If you are looking for a wild time, you could all carpool and come down to Chicago for the lunch at Flat Top Grill.

We are in MKE now (from SAN) visiting family for Thanksgiving. I'd love to be part of a MKE do, since I was born and grew up here. In fact, we shopped at Mayfair Mall yesterday! While I cannot make the gathering on 12/2, I will watch the board for future ones. We visit Wonderful Wisconsin 3-4 times a year, and daughter now attends UW-Madison. Good buddy lives in GRB.

At the conclusion of this trip, I'm filling a rollaboard with snow just to show southern Californians what it's like.

Captain Mike-

It's such a small FT world. You and SanDiego1K hosted the very first FT Do I attended (in San Diego in 7/01.) My very first FT post was to let you know I was coming. (And I was also at Mayfair yesterday and I attend UW-Madison!)

I'm sorry you can't make it Friday.

Cholula the man or Cholula the "here market my stuff for me guy" ? :)
Of course you can, anyone else?

I can make it.

Maybe just for a few drinks, though.

i didnt know we knew each other ;)

Mike, You're wrong: :D

1. No such thing is "generally not bad." The premises are either smoke-free or they are not.

2. The good news is: P.F. Chang's in Wauwatosa (Mayfair) reports that they are.

See you Friday!

I've extended the invitation to the offices of YX.

Looks like we are up to 17 people!

Again please let me know if you need to change your plans.

Also, as ot the logistics of the do - I'm looking for suggestions. Do we put all of the food on one tab and split it? Drinks on seperate tabs as there are people who drink more than others?

Looking forward to meeting everyone Friday night.

Wow. :eek: That's a lotta people. Excellent!

I'd vote for putting the food on one tab and splitting it. Chang's isn't iDine ;) and the food is mostly in the same general price range, isn't it? And with that number of people, tip will be included anyway, so it's probably just easiest to split it that way.

I would agree, I'll take it easy and only have a couple beers to keep the tab down ;)

LAST CALL for MKE DO 12/3
 

Just bumping this for a final reminder. Mrs. C & I will see you all Friday.

Hey all, I'm on the losing end of a nasty cold/flu so I won't be attending this evening. :(

i wont be there for dinner but will try to make it for a drink or two.

I am afraid that since my driver Mr. Willie is not feeling well that I will have to miss this event. I have problems driving long distances at night with my eyesight, and the fact that the opthamologist just diluted my pupils to the size of dimes this morning isn't going to help matters.

Hopefully next time.

I've not had any response from the YX folks, unfortunately. I do plan to be there for dinner.

Hope to see you another time.

Willie and Nick,

Sorry to miss you guys. Hope you feel better, and maybe I'll make it down to Chicago for one last DO before I take off.

i tried making it. changs was freakin packed and i didnt know what anyone looked like. made a couple calls, but next time. hope everyone had a good time.

GRBFlyer - Sorry to hear that you couldn't find us! They had the name Flyertalk at the front desk. Mark didn't get your message until 1/2 hour after you called.

You must not have have seen the TerraCotta Warrior in the back corner with a Cholula hat on his head. We tried to show where we were. Hope to see you next time.

A nice time was had by all who showed. I enjoyed meeting y'all!

i didnt get past the host/ess station. i asked for the flyertalk table and the kid said he had just come on and didnt know anything. he looked at my friend and i like we were crazy. mark-i was already back downtown MKE when you called. next time guys.

They told me to just come in and walk around!
