I wish I could come! I've been meaning to get to Boston for a while now, but there's no way it'll work out this weekend. Have fun!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Morning, all.

Just emailed the list - and Nora, Jon, can we add Vortex to the email chain? She's coming up from DC, which makes me all the way happy.

Oh, man, the Illuminations. It's been so. damned. long. since I saw Boston.

x-posted to the somerville email list:

It seems that folks are unsure about dinner availability, which might be a bit dodgy trying to get a table for a large group of people on a Saturday night. Do folks on the fence know when you will know if dinner is in the cards? Is there a timing issue? For example if we make a reservation at 6 or 7 pm, does that help with firming up plans?

Could you everyone let me know, either to the list or to me directly if you are planning on going to dinner? And if you prefer Sabur or Elephant Walk? And what time would be good for you?

So far, here's the list of definite yes's: Deb (and Nick?) Jon and FAQ Wife Nora and Tom

Maybes: Sarah and Dave Victor and Thessaly

Probably nots: vw

And I haven't heard back from anyone else...

(though, I realized that yahoo was flagging these emails as spam shortly after we started the conversation on Monday, so I may have missed some before I fixed the problem.)

Please indulge my Type-A event planner personality and let me know what you think. It's a bit tough to get a group of more than 4 sat down for dinner on a Saturday night, so I think some advance planning would be good.

I am hoping to make a reservation by Friday at the latest.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Nora, I think you misspelled FAQ Wife.

Nora, I've been crazy at work so I haven't had time to respond to any e-mails on my home addresses. I'm definitely up for dinner, either 6 or 7 is fine as long as I know in advance, and while I know I love Elephant Walk, Sabur sounds interesting from its listing in Zagat, so either place sounds good. I'll probably be working Saturday at this point, so knowing in advance where and when will be muy helpful.

And Jon, when you see this, please to email me your phone number(s)?

Is Sabur Indian? I may have to watch you all eat. As dearly as I love Asian food, keeping it on its designated path through the digestive tract is a bit iffy these days.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Sabur is "Mediterranean".

Their site is here.

Elephant Walk is Cambodian/French.
