September 2008 Utah Blogger/Geek Dinner at My Thai (Thursday, September 4, 2008) - Upcoming
September’s Utah Geek/Blogger Dinner is this Thursday, September 4th, 2008 at 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
We are having it at My Thai, which is a new Thai restaurant in the Salt Lake Area. They have EXCELLENT food and the owners are so nice. When I asked her if it would be a problem if we invaded and took up her whole restaurant on a Thursday night, she looked grateful instead of annoyed. Yeah!
Here’s a link to a review of the restaurant:

We literally took over Neil’s Halibut yesterday at the Utah Geek/Blogger Dinner. We had at least twenty people there and maybe closer to thirty. Here are some photos:

May’s Utah Geek/Blogger Dinner is this Thursday, May 22, 2008 at 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM.
We are having it at Neil’s Halibut and Broiler, which is a little more casual than we’re used to (order at the counter and bring it to the table, fill your own drinks). It is, however, excellent food, on the south side of the Salt Lake Valley, so our buddies from Provo can attend as well.
Here’s a link to a review of the restaurant:
