yikes, 8 is really way later than I'd planned. (7:30 is hard for me too.) With train schedules and all, that gets me home really late. Maybe I can meet with folks for drinks before dinner or something.

I'm perfectly willing to take myself out of the mix if the consensus is on the 8pm side of things, I just can't be getting home at 11 on a Monday night, it will fuck up my week something horrible.

Noooo! We want to see you too, Nora!

I can meet up for predinner drinks either at Antico Forno or someplace else, and then catch the 8pm train home while you guys tuck in for dinner. There are suitable compromises to be made!

I want to see you, Nora. I think pre-dinner sounds great. That way we can accomodate both schedules, like you said.

I should know in a couple hours.

sounds like a plan! Kristin, you're entertaining in shifts!

Or we could have the dinner on the early side, and those that are able can meet victor and thessaly elsewhere for drinks after someplace where they can also get dinner. Since that Monday will effectively be a Sunday for me, I don't mind being out later, so either way works for me.

Also in corsets!

Either way works for me, too.

cool, sounds like we'll be able to come up with a plan. We shall see how it all unfolds.

Tell you want. Why don't we call it 7:30. I may be able to get out a tad early. (Which means, I'm cool with a little earlier, like 7 or so, too.)
