Idealflyer, I could meet you (or anybody else) on Saturday the 17th for dinner or a drink before you fly out, if you want. I'm busy most of the day on Saturday, so it has to be after 5PM.

Are you guys meeting at CORAs on Sat or Mon?

RTW4, on Saturday. Will you come, too?

I own the two seats courtside directly next to the Clippers players (ie basically on the bench with the team) as well as another set of lower level tickets.

Go Clippers!

I'll look for you tonight, I'm behind the visitors bench, about 15 rows up.

BTW... for those of you interested in another good breakfast place in Santa Monica, try Jinky's Cafe. Good eats!!!

Jinky's Cafe

RTW4,

Cora's.

Saturday.

Eight am

Come.

Idealflyer and I will be meeting at 5PM on 1/17 in the sofa seating area of the LAX Hilton, if anybody else is interested. Dinner location still TBD.

If I can sneak away from the house this afternoon, I'll try to wander by the LAX Hilton this evening @ 5 p.m. to meet you folks. I don't know about my availability for dinner, but since I live so close to LAX (around the corner from Nanook), it would be great to meet a couple more fellow Flyertalkers.

Onedog

Onedog,

Still waiting for Idealflyer to select a restaurant. Since I won't have access to my computer between now and 5PM, I'll temporarily post my cell phone # if you decide to meet up with us at the Hilton.

Edited to delete cell phone number

I just couldn't get away this evening or I would have come by the Hilton. Hope you all met up and had a great dinner. Onedog, I seem to keep missing you.

My breakfast with dhammer: well, Cora's wasn't as good as we'd heard. Not horrible, but nothing to go out of one's way for. We'll have to try Jinky's sometime. But the company was good...that's the main thing.

Onedog, not sure if you showed up at the Hilton lobby. We were on the couches for 15-20 minutes before heading up to the 16th floor club room, and then to Natalee Thai in Culver City.

Nanook, if you were disappointed by Cora's, you should come to Blueberry on Monday at 9!

Just a quick correction, 16th floor executive lounge, not club room. Let's not get any rumors started as SS255 is a nice person. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

Glad I got to meet some like minded frequent flyers, especially on AA and US. Great choice of food and restaurant and glad I got to meet the newest AA million miler, delacpa!

I am in Boston now where my EXP is not enough to use the First lounge as my ticket is not international, only the main part. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

Edited to add times in LAX again:
Sunday- 1100am-415pm
Monday- 1100am-1100pm

SS225, will definitely try to get to Blueberry on Monday at 9 am (is that the one at 510 Santa Monica Blvd?). I have to go to the food bank to drop off some Kelloggs boxes and that's not too far away.

Correct. Cross street is 5th Street. Phone # is (310) 394-7766.

Thanks for correcting my faux pas! And thanks for the lovely compliment, as well. For those of you who were unable to join us, you missed out on a great dinner with the grand pooh-bah of mileage runs. And the added bonus of being the first FT'ers to personally help Delacpa celebrate achieving AA million miler status was worth the 30 minute wait to get our table!
