Friends, I have changed the time to 6pm. As I said I really can't miss my show.
But here is what I mean by plan "C"
If there are enough people who can't make 6p may I suggest a second reservation for 7pm or 8pm. This could be the first ever overlapping F-T event (can't call it a DO until we get 12 people

) at the same place!
We may drive the poor manager crazy with two signicicantly sized groups. I'll talk to him.
dhammer... I think you'll like the place between the price and the food. I don't recall any Flyertalkers not being happy with La Bonne Soupe.
Again, we have three months for this to fall into place but I want to accomodate as many people as I can. The sad thing is I almost booked my Hairspray for April but I was afraid of being swamped with cat sitting!
