Did anyone have any joy with Hilton San Diego Mission Valley honouring those VERY inexpensive nights for this weekend? 
Please email me direct if you did, rather than sidetrack this get-together thread. Just interested in the final outcome for some of you as we had quite a few rooms confirmed.

Looks like I'll be there for Saturday's activities! After attending last year's event, I couuldn't resist coming this time.
Please confirm the activities for Saturday, and add me to the list for dinner that night.
Thanks!
FYI, I'll be staying at the Hilton San Diego Airport/Harbor Island ($50.00 on Priceline)

Premex, I am glad you're coming... 
Now, regarding Friday night:
I do have trouble selecting some place for Friday evening. However, (thanks to FT chat), I decided it might be best for all of us to meet in downtown / Gaslamp Quarter for drinks on Friday. This location should me most convenient for those arriving Friday evening...
I believe meeting at 9:00pm on Friday should work best for most of us.
So - if someone could actually come up with a few suggestions of nice bars/places in downtown SAN, I would appreciate it - otherwise I would just say to meet like at the Horton Plaza.

Moose's in Redondo Beach (L.A.) isn't very good; just my 2 cents worth, not sure that the SD one would be that much better

I'm now a 100% NO now for three reasons...
1. I will be attempting to bump in DEN on Friday morning coming back to DFW.
2. I will be getting tickets to see They Might Be Giants in Dallas on Friday night.
3. I will be shedding my red hair on Saturday morning at 10 am.

Email has just gone to all the people who have responded for Saturday night dinner. If you don't get it - email me!
MartinElk, it's great to see that you will join us again. We had a quiz at our dinner last summer; Martin was the ONLY FTer there - or that I know of - who is La Quinta Gold!!
PremEx, I'm delighted you're able to come.
rcs85551, we met at the Rock Bottom Brewery last year on Friday night during our FT weekend. It worked well; my only caution is that it is a BIG place and the downstairs is VERY noisy. Captain Mike arranged seating for us on the upstairs patio. You might want to chose that as a meeting point, or the FTers who go have no hope of finding each other.

Carol I just got your email and there maybe be a couple more FTers and non FTers coming that have not posted. I'll tell the FTers to contact you about their attendance and I'll follow up with the others.
Also just wondering if you have any idea if the restaurant can accommodate vegans.
Thanks for handling this Carol.
I would like to meet you guys on Friday night but my flight doesn't arrive until after 23:00 so I'll need to know where people will be at midnight. Can someone that will be out on Friday take note of my mobile and give me a buzz about 23:30. My mobile is 415-309-7611. Thanks!

OK I answered my own question about vegans. I called the restaurant and they can accomodate.
