>>> Hey all and Britt. Just wanted to fyi, this is not the resto. I had in mind, sounds good. Let me get the info needed tomorrow and post it, as I realize people are coming out here soon.
The resto I love is Siam, near LAX, on Lincoln and Manchester, near the Furama. It is large and spacious, big tables, so can accomodate many FTers

, and no more than 5 minutes from LAX, which is a benefit.
Again, up to you guys. S/M is closer to Malibu, so good for me.

MALIBU!!!
Someone asked about Thai Thani? Sorry, just checked the board tonight and a ton of messages here. I was there Sunday night, my belated birthday dinner, so Brian treated

. Very good food!
Ah. I don't know the streets well but close to the Redondo Pier. It is like D street, I think, near the Arbys. Might be PCH that goes along there, so bad with that, Brian always drives down there. This is a nice resto., incredible food and service. Also, a plus for those who live in South Bay, but again, I would encourage us to keep it near LAX, which Siam does well...LAX is more central and Redondo is out of the way as far as LAX goes, but a fun place to hang out.
PF Changs is just too crowded on a Saturday night, have taken 2 dates there, or tried, and left, didn't want to wait 45 minutes for a table. Let alone for a group our size.
Brit, I am thinking you might have the wrong restaurant in mind!?, but whatever you want, we can do. I will need a headcount and then I can make a reservation.
HINT( go for Siam, you'll love it!!! )
