It was great seeing everyone and I look forward to February's meetup.

it was nice to see many of you guys again. Hopefully this 11 degree weather will leave us soon, so we can start riding again.

well, smoking was permitted throughout the place, there was no designated smoking area. We could smell the smoke as we were walking into the bar, but overall it wasn't too bad. I did move since there was someone smoking directly behind at the bar.

I just spoke with the party organizer of Shenanigans about members' concerns of the facility being smoky. She told me that it doesn't normally get smoky until midnight or so. She did say that they have three smoke eaters and that if we had any problems with the smoke, she would turn them all on high and they 'suck the smoke right out". She assured me that they would accommodate us as much as possible because they wouldn't want any of us to be inconvenienced due to the smoke.

For those of you who have an issue with a smoker friendly place... don't worry... nitsuj said it best in his email... "That would mean they have a place to smoke away from the dining room. It's still against the law in this state to smoke in a restaurant. They probably have a covered patio like Primantis in Cranberry does. It won't be bothering the diners." Sooo ya'll have to come up with a better excuse not to come! LOL!
