Tickets are almost always more expensive on weekends, especially with CO. They zero out the cheap buckets and hope to catch folks who are too busy to shop otherwise during the week. Buying on a Tuesday or Wednesday has often saved me hundreds over buying the prior weekend.

I didn't get in to the F part and honestly could do completely without the RCC in HKG. I enjoyed the TG lounge way more. Something about the food option of noodles in red sauce (I'm not convinced there were any tomatos to be found) rather than fresh sushi just doesn't do it for me. The booze was better in the TG lounge, too. And they have a Wii, I think.

The only lounge I have ever been to in HKG is the Dragon Air Lounge

I made a reservation just now for 7pm. I intend to be at the bar prior to that.

By the way - what name is the reservation under? Larry Kellner, or perhaps Pandy Reterson?

For everyone that I haven't met in person, today I'm wearing a lilac-colored button-down shirt (should be the only one in Dino wearing one of those) and black pants.

Rez is under my name. OpenTable doesn't let me play with the name so much. :(

Blue short-sleeve shirt and khakis for me today.

For my entertainment purposes, I strongly encourage you to walk through Harlem wearing a cape.

I considered wearing my snow pants for a little inside Box humor, but I figured with my upcoming trip to Canada, I needed to reserve those for actual snowy situations. :mad:

The Box mini-do is going to be on Sunday? Why not Friday before the main CO event?

I have no idea. I just saw the posting about people wanting to grab brunch and suggested a place.

I'm fine with Friday or Sunday.

Brunch sounds so geriatric for the likes of the Box.

Plus, everyone will be hungover from Saturday night. And, some people will have to get out of IAH Sunday morning.
