Identical breakfast to the previous day. In his hotel tips
seminar, satori shared his experiences, many of which he had
tipped his hand on on the previous night at dinner! It was
enjoyable nonetheless.
Followed by a giant cold cut sub lunch, to which I said bah
humbug and joined KMA26, the_happiness_store, and El_Chiflero
for beers ($2) and burgers, which were pretty good, at Old
Chicago, the hotel restaurant.
Legends of FT was very amusing: Pudding Guy, wannaflyforless
again, mrpickles, gleff, and beaubo; each of these proffered
an amusing and sometimes edifying side to this peculiar
obsession of ours. I savored every moment of this one.
There was this bus thing to Jameson's for dinner, but lili
was still a little under the weather, and by the time we
got our act together, it was way gone. We joined up with
Frenchie Flyer and her +1 (Texas Viking), who had a car.
It's a nice midrange steakhouse; I sneaked a peek into the
back room and noted that the tables were overfull already,
so we stuck with the four-top they gave us instead of
joining the crowd.
lili and I split a big porterhouse and some Rodney Strong
Merlot; both were good. Via a complex coupon connection-like
switch with our friends she ended up with onion soup, I got
cream of chicken rice, and Frenchie Flyer and +1 got salads
with their burgers, something they were not apparently
entitled to without paying a supplement.
