I could name some reasons not to join us - like you will probably complain about the high prices, service, food quality and quantity, company, etc. And those who hesitate, don't get to pick the restaurant.

squeakr: Calm down. It's not like I was going to suggest Whiz Wit!

I LIKE whizwit - I just don't want to listen to your compalining all evening about the prices, the food, etc. This is meant to be a <fun> evening for all concerned and I hope you know how to help keep it that way...
and please wear a CLEAN t shirt this time... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

So, in addition to forgetting to pack a coat, an umbrella, and my cell phone charger (my phone is dead, btw, if you tried to call me and didn't get through), markbach forgot to wear his FT pin today.


For those of you who have not met me, I'm 5'1" with brown hair and glasses, and I'm wearing an off-white polo shirt, greenish-gray khakis, and of course I have my trademark camera.

See ya in a little while...

Sorry Mark. You get the west coast winter weather, while it's 70 here in DC this weekend. I guess we're trading weather. BTW, I've got my ATW stuff with so I'm hot as hell out here while you're freezing in SF.

Josh

but mark, we'd know you from your fabulous pictures you always post...

excellent time, excellent food, excellent company...and markbach's first Thai food ever! he tried some of everything and he has the pictures to prove it..even a fried banana....

great to meet BingoSF and Kluau88 (whose name I know how to pronounce now so I can add the info to the OMNI thread) and get the scoop on many different Starwoods...

Basil Thai Restaurant accomodated us well and kept the water, wine and Thai iced tea flowing. Magic and Jerrie and EPS (who was on his best behavior and wore a clean shirt ) gave me the scoop on some priceline strategies for ORD in May.
Consensus was the duck was spicy and flavorful, the corn cakes were very filling and we were all eyeing Bingo's Coffee Granita with whipped cream whole munching on fried banana and ice cream.

For a skinny guy, Kluau can REALLY pack it away without being the worse for wear.

A great time w/ FT's old and new -thanks markbach, for suggesting this dinner and keeping the thread going long enough for all of us to get together. Next time we will make sure the derelicts aren't passed out in front of the adult video store as you walk by..

markbach made it home...
