If its a sitdown dinner and nice atmosphere ya want 
, there are lots of places close by. I'll point you in the right direction. It all depends on what the majority wants more. Across the street as I said, it's a regular bar with low end beer & liquor, but they also have lotsa food if you're into Coney Island hot dogs and hamburgers and all kinds of other stuff. 
The place is one of the best known places for cheap greasy food. It's where the Reading Phillies hang out... so it gotta be good........
I'm putting a time limit on how late I stay out that night.... only because of all the things I want to make sure will be ready the next morning at the shop. I'll probably stop by midnight to go home and see everyone bright and early the next day for breakfast at the shop. We'll be setting up for breakfast for everyone before we start. As people come in... my guys and myself will be handling that, while the different vendors and demo people will be doing their thang throughout the two days.
We're still getting demos organized. Someone asked me if I had been planning this since last year's mixer.... sure wish I had done that, but since we said we'd do it.... it's coming together quite well. I'll be calling on some people for the help they all volunteered for doing certain things soon.
