I'd like to claim the 4th spot, if nobody has beat me to it.

Done! Fantastic. That went faster that I thought it would.

Maybe I should try and call the restaurant to see if they can open more space up.



Ok Done - We now have an opening for 6. And they requested that we DO NOT ask them for splitting it up into multiple credit cards - so people - PLEASE BRING CASH!

Well, I am going to save myself for the serious eating in SIN later in the week

So is that a no, yes, maybe?

My stomach and budget say no.

Pranu, sign me up!

Blah.

I will be leaving for London on the 13th for business. So the 14th is out. Quite disappointing as I Ricchi is less than a block from my office.... and a spot that I go to once a month or so.

Y'all have fun.

Sorry GHF!

It was your recommendation from last year that made me pick it currently.

Unforutnately restaurant week had to be the week of your London trip.

BUMP - We have ONE slot left for tomorrow.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

tempting, but already set for Acadiana on Monday night.

Folks:

I just had a call from I Ricchi - they wanted to confirm the reservation. They requested that if we are going to be 5 rather than 6 then I do let them know in advance.

So if by 6ish or so we do not have a sixth person, I will call them and change it to 5.

So if anybody is currently on the fence about this - please decide soon and let us know.

Thanks. See you all later tonight.

Pranu

Thanks for putting together dinner at Tivoli last night, Pranu!
Hope you tolerated my brother and me okay. gvdIAD, see you
at NSB Saturday if not before.

Greg - thanks for taking over! I wish you luck! I'm sure Pranu is very happy. It's not a bad gig - but requires lots of patience & organization & dedication! I still have your NZ Atlas - I sent you a message last week, but hadn't heard back.

Pranu - Congratulations on your newfound freedom! I remember when Sid took over for me.

Is anyone interested in doing something between Feb 10 & 18? This is literally the first full week where I won't be traveling (for work or vacation) since last April and I'd be down for doing a happy hour or dinner somewhere anytime that week.

Of course, things may change & I may have to do a biz trip that week - but for now, I'm free!

PS - for those FTers heading to the Freddies in April - UA's got a lot of standard availability - just booked my tickets on the first flight of the day out on Thursday the 24th, back on the first flight of the day on Saturday the 26th. I'm staying at the SpringHill Suites about a 1/2 mile from the Wyndham - let me know if you're flying out there on UA & what your flights are.

Are you really flying UA again? I thought they were off your list.

No Freddies for me this year - and I'll likely be on the road that week, still too early to know for sure.

We should get together if for no other reason than to celebrate a pause in what sounds like a brutal travel schedule! I'm available the 10th, 11th, and 12th (I fly to BKK and then REP on the 13th), and would be up for happy hour or dinner.

After our DC-area dinners at I Ricchi and Tivoli, I dined on excellent chili crab and more at No Sign Board Seafood in Singapore with violist and headinclouds. Maybe they'll both be able to attend something a bit less far away in February.

I'd prefer something in DC or NoVA.

Btw, as no one else has requested the atlas, I'm not in any great rush to reclaim it, and figured I'd just wait until one of our regularly scheduled events.
