So Jason... you may or may not know, but we've lately been holding East Bay DOs, with a focus on more "exotic" cuisine (i.e. not Italian or Mexican, which are the default choices for most DOs). We're planning the next one for sometime within the next 2-4 weeks. The "catch" is that they're held in the East Bay, not the city... however, they are BARTable (by design).

Would you be interested in "joining forces" and bringing yourself and your other DOers to an East Bay DO on the 9th? Our primary candidate right now is Nan Yang, a Burmese restaurant in the Rockridge area (a few blocks from the Rockridge BART).

If you would prefer to stay in the city, we'll hold our Do on Jan 26th, instead, so as not to compete.

(BTW, Dim Sum tends to be best for lunch/brunch, IMHO... if you're around on the 10th, you should have it for brunch. There are a number of places with champagne dim sum. )
