I'd be up for something - schedule allowing. Hey sc flier, any chance you'll still be around this weekend? IIRC you were scheduled to head out Thursday...

What did you have in mind? I have to assume that some good Aussie wine made it home with him.

I'm heading out on Thurs night / Fri morning on a redeye leaving ANC around 12:30am. So I'm up for something tonight or Thurs evening (particularly some Aussie wine ;) ), but I won't be around for the weekend.

I'm free Sunday/Monday/Tuesday evenings...other than that, it'd have to be lunchtime as I'm working Wednesday through Saturday evenings.

Unfortunately, no Aussie wine made it back with me. Besides, I knew that Bob only appreciates Washington wines, so no sense wasting money on Aussie ones... :p

I'm up for whatever, whenever, as long as it fits in my schedule!

Thurs night @ Mooses Tooth?

sc flyer, you didn't make it there yet?

Or if Bob W, BillScann or AKronin have any other suggestions- I should be off between 7 or 8 PM tomorrow...

If we do decide something tonight I can check FT... if its after 9 AM tomorrow... let me know via the cell

Thanks

I went there last Monday, but I'd be happy to go again on Thurs night. I should be done at work by between 5 and 6pm.

From memory, here's a list of most of the restaurants that I ate at during my trip:
Moose's Tooth
Bear Tooth Grill (lunch)
Downtown Deli (lunch)
Simon & Seafort's
Sacks Cafe
Orso
Crush Wine Bistro (twice!)
Glacier Brewhouse (weekend lunch)
Sourdough Mining Co (lunch)
Ginger
Jens' (lunch)
Kinley's

Quite an impressive listing ^

Only one I would have added is Double Musky in Girdwood, but they are closed currently anyway... so great job!

That- and Club Paris is a good place for a steak or a gourmet burger :D

Sounds like we'll have to visit Costco for some Yellow Tail :eek: :D

jackal Nov 20, 2008 1:25 am

:eek: is right! Blech!

The Barossa Valley shiraz served on BA in F on my return was quite tasty, though...but unlike on the flight out, where my AVOD screen was malfunctioning, I couldn't find any reason for BA to comp me with a bottle of it (ozstamps, Margo and Pooch and I shared a nice Chateau Talbot because of that :D).

(I'm not haughty enough to actually ask for a bottle of wine, honest...I simply told the FA that the screen was randomly powering off so he could write it up for maintenance, and suddenly the CSD shows up with a bottle...who would I be to refuse? :D)

Sounds good to me. I usually finish work around 6-7 PM.

jackal, are you back to work already? Don't you know you're supposed to pad long, international trips a day or two for recovery? :D

Say 8 PM Mooses Tooth then :D

I am scheduled 10:30-7 tomorrow (today) but want some buffer in the event an OT opportunity pops up... and enough time to get cross town... and if I do show early we can get a table - tends to be a bit of a wait some nights-

When one can afford it, yes. In this case, I can't (nevermind that I've used up all vacation good-will from my employer...and they really needed me back!). Besides, I need some spending money for Paris, oui? ;)

And I can't really play the sleep-deprivation card, since I spent probably a third of the 51 hours in transit sleeping in a nice, lie-flat F bed... :p

Since you're well rested now... can we get an update to the original posting in this thread... a lot has happened while you were out of the country and it seems you've blatantly disregarded the housekeeping you committed to by starting such a thread. :p

So this is just a friendly reminder to update the first post - thanks jackal :D

:D:D:D:D:D

Absolutely NO gratitude for the hard work and faithful following-up and hospitable hosting I've performed so dutifully. Sheesh. :rolleyes:

That's it. You're barred from any participation in ANC dos... :p:D

Lemme get some sleep and I'll work on it, er, when I can...Lord knows we need a clear directory in the first post, since this thread is becoming quite congested with useless post-padding! :D
