I have no problem being lined up at the gates before 8am and making a mad dash to the restaurant. There is also other options off-site or at La Brea Bakery at DTD. Let me know as we're running out of time to make a decent reservation. Thanks!

Originally Posted By cmpaley >>What do you mean easter as celebrated in the 'western church?' Is there another type of easter celebrated on the east side? I mean, easter is a time when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ as told in the bible..<< First, a little distinction...a homily is a speech about specific bible readings and a sermon is about any other topic of the faith. This will be a sermon. In the history of the Church, a question arose relative to the date when Easter (or Pasch) would be celebrated. It was decided by the Bishop of Rome, who was commonly believed to hold supremacy, that Easter is observed on the Sunday after the first full moon on or after the day of the vernal equinox (the first day of Spring) and the Gregorian Calendar. This created a controversy and the Eastern Patriarchates rejected this and kept it connected closely with Passover and the Julian Calendar. Since all Protestant sects are offshoots of the Western (Catholic) Church, they use the same computational method and the same calendar. Our Eastern Christian (Eastern Catholic and Orthodox) brethren continue to use Passover as the reference point. Here endeth the sermon. Back to planning. This meet is for EASTER (the Western name for the Solemnity of the Resurrection of our Lord) and we'll schedule another for Pasch (the Eastern name for the Solemnity of the Resurrection of our Lord).

And I do think it would be fun to have another meet on Pasch as well.

Originally Posted By retlawfan I wonder if I could count my absence from DL since December as my 40 days? Pre-planning and organization gets extra credit, right?

Originally Posted By cmpaley Well, heck...I just tried to get another table for around 9 and there's nothing available. There are two others who aren't LPers (well one is...sorta) who I invited, so hopefully it will work out.
