Okay, 2:00 in Manhattan Beach it is. I've stayed in MB many times but don't know restaurants---lisamcgu or SkiAdcock, any suggestions?

If we don't have anything in mind beforehand, let's meet at Starbucks on Manhattan Beach Blvd at 2. Just take Sepulveda Blvd south from LAX for about 5 miles and make a right on Manhattan Beach Blvd. Starbucks is right in the central business district, on the right side of MB Blvd a couple of blocks before the beach itself. I'll try to sit near the window. I'm 6'2", dark hair, and will be wearing a blue oxford shirt and light khaki pants.

Then of course Thai around 6:30. phlbuddy, sounds like you'll be cutting it pretty close for your arrival at T1. If you'd like, I can pick you up so you don't have to walk or ride the bus over to T5.

PM me for my cell number.

Thanks wahooflyer, see you at Starbucks.

Lisa, I sent you mail for your cell a couple of days ago, but I know Flyertalk has been goofy lately. Can you email me your info?

Stimp -Didn't get your email :(

Oh well. No big, sent you my number via email and FT private mail

And I have DEK and PHLBuddy's cells, so I guess I will be the go between if someone's plan changes.

PHLBuddy -
See y'all tonite :)

Just got back in and many thanks for a fun evening. I pleasure to meet and re-meet you all!

Stimpy - perhaps you need a non-metallic chain to clip your wallet to your pants? :)

Sorry I missed all the fun. I had scheduled too many activities for Saturday and my normal departure routine got disturbed. When that happens I forget things. I hope everyone had fun and I'll just have to say "next time!".

Thanks everyone! It was nice meeting you all (and seeing you again auh2o).

Very enlightening as usual. Thanks for all the tips, guys. I am in the process, this very minute, making my reservations for Barcelona. Plus, I now know the barstools at Encounter are 8 years old!
