So.. IS there an after/late plan at this point? Axey? BJ?

We likely won't hit the city until at least 8 - and if we get there any earlier, we have a prospect pitstop to make in Soho so we may not be free until 9 pm or later.

I will PM you my cell#. Just give me a call when you're around and we'll figure it out! There is always time for drinks somewhere, assuming my insane jetlag doesn't get the best of me.

Due to a slight change in plans, I will be able to imbibe after all, but only for a little bit. I should make it to Grand Central by 7:15pm tonight and can go anywhere from there, although I can only stay for about an hour.

I even wore BenjaminNYC's favorite outfit, so he'd better be there!

We're all leaving at 1910.

Okay... game plan is to text message Axey when we drop the rental car at LGA and head into the city to see where everyone is since I have NO clue what time we will finish in the 'burbs or whether we have to make another stop before meeting up.

I am having dinner with mymum tonight at 8pm, so I should be ready by 9:30pm. Let's meet at the Grill.

I'll show up around 5:30 and just go with the flow.

Just an hour and a half for yamum?

Many thanks to those that joined me for dinner. Once again, it was wonderful to see SeeYa, Catman, izzik, dhammer53 and stockmanjr. It was also a pleasure to meet tommy777. All of you are awesome!

Yes, I did make it to my flight with about 20 minutes to spare. Even though I was flying evil Mesa, we left the gate on time. Of course LGA ground control had us wait in a line of 28 other planes for departure. Arrrghh! Can't fault Mesa this time.

P.S. Izzik, sorry you weren't feeling great. I hope you feel better tomorrow.

Nice to meet you too!! The infamous BJ didn't show, but I got to meet izzik, a personality I miss on FT...... In these election days, I vote for izzik to be a part of FT again!!!!

It was good to see familiar faces like Mileage Addict (we should not make it two years between get togethers!) and meeting Tommy777 and his friend. It was also purrfect to have special guest izzik join the evening.

PJ Clark's is pretty decent... once you get past the crowded bar the tables in the back give you room and a manageable noise level so everyone can talk and be heard.

I passed on the burgers which looked good (after you have In and Out you can't really go for most burgers.) I was a little overwhelmed though by the size of the cod in the fish and chips I ordered. The piece of fish was as big as Colorado (and I think shaped like Colorado.) The Guinness was pretty good too (although not like the Guinness in awesome Ireland.)

Thanks for a great suggestion Dhammer. After all every FT event does not have to be at a high end restaurant chain. I need to learn to find good restaurants that don't bust most FT-ers budgets.

Getting better. Thanks to two F-T friends I rediscovered La Bonne Soupe (and going off topic there will be a Soup DO 3 the Friday evening of the Freddies weekend next year... as soon as Randy picks the date of the Freddies... whereever they end up being held.)

I may even dove-tail it to the legendary BRT.

He was at the Grill as he said he would be.

I'm sorry I missed the early crew - but we didn't get into our hotel until 8 so by the time we headed back out, I'm sure the 5:30 crew was long gone.

I was hoping some of you would migrate over to WG but Sam - DFW, Axey, & BJ as well as a couple of non-FT friends kept the hospitality going a bit longer.

Really?? We were at the Grill from 9:30-10... Cool Scouser bartender btw

Yes I was! ^

Great time, and great to see you again techgirl! ^

The hamburger is $11 at Wollensky's Grill.
