Meet at Cochin??

Sam Kapasi · 11th April 2007, 16:26

Hello Boys,

I'd like to meet with you guys tomorrow evening. Preferably for drinks and dinner. That's Thursday the 12th of April evening. I know I'll be meeting Zak for sure. Anyone else interested?

Sorry it's at such short notice.

hydrashok · 11th April 2007, 16:30

Me, Me, Me!

I'll definitely be there.

I won't be able to stay long [weekday :( ], but I will be there.

nikkibike · 11th April 2007, 18:25

wah!! We all kochi tbhp-ians are eagerly waiting to meet you Sam!! We'll make it a beeeeeeg laugh!! cheers!!

speedzak · 11th April 2007, 22:35

Guys! Please, somebody call all the team-bhpians in Cochin and see if they can participate.

I'm arriving at Cochin only by afternoon. Yes, after Sam reaches.

Think about some venues where Sam can have a nice dinner. Yes, our hotel is always open for him but he would prefer a place where he can gulp down some pints (oops! Bottles) of his favorite brands.
Some suggestions guys?

If you own a hotel, why not reserve a big room & have a blast in it.

Alcohol will not be a possibility in that case.

Yep.

As for the venue, ummm.... uhhh... Loungevity? Or Yuvarani (the seafood hotel with a bar beside Ensign Travels in ERN South)? Formula 1?

I've PMed a few Kochi TBHPians. Will get on the horn tomorrow morning.

EDIT: Loungevity and Formula 1 are out -- no dinner possible there. They serve booze at the Grand, don't they? And some killer seafood for sure. If we all want to get really rowdy and loud the Roof-top bar (open-air setup) at Mercy Estate is a nice place (We have our college get-togethers there). They have pretty good food too. But it has been raining off and on in the evenings since Zak has been away

so that we'll decide based on the weather. Then there's some hotel near the South Railway Station that's supposed to have a good bar and good food (I'll get the name tomorrow).

Wow!! YETI is coming to Cochin(GODs OWN CITY).

SAM, welcome to the world of backwaters n some of the craziest tbhpians...

Hydra, pls let me know the time n venue. I'll try to make it if we are meeting before 6pm. Unfortunately my office hours start at 6pm

.

GRAND will be a great place to meet with the best sea food.
Couple of other good places are Mermaid at Vytilla- good food and bar, Renaissance has a great ambience however crowed during evening hours.

Sam Kapasi · 12th April 2007, 11:03

You know what, it's lovely how warm and enthusiastic you guys are. I'm at the airport now, getting onto the flight.

This will be my first Team-BHP meet in kerala. And I've heard you guys can really drink up a storm. Yay!!

spatafarose · 12th April 2007, 11:23

man i will try to come.. Right now i am not there at cochin.. Will TRY...

archangel · 12th April 2007, 11:55

mermaid may be a good choice. off the city limits and all. quiet place. and maybe you guys can enjoy a dip in the pool there.

speedzak · 12th April 2007, 12:11

Right now, I am at Bangalore airport waiting for my delayed flight to come. Frustrati:

Nice suggestions guys. Please keep an eye for some good places and we can decide according to Sam's necessities!!

The venue for the meet?? Where can we meet up by about 5 - 5:30pm??
As usual, I will suggest Marine drive end. Any other options?

Kphilip!! We need somebody who can accompany Sam in his gulping instincts. I am sure you'll be a good company.

Not really. The bunch we have cannot do justice to that reputation - they're all good lil boys.

Enjoy your stay.
