but mark, we'd know you from your fabulous pictures you always post...

excellent time, excellent food, excellent company...and markbach's first Thai food ever! he tried some of everything and he has the pictures to prove it..even a fried banana....

great to meet BingoSF and Kluau88 (whose name I know how to pronounce now so I can add the info to the OMNI thread) and get the scoop on many different Starwoods...

Basil Thai Restaurant accomodated us well and kept the water, wine and Thai iced tea flowing. Magic and Jerrie and EPS (who was on his best behavior and wore a clean shirt ) gave me the scoop on some priceline strategies for ORD in May.
Consensus was the duck was spicy and flavorful, the corn cakes were very filling and we were all eyeing Bingo's Coffee Granita with whipped cream whole munching on fried banana and ice cream.

For a skinny guy, Kluau can REALLY pack it away without being the worse for wear.

A great time w/ FT's old and new -thanks markbach, for suggesting this dinner and keeping the thread going long enough for all of us to get together. Next time we will make sure the derelicts aren't passed out in front of the adult video store as you walk by..
