Although not everyone who'd hoped to make it did I did meet up with another local FTer so enjoyed meeting them.

BTW the food and service at Cafe 50 West was both very good and it seemed the local after work drink spot with a relaxed vibe so would recommend it for those looking to maybe try something new. The spaghetti bolognese was a good size portion and I didn't think too bad of a value at around $14 so with appetizer & drink around $25 + tip wasn't too pricey.
