No problem. It's better if everyone has their own. The other side can be used to keep track of what they ordered, so you don't need to recirculate the menu.

We are flying thru SFO tomorrow on our way to Asia and will try to VDB.
If so, we'd like to join for dinner if a couple slots are still available, or else just join for drinks to say hi.

Count me out for ORD dinner because I don't want to be walking from train stop to the Blackstone at midnight.

Please add me to Friday dinner assuming there's space. Anyone who wants to carpool to/from the Peninsula (I'm in Palo Alto) please PM me.

And thanks to all those that offered to give Capt. Denny +1 a ride. He's good to go.
Just a quick reminder about dinner tomorrow. Since it's a large party we'll be on one check, so please bring cash. Also, I'll get this out of the way now. I always do the "honor system" at Dos whereby everyone chips in what they think they consumed, as opposed to an even split, because understandably the person that orders the cheapest thing on the menu and drinks water doesn't want to pay for the person that had six beers and a filet mignon. That being said, the past few Dos we've been way short. I mean, hundreds of dollars short.
So please keep in mind gratuity, how much you drank, and how high taxes and in California, and maybe add a few extra bucks so we don't end up several hundred dollars short this time.
Thanks!

Dinner on Saturday
Given that it looks like there will be arctic temperatures in Chicago over the weekend (by my definition), I'm trying to keep us all inside as much as possible. I figure if we at least pick one of the hotels it'll be easy for us all to take a shuttle there, as opposed to having to cab it. And I believe more people are staying at the InterContinental than any other hotel.
Anyway, the InterContinental has Bistro Mueso and a convenient shuttle, and I can always host for free drinks after, as I should have a suite with minibar privileges. Alternatively I'd be happy to just order a few pizzas from Giordanos, as the suite should be just as comfortable. Anyway, let's say 8:30PM in the lobby of the IC? If anyone wants to head there right away with me, that works great too.
