Hmmmmm....I'll definitely have to check my schedule on this one.

Wingless and I will try to make it and combine it with a few days staying overnight with our friends at De Loach Vinyards. But too early to tell if she can get off work that weekend.

If I'm in town (which at this point it looks like I will be), I'm up for it!

Afternoon/early evening in town would work (and give Rudi time to get back to the airport), or perhaps an afternoon activity in town and an evening dinner closer to the airport?

If I'm in town that Sunday put me down also, always fun to meet Rudi and to party down.

Cheers Scott

for years we wanted to go to the (musical/travestie-show) Beach Blanket Babylon at the Club Fugazi, 678 Beach Blanket Babylon Blvd.,San Francisco, CA - but we never managed (either they were sold out weeks in advance or they didn't play on Sunday evenings - they do now in december - I am not sure about january-16-2000 yet?).

We could go there either before dinner (show at 3PM) of after an early dinner (show at 7PM).

dgolds, dinner near the airport??? What a challenge. How was the Chinese feast I missed? Would you recommend it for this group? Are you the designated party organizer again? Here we go with a Sunday night restaurant open issue...I have never been to Beach Blanket either. What a hoot!

Count Einar and me in. Who is the official counter? Let's start adding up the party goers. Welcome to SF, Rudi and Gisela!

How about Sunday brunch at the Top of the Mark? Say 1 PM We could pick Rudi and Gisela up en route.

My neighbor is the office manager for Beach Blanket Babylon. I could possibly coordinate reservations for this if we get a definite count and which show time.

letiole: A friend who works for BBB? Cool! I saw it last year (for the 2nd time) and really enjoyed it.

Rudi, just to clarify, is it Saturday, Jan 16th, or Sunday Jan 17th that you and Gisela will be in town? BTW 49'ers vs. Redskins coming up in a week and a half, very much looking forward to it.

Hey dgolds I made the same mistake the first time I looked at my calendar. Then I realized it is in the next millenium. Whoops, checked my next year calendar and,lo and behold, Sunday is the 16th.

Glad to see I am not the only one who did that. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

BBB sounds fun. A couple of years ago an industry friend of mine hired some of the BBB staff to work as Booth Babes in a trade show in SFO. I have another very sweet, very naive friend from Indiana who was at the show and still raves about the amazing chicks that staffed the booth. He doesn't have a clue, and, as far as I know, everybody has decided it is more fun not to clue him in. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Sunday, jan-16-2000
arriving from MEX at 10:37AM (UA 1010)
departing to SYD at 23:15PM (UA 863)
(no boarding pass and luggage problems, will check trough MEX-SFO-SYD-BNE-CNS in MEX, so we easily can take the Sam Trans Express bus to downtown).

can one of you local SFO friends please check if they play really in january on this Sunday, sixteenth (3PM? and 7PM?)

I will call later in the week. I tried today but the theater is dark Mondays and the machine said the regular schedule would resume Jan 7 and include Sundays at 3 and 7. My vote would be for the Sunday matinee and dinner later. I think the 7 PM show could be tight. Rudi and Gisela do have an international flight to check in for. Anyone for brunch at the Mark first???

[*]a Sunday Brunch in downtown SFO (if they really serve a brunch at the 'top of the Mark', why not?): karen2?[*]the 3PM show (letiole - can you please try to get detailed informations about our possibilities for tickets/sitting-together-arrangements?)[*]cocktails/beers/Pepsis somewhere (where?)[*]dinner somewhere (where?)[*]farewell with big >>>>>flyertalker<<<<<'s (copyright by punki)

Punki just emailed me and asking how many arrows Willy Tell intends to shoot.

So I correct it into the original, copyright by Punki:

Hey, Punki and Rudi, thanks for the date clarification. That's my first year 2000 problem. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I doubt if I will be able to make it due to work-related travel; I really won't be able to confirm until the week before. But perhaps I can be Rudi's welcoming party at SFO...
