Damn But I Need A Party!

Debbie Apr 09, 2009 11 Comments

The last few months for my kids and I have been, how shall I put it, challenging???

Hopefully, within the next month, we will have officially changed our last name. Yeah, you know it’s been rough when your whole family feels the need for a major reboot.

Anyway, what I need from ya’ll is a good place for a gathering of twenty or thirty people of all ages where we can eat, celebrate our new last name, celebrate a new beginning, and not have to pay any kind of a fee up front to rent the space. Basically, a restaurant that could accommodate us without having us at a bunch of small tables, maybe just two or three?

Ideas?
