Personal preference: Tapas over steak by a nose, both over Flat Top since that is more of a "lunchy" place to me.

But I really don't care that much if others have other preferences.

So who's all coming to this little dinner? Our guest of honor, our queen ms. cawhite60156, yours truly, FightingIlliniUAL, a few maybes, who else??

And we haven't heard from our prince, although being a Thursday night he's probably going to en route to greener pastures yet again.

Last I heard from princessiluv2fly, he was 50/50 on making it to dinner that night....hopefully he'll update soon!

also poss Grasshopper and Jace (think the latter needs pm'ing?) and oontiveros ??? posted on first page.

Anyway, happy to go for 1492 or the Palm

So a tentative list for dinner on Jan 6...

Waiting to hear from iluv2fly

I'm not going to be able to make... have a bad case of the flu :( might have to cancel a run to ams this weekend :td:

hope you all have a good time!

Jace, so sorry to hear you've got the flu -- I hope you're feeling better soon!

I have it on good word that Marty's vote is for Palm... ;)



Anyone else with a preference?

voting for Tapas here since my 2 trips to the Palm have been negative experiences, overcooked burnt steak and flies in drink :D

althought I fancy the steak, the tapas would be fun and different, so will go for 1492 out of choice..... but I won't sulk if I dont get my way !!!

Sorry Marty...I think it's going to be 1492. (However, I'm sure we can put together a Sunday evening Palm dinner in late January!)


Anyone have a preference on time?

I'd prefer something after 6:30pm as I'm strolling in off the Amtrak from Bloomington/Normal at 10am and kind of need to work a full day.

doh!
 

Won't be able to make it :( but do let me know when you guys are getting together again!!

after 6.30 is good for me too - anytime - will take me 5 minutes at the most to walk it.

Can we say 6:30, or do we need to make it 7:00?

A PM went out to everyone on my list a couple posts up...still waiting to hear from a few
