KY on a Sunday after PKI closes for the season. On Sundays, the restaurant has a dirt cheap all you can eat Chinese and Thai buffet which I think is under $6. It normally costs money to rent the "party room" which has a TV and VCR. However, since the owner-chef and I are friends, it'd only cost the price of the individual buffets. Plus, if enough people show interest...I'll make a tray of my famous lasagna and place it with the Thai & Chinese buffet.

Anyone interested? We can all talk about how much we miss PKI, watch KI-inspired TV, and munch on Thai, Chinese, and Italian food for low prices. Let me know.

Sincerely,

The Italian Chef

That'd probably be pretty cool. I wonder what other's think.

i'm all for it... i dont know aobut hte sunday after, i would think sometime later in the year... maybe halfway between closing day and opening day... to clear the "off-season blues" we will all have by then... But yeah, sounds like a great idea Chef! I'm excited to meet fellow pki enthusiasts!

Sounds great Chef! The only problem would be that most people seen to live somewhere between Mason and Dayton, so it would be a long drive. But hey, living 20 mins from you, I'm all for it. The plan sounds good as far as the resteraunt goes, but we'll have to get people to commit to bringing their videos. I would recommend doing it in January which is the heart of the off-season blues.

Souds cool but I proably Wouldn't go to far away

I will go since I live no more than 5 mins away from Boddah, I have these PKI videos.

wooooow! No one said that you were invited! j/k Yeah, the plan is to have it between the 03 and 04 seasons, I believe.

Sounds like a cool idea, Chef.

I will talk to my friends, the owners of Siam Orchid, this week about reserving their party room. How does Sunday, January 11th, 2004 or 1/18 sound?

Please let me know.

Sincerely,

Italian Chef

1/18 is my 21st birthday, Chef. If it's that day you're SO getting me drunk.

Boddah,

I CAN get you drunk at Siam Orchid. Every time I go there after 8 PM the owners and I share wine....so much so that I need a designated driver. You'd better be sure you have one on your birthday!

Cheers!

If it is on the 21st, you guys have to come. I'd love to spend by b-day with PKICers!

Boddah,

If you SERIOUSLY want it on your birthday...let me know. I can reserve the restaurant for that day.

Have a groovy day!

Italian Chef

:chef:

I'm not saying that I seriously want it on that day, but if it works out that day that that's cool. Make it a day when the majority of the people can be there reguardless of whose birthday it is.

-Ryan

I'll start a poll to ask.

I started a poll to see when people would like to meet at the Thai restaurant after the season ends to watch PKI videos. Please vote.

Sincerely,

Italian Chef

Jimmy,

You can buy the Partridge Family episode on www.bestbuy.com and it comes with FREE delivery. The name of the tape is "Stars in our eyes". I'd be happy to make a copy of The Brady Bunch episode and mail it to you...but I only have 1 VCR. If I find someone who can dub it...it'll contact you.

Have a great day!

Italian Chef

You want a copy of my tour video Chef?

Yes Sir Mr. Dane! That would surely be helpful.

To find out more about this PKIC sponsered event click Here. I hope you all can make it because were going to have a wild time! :cowboy:

In addition to watching PKI videos and dining on Thai & Chinese cuisine...we'll be celebrating Boddah's birthday. Additionally, I think that Dan may or may not discuss his ideas for expanding PKIC. It should be a fun day. Therefore, I hope that people can make it.

Have a great day!
