Finalized for party of 6 at 7:30 pm. Its under my name but no need to check in at the front (or just tell them you are with Jennifer) - just come through the restaurant to the bar at the back of the main dining room - Chris will make sure everyone is taken care of on cocktails and then they'll seat us.

Oh, and extra food sometimes appears from the kitchen when I'm there. Don't be alarmed. ;)

Reservation is for 8 - we are at 6 so far.... I'll adjust down (or up if possible) on Wednesday or Thursday to give stragglers a chance to consider joining us.

I'm afraid I have to back out of tomorrow night's dinner. My boss is in town and we'll be sitting down for either a "congratulations on your promotion" dinner or a "sorry, but i'm leaving" dinner.

Y'all have a great time, though, and I'll look forward to rejoining the gang in September. :)

Fun times last night... we seem to have missed seeing atxtraveler (or missed his cancellation somewhere upthread?) but after figuring out he was missing, we started without him. We had a new FTer join us though and I hope to see her posting and joining us again!

I slept like a baby after the Hector's Stack (or maybe it was the Anabella cab that does that for me?).

Word is that our "western" associates will be organizing September. Happy hour at the Glass Cactus (Gaylord Hotel) has been discussed. The weather should hopefully be great for cocktails out on the patio - the views of the lake are surprisingly serene and the food is pretty awesome for a "nightclub". I suspect Handleless1 will post more details later and I'm crossing my fingers that it falls on a night I'm in town!

Yes, I apologize! Believe it or not, I was stuck on a plane! Thanks to this group, I was doing a mini Mileage run home from the west coast and missed a connection.

Hope all was well for everyone!

Looking at dates for the Glass Cactus.

Sept. 7th (Friday)

Sept. 14th or 15th

Sept. 28th or 29th

Does anyone have a preference on weekends or Friday/Saturday?

Illini_Fan Aug 12, 2007 8:54 pm

As of right now -- all of those dates are open. I assume we aren't talking about lunch? I can't do anything mid-day on either 15th or the 29th.

Is this the glass cactus you are talking about? http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylord...lassCactus.cfm

Yes, that is the correct Glass Cactus. I think 6ish or later would be fine - especially on a Friday, if that's what is decided.

14, 15, or 29 get my votes.

Leaning toward the 15th sometime after 5pm. Is that a horrible conflict with any of the regulars?

Tom, I thought you were supposed to organize this one. :)

I do believe it was suggested that I do something like that -- however, I'm confident I did not accept the assignment. Left in my hands, we would be at Quiznos for 30 minutes on some random Tuesday night.

Ummm Toasty!

dmfriedman Aug 17, 2007 10:35 am

I can do the 7th or the 28th/29th. Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to make the 15th, as I'll still be in Hawaii. :)

What is your obsession with Quizno's?

Who's in for the 15th? And, who's in for the 29th?

It is my default "generic" restaurant. Plus as atxtraveler said. Toasty

I'm in for either date at this point.

Either for me.
