Would love to make it to dinner
Have just discovered this thread.
I am an Ft'er from Downunder, and I land at ANC at 19:30 on Saturday. Would love to meet up for dinner enroute to my hotel if possible. What would a taxi to the restaurant run to once I collect my luggage?
I am in on AA from DFW.
Free for coffee on Sunday or whatever, then out on Sun night.
Regards
John

My guess is a taxi would run around $25.00 & would take at most about ten minutes. But we're worth it

OK, so the Consolidated Thread has been updated (well, it's being updated as I type this--don't expect it to be done for a few more minutes). Please check there and make sure I have all the details correct! 
Looks like we'll have a nice dinner of six at the Bear Tooth (and more are invited--I'll send a PM to the bunch of ANC FTers to see if any can join) and a group of eight (so far--still combing through PMs and other posts) passing each other at the airport.
JohnSydney2000, welcome to ANC! We're scheduled to start at 19:30 and will likely already be there when you arrive at the airport, but before you pay for a cab, give me a call (YWHPMIJAM--You Will Have PM In Just A Minute) and see if I've left yet. I work at the airport and might be able to provide a complimentary ride (this goes for anyone--I think I can squish four other people in my little old car, though it'll be a tight fit...). However, for anyone wanting a ride, don't count on me 100%--I will be leaving work for the duration of the dinner and then returning, but since I'm technically still supposed to be there, if crap hits the fan, I might be a bit late. (I do have some new-hires coming on this week that will need training and monitoring, but I might be able to get a replacement for me who can work with them while I'm gone, freeing me up completely.)

Good Morning Saturday !
I am in DFW 4 waiting for the departure, will follow the instructions of the jackal upon arrival. If I arrive at the Bear Tooth Grill, how will I find the group? If I have no instructions, can you kindly look for me, carrying a black lap top bag with a yellow flyertalk.com tag attached. Thanks. John.

Dreamliner
I'll be wearing a Dreamliner cap. Black with a bright blue Dreamliner on the front, shouldn't be to hard to spot.
