obscure2k, I would think doing lunch during the week anywhere would be a non-starter for most of those that are working. Weeknights - or weekends - work better for those in the LA area than mid-day given the geography.
Whether Glendale, Hollywood, Brentwood, whatever - I couldn't have made a mid-day gathering - didn't matter on the location. But that's just me due to work. If others could make it, cool.
As I type this I realize that folk are getting together though & hope everyone has a fabulous time!
Cheers.
