motnot, Pizzeria Bianco is great as well, but they do not take reservations last I heard either. That could be especially dicey if either the Coyotes or Suns are home that evening, which is pretty likely, given that time of year. Tempe may not be a bad area a get together, particularly with many students leaving the area for the holiday.

A little bit of OMNI for anyone in the valley area: How is the Rio Salado Project coming? Is there any retail development on the waterfront yet? I have not been back for about six months.
