Cancelling, for a Good Reason
I'm going to have to cancel this year, Dan. My daughter, who lives several states away, is coming back to Austin that weekend so Mrs. Middle_Seat and I can meet her new "he's special" boyfriend.
I very much enjoyed going on an earlier BRT, and hope to participate in #15 (or will it be #14 v.2 ?).

I hate doing this and I hate even more doing this last minute but I'm afraid I cannot attend. My work schedule this year has been insane with last minute changes and it's been changed again. I had to move a trip I'm taking with my Dad to accommodate work and this was the only weekend it worked for.
I love you Dan and I love Flyertalk and the BRT but as my Dad literally created me, I had to put him first.
I hope to be there next year.

Family first.
Just got off the phone with Fiorentino's. They've made room for us at the usual time. 4:30. I've asked that Joe be our waiter again. ^
Please note: everyone pays for what they order. We do not split the bill. If you order pasta and a coke, that's what you'll pay for + tax/tip. If you order a steak and a beer, that's what you'll pay for. Remember to bring cash. They only allow 1 credit card to be charged.
If someone plans on ordering a bottle of wine, don't. Last time someone (cough) did that, the bottle of red wine was warm.
One last thing, Fiorentino's is a red check table cloth type of place. Don't order anything fancy. Stick to the tried and true ie pastas, chicken, and veal.

I know stockmanjr is joining us for dinner. We'll be able to provide a ride back to Manhattan for anyone that wants to join us.

Dan -- I believe this place has some BRT history to it, as a few of the participants have been known to stop in for a quick one on at least one occasion. Though it is probably fair to say that sending friends there is a good way to diminish the number of friends one has...
