Also, did any of you gents try the AMAZING German place down the street?

A few people went on Friday night, but they're still waiting to get their food.

hehe. That restaurant, Schnitzel Platz, does look neat. They were featured on a local tv show called Check Please earlier in the year. They serve beer in a large boot shaped glass. :P

SignofZeta: What a quintessentially PCEFX thread. Someone complains about nothing, multiple Bible-length posts discussing who's a bigger a$$hole follow. You're both pretty big a$$holes. Let's call it a tie.

They also take 5-7 hours to prepare your meal.

Added in edit: Obviously I'm very slightly exagerrating. But I had an experience there where it was around 3 hours from arrival to when the entree was served and stops by the waiter less frequently than every hour prior.

I still say you give it another shot.  Especially with some turbob brethren to chat about gaming if the wait is too long.  :)

I've been there twice before (VGS 2010 and 2011) and NEVER had that problem with the place.   Food was AMAZING, Beer was epic, and the service was top notch.

Dan, I will kidnap you and bring you there!!!   :twisted:

Sorry I wasn't able to make it (again!) this year, guys! My car had no brakes at all and needs a tow to the repair shop... I really need to get another car!

Oh yeah? How much are you willing to spend? Brake line rupture, no brake pressure at all ? If you're not too far from me, I might be willing to fix it. I'd have to take a look and depending on the problem, determine what parts to buy, head to Autozone/Advance Auto Parts, have you buy the parts, come back, do the job on the spot, and charge you for labor. I've done brake jobs for my neighbors, brake line/pipe ruptures (one cause) or leaks at either the caliper piston or the cylinder in the case of rear drum designs. Also changed two transmissions with a freelance mechanic that I learned from for a Nissan Sentra and a Toyota Corolla.

Anyway, lemme know if you're interested. I'll take that tow money from ya instead! ;) If you need the car back in service right away, then a freelance repair offer like this is not the way to go, but yeah. Offer is there. Thing is, if your car is old and the brake lines are garbage (rusted to shit), full replacement to give you security is not fun having to do on the street where it's parked, but it's doable. If a caliper is leaking, it's gotta be replaced, that's gonna be more money and we can change the pads while we're at it to tighten the brakes up a bit - pipes are very cheap, but gotta be bent into place, cut and used with compression unions.

Guys:

Here's the group shot from dinner - tried to enhance it a little bit as it was really dark at that point. I believe this was just about the whole PCEFX crew that was there sans maybe one or two people. I'm on the far left in the red shirt.

L7 name was Josh (thanks Chany) and Tggodfrey woman is Jessica...lol

It really was chatbox in real life.  We need to do this more often.  Maybe once a month or every couple months get together at someones house for Pizza and a night of gaming.
