May as well. Most places will accomodate last minute addons.

We booked a party of 6 and had 9 show up at Cardero's a few weeks back. A polite request and non-stop drink orders made the Manager very happy.

Can they make a stop along the way to SEA? Could shave a good 2hrs off your journey. =)

I was hoping for an overbooking so I could switch. Or the delay to keep going further. Neither happened.

I'll waive overhead whilst everyone is enjoying dinner

Lightbulb Contingency

Whether or not I got a spot for Friday night's dinner {I got one.}, I opted to visit Craft Beer Market anyhow.
I'm currently at the north curved end of the center bar. A keen-eyed person could see someone sitting promoting the "World Of Beer" of Evanston(!), IL. on a t-shirt, and / or a yellow rubber duck with a plug for Lufthansa thereupon.
It is 'hoppy hour' ($5 .4L drafts) for another 54 minutes.

I'm currently on AC 569 from SFO. Everything looks on time (or early), but it'll likely be 1945 at the earliest before I can get there.

There was an Air Canada ANC-YVR nonstop with saver space that would have worked and gotten him in earlier, but that would involve beckoa cheating on his beloved AS.

beckoa’s a decent swimmer. Or at least I assume so, given how much time he spends at beaches in Hawaii.

I'm on the train, so give me another 20ish minutes, and I'll help finish a keg.
