Home Stretch - making plans

We're in the home stretch, the kids are working hard. We hope you all can come see them perform tomorrow, they need an audience!

Mr. Odom had asked me to look into places to go out to dinner after the competition. It will be 5-5:30 before we're done at the college, and it's such a long ride home, we find it's fun to go out together and eat and celebrate (or wallow in our misery, whatever.)

I've looked around and identified several places - our favorite place we went two years ago is no longer in business - but there are two main streets on our way to the highway that have a lot of chain restaurants that will be just as good.

I'd like to be able to call ahead, and make sure they can handle a crowd - so I need to know two things from everybody:
1. if you will be driving yourself, will you be coming to dinner with the group?
2. would you prefer a buffet like Golden Corral or a sit down place like Applebees or O'Charley's (or Chili's, or Logan's).

You can post a comment here, or email me directly!
