If you want something a bit quieter where you can talk and interact, Tabak Co has a really nice room aside from the bar where some of my friends go. It feels like your own little club, and the bartender is amazing at mixing cocktails. Good beer list too.

Cracker Barrel

If only $39 was raised, I highly doubt anyone visited this restaurant in the hopes of making Nett donate 5% of their bill lol. Family is lucky they’re making $1800 off the promotion.

Martin's Alterations just past the old 160 Grand Prix out south Campbell is always very quick for me.

I don’t know about that one

Omg I should have clarified that it wasn't a BW but another restaurant. I had come to find out many places have hosting fees that they don't show on their websites or anything. I've never hosted a party at BW before. I could probably just call and ask if they still don't do hosting fees for private parties.

Oh shoot. Years ago we had a little gathering and I didn’t pay anything. I’m sorry if this is wrong.

Thank you! Do you know if BW has a pretty big fee to host a private party? The last time I tried to host a private party I wasn't made aware of the hosting fee ($75 isn't a lot if you're prepared to pay that but in the end they decided it was their fault for not informing me and didn't bother with the fee) .

I think he said in his public statement earlier today that he did today.

I like the Dead Kennedy's reference.

Did he deliver the funds? If so, then that is what I meant by resolving the situation. But to my knowledge he has not done that yet. I hope that you're right and I'm wrong, so please correct me if I am.

I might have sympathy for Patrick (as I too am a chronic procrastinator) if not for him allowing his 'supporters' to publicly bash/drag/question the motives of the grieving parents in his own post.

Wanna use your large platform for good - set a good example for our community? Then start by condemning those comments and take full responsibility without mitigation or excuse.

We are planning to have it on Friday since he is leaving this weekend. Do you know if they have anything going on Friday? I tried to look up an event calendar and couldn't find anything :(

Didn't he issue a personal apology to the family and deliver the funds essentially immediately, like within a day, of the story breaking.

I said above "a mea culpa was issues and amends were made"

But you seem to disagree. You claim he needs to "make sufficient effort to resolve the situation", like what else?

I agree he caused hurt to the family. But what can you possible do other than apologize and deliver on what you neglected to do? Seems that's the proper course of action.

Oh weird, I literally just got a jacket hemmed in 2 days last minute the week of Christmas

terrible council

Big Whiskeys downtown has a little private party area on the second level if Lindberg’s couldn’t house your get together.

I expected it. Nothign good ever lasts. I'd prepared myself in advance for this. I just had to realize that as long as my daughter is happy and safe, that's all that matters. My needs are a distant second.

Well that sucks. I'm sorry.

to what end?

I don't think he acted maliciously or that he deserves to be pilloried. But if what we have learned so far is true, there was negligence. Just because there was no malice doesn't mean no harm has been done.

Issuing a Mea Culpa is fine. In one of his statements he said that he takes responsibility. Taking responsibility isn't just saying you are responsible, it's also working to resolve the issue. Going again just on what we have learned so far, he hasn't made sufficient effort to resolve the situation.

There could well be more to the story, so I'm reserving judgement to some degree at this point.

He puts himself out in front of the public eye quite a bit, and he did this publicly. In light of that I think it's fair for the public to expect some accountability for what he himself admits was a mistake.

Yea, I usually do as well. It feels like a waste to buy coffee from places like that often, they're so expensive compared to what it costs to make coffee. I only go there when I have a lot of errands to run and want some coffee halfway through.

Probably because he was the face of the restaurant ever since the Queen City Cycles crew ate there every week. Also odd because Patrick Sr loved his wife and was heartbroken after which is what he claimed led him to retire and “sell out” to the south side.

Lindberg's has a hell of a show Saturday night. Molly Healey, Brandon Moore, and their daughter Annabelle are reuniting on stage. Molly plays with the Ozark Mountain Daredevils and has an impressive solo resume as well (more impressive than her OMD work imo), Brandon has literally a billion projects and people he plays with, Shotgun Brothers and Jalopy being probably the two most well known around here, and Annabelle is already teaching music.

Reservations wouldn't be required, though a heads up to the bar wouldn't be unappreciated, I would guess.
