Maybe (and double maybe for Mrs CO FF). We have parental driving duty that night (chauffeuring 2 kids to 2 different parts of the area), and don't have the details yet...
Woa almost spaced this one out, thankfuly not a reapeat of The Ripper DownUnder DO (yet!) ....cool beans I'll probably be flying to ORD to fly down with the Capt. and then back to DEN the next day.

OK, the date is quickly approaching. Can any of the maybes confirm? Anyone have a restaurant suggestion near LAX? As I mentioned before, the earlier the dinner can be, the better, as Captain Denny has an early flight on Sunday.
Bummed I can't make it, but I did get to see Captain Denny last week at ORD at the start of the MegaDo!
There's always the Proud Bird, Siam (Thai), the Mexican place & some other place all close by that FTers meet at regularly. Check w/ flyinhawaiian; he knows the names of the others.

We haven't done Siam in a while, so my vote would be for Siam, provided that Captain Denny likes Thai food. However.....I would recommend calling them first to secure a reservation, since once a bunch of Flyertalkers showed up, and they were closed that night.
Any of the other suggestions are fine, too.

I won't be able to make it this weekend. Thanks, as always, to you for arranging this and to the good Captain and his F/O for putting up with us FTers.

I had dinner at Siam a few months ago and have to say, IMO, the food quality has slipped a bit.
Let's see; we've taken the good Captain to The Proud Bird and then to Truxtons. As I recall, he likes a place with a nice selection of beers on tap; one place I would suggest is the Daily Grill in El Segundo, as it's a relatively large restaurant, there is ample parking, and they open for dinner at 4 p.m.
I pass on dinner this time.
. have fun folks and keep making me jealous.....
