Personally, that sounds fine as posted, keeping in mind ...

Knowing our group, it seems like the big demand is to kick back and
socialize during the evenings. Light entertainment is always good, like
Rudy or Baton, but as I look ahead, a "show-show" isn't really a great
need, for me, anyway.

IMAO, that worked out fine last year. I was afraid that I would get
skewered for that choice for a while, though. When I phoned for
reservations, they warned me that the liquor license was relinquished
for the time being and I was afraid I would have 16 cold-sober people
glaring at me over dinner. When I arrived there (I went early to catch
people and redirect them to a couple bars if they wanted a drink) I
found two of our people happily sitting at the bar, drinking their own
stuff, and shooting the sh^H^Hbull with the bartender who was providing
the mixers.

Sidetracks is fine. GentryOnH is fine too. I'll go with the flow. There
are a number of other places up there I would like to try as well.

Just be sure that Dave Matthews is not playing in town that night. :) :)

And doing a great job too! Thanks. (Be careful, you might just get
drafted for DLV!) :) :)
