LAX-Area Dinner on Friday September 18th
 

I have a week of meetings in Ventura County (Westlake Village, CA) in mid September. My meetings well end on Friday September 18 and my flight back to PHX isn't until 10:45 PM. Therefore, I was thinking of expensing my dinner at somewhere nearby LAX sometime that night around 7. Anyone interested?

My girlfriend is arriving on a 10 p.m. flight into LAX that evening, so I'll need to be out there anyhow. I'd be happy to drop you (and up to three others) off in time for your flight.

Let's meet at Truxton's American Bistro, the site of many FT dinners, including the recent one with UA's Captain Denny Flanagan at 7:30 p.m.

I've made a dinner reservation under my real name; please PM me if you need it or my cell phone number.

I only suggested Encounters because I'll be dropped off at the airport. If you're willing to drive we can go anywhere you want...the company is paying for it :D. It'd be an honor to meet a Flyertalk legend such as yourself.

LOL, I think you have me mistaken for someone else. :)

Let's see if any of the other LAX locals or travellers are interested in having dinner that night and we can pick a place that works for all.

I can probably make it. I haven't been to Encounter in a long time but it is expensive and if you want more people to come I would suggest somewhere else depending on how many are interested.

I never tire of Truxton's; I really like the food there. There's so many other good places near LAX as well, so I agree that we can save Encounters for another time. :)

I'm fine with anything, I only suggested Encounters because I'd be at the airport without a ride. I think after I get dropped off there i'll check my bag and if someone who's interested could give me a ride we can go anywhere they choose.

Friendly bump. I'm going to suggest Truxton's at 7:30 p.m. Does that work for everyone? I'll use Post #2 for logistics and RSVP.

Regrets as I'll be enroute to olafman's gayla in MUC

I'm actually on the redeye to IAD on the 18th, so there is a chance even I can make it. That is, if you don't mind a young'n ;)

Actually, after looking at the menu, I feel obligated to go :D

As luck would have it I happen to be in LAX that weekend redeeming some SPG free weekend nights. I'd love the chance to meet some more Flyertalkers in person, so count me in.

Hell I'm just shy of 24...at least this way I'll have someone my age to talk to! :D

As BAMAT would say, "there is no think, only do"

Please PM me if you need a ride to dinner.

RSVP list updated.

opps wrong date..

Because I come back into Burbank, I'm gonna try and catch the 4pm surfliner from BUR to LAX (via Union Station), so that will put me into LAX sometime around 530.

From there, I can either hitch a ride with CMK10 and FH or cab it over. It doesn't seem very far away.
