Anyone want a date? :P

AC thoughtfully changed my invitation from the 23rd to the 17th. Thanks to jc94 for suggesting that I ask; I never would have had the chutzpah otherwise.

Canopus27, hopefully you can share with us of what you learn from your dinner tomorrow (17th). I will be attending the one on the 23th. Thanks

How much of the NDA would actually allow this?

I checked again the invitation I received from AC. I couldn't find the NDA in the AC invitation to me!

That means you can take pic and post it here, and please know that we would be grateful if you could do so!

The lounge is fantastic ... well furnished, with comfortable seating and plenty of amenities. There is a sit down restaurant style service, with a selection of menu items that include several David Hawksworth creations, and finally the option of a properly cooked steak (rare). The wine selection was decent ... nothing to rave about, but pretty solid. Meanwhile Davd Hawksworth won me over with his dessert selections, I had a stunningly good cheescake.

All in all, the lounge was really good ... dramatically better than the old international MLL (which looks hopelessly tired in comparison).



(*) Caveat: Everything I wrote above is entirely made up, as I haven't actually seen the lounge yet ... and I suspect I won't be able to write about it after I have seen it, due to the NDA. So I thought I'd give you a pre-review, based on what I hope it will be

I think it is polite asking AC first on the 23th before posting anything in here.

Is that an oxymoron

Depending on the cut of steak, no it is not an oxymoron.

Thanks to yyznomad pointing out that I missed the fine print NDA which also appeared at the very bottom of my invitation. * This invitation is exclusive and non-transferable. Unfortunately, guests are not permitted. All attendees must sign a non-disclosure agreement before seeing the lounge.

Exactly, so we don't yet know what the NDA will and will not allow, in fact it might actually prevent people posting details of the NDA.
