Finally one at a time that should work for me... put me in the Maybe category for now. I'll try to confirm Tuesday. If so, I'll be driving in from the Fox Valley area, can give rides to or from, and if the location is East of ORD I could stop by to pick people up.

So, where and when?

I'm totally fine with either Italian or Mexican, though.

Let me know if your Sunday flight plans change & you'll be around

PM me your cellphone number - it was on my phone that the igojuice thing fried.

I'll just wander over to the C17 RCC and look for you. Maybe Mr. Pillows will be around as well.

Move me to the yes column.

How do I recognize the right table, or should I just wave an FT luggage tag around?

Just look for a group of people who can't WAIT to get back on a plane and fly half way 'round the world for a quick bite, then get back on a plane to return. If that doesn't stand out,,,,,,NOTHING will!!! ;)

See you all there!! Best wishes, Dave

That would be the one he picked up prior to his attendance at the first World Series game in Chicago since 1959 !!!! (and for which he was "lucky" enough to pay face value for the tix!!).....

Best wishes, Dave

I enjoyed meeting all of you, a very nice evening. Hope to make it to another one soon.

But not the 7:30 a.m. breakfasts downtown, I'd have to wake up before 5 a.m., and I only do that to catch the 6:40 flights out of PSA.

Was great to meet you, and to see the other regulars again. DO make sure you make some of the others, we always have a great time!

'Twas great. Excellent food and even better company.
And I'll get around to posting a trip report on Asiana Economy just as soon as my legs un-paralyze. Just kidding, it was actually quite nice. My next leg is on the A330, which has AVOD in economy, so that should be even better. But that's 9 hours from now :p

Glad to hear that you made it to ICN safely. And also great to meet Gargoyle. And to see everybody else again.

As much as I love the lunch events, the suburban dinner events are lots of fun because they are at a slower pace without worrying about getting back to work or which colleague is going to track me down on my cellphone with a crisis. We need to do more of these.
