or maybe I'll call.

Do we have a plan B? The Thirsty Bear is closed for a private party tomorrow, so that is out entirely. I asked about a reservation for Tuesday, but the only times they had available were 5:30 and 8:30. I took the 8:30, but is there a different place we can try for tomorrow?

How many people will there be in total?

Alembic should be relatively quiet on a Monday night, and they have both food and drink.

Might be fun to go some place in the Mission like the Beauty Bar or Dalva or Delerium. We could get good cheap food nearby.

I think 11 (12 if you are bringing Matilda and want to count her), plus maybe Javachik later.

We need it to be easily accessible by BART.

In SoMa, LuLu [link] has a 7:45 availability for 10.
Financial District - Belden Taverna has a 10-top at 7:30: [link]
Union Square, John's Grill has a 10-top at 7:30: [link]
Van Ness, Maharani has a 10-top at 7:30: [link]

I actually can't personally vouch for any of these places, but I've heard good things about LuLu. And if it's 11 instead of 10, we can squeeze.

I think I counted wrong--it's 10 (11 with Matilda, 12 with Matilda and Javachik).

Okay, how about we go with Lulu at 7:45? Is that okay with people?

Consuela, can you get in touch with Laura Shapiro and let her know we had a change of plans?

Sounds good. And a bit more convenient than other options. Is that the place that was in Journeyman?

ETA: Note to Perkins, I will probably wear my shoes.

megan, do you want to walk over together?

Note to Perkins, I will probably wear my shoes.

Does that mean I should, or I shouldn't?

Sure.

Does that mean I should, or I shouldn't?

I don't care. I just wanted to give fair warning.
