as a vegetarian who tries to take it easy on the dairy, i have, perhaps, stronger opinions? My votes:
App: fruit plate, chips n dips
Rec: greens w/ envy
Desert: yum! oh wait, choices. Cookie monster and left bank look like a nice assortment and easily portable.
I'm happy with any and all of the appetizers. I don't see a need for reception stations.
wrt Underground Tour. Not sure if there is more than one of these, but I went to this website:

And saw them mention:
Be prepared for the underground landscape to be moderately rugged. You’ll encounter six flights of stairs, uneven terrain and spotty lighting. So dress for the weather and leave the kitten heels at home.
I sent an e-mail asking about the stairs, mentioning I'm on crutches, but get around fine, but if it's a six flight climb, I would slow down the group. They responded:
The stairs are six flights total. Not all at once. If you are good at the crutches it shouldn’t be an issue. I hope to see you when you come on down to the tour.
I thought I'd post, in case there were others interested, but unsure of what they were in for.
Omnis, I've done the tour and I think you'd be okay. Basically you are beneath the street level for the whole thing, but just one level down, so there are a few times that you climb up to street level, then back down to the underground. They've got it pretty organized as well.
awesome! Then count me in! Should we set it up so we are the tour that night? Group reservation? Or is it too far in advance for that? They say they need two weeks advance notice for private tours.
Oh, fuckitall. I'm coming.
(thanks in part to some much beloved and generous Buffistas who shall remain nameless, unless they give me permission to name them, in which case I shall sing their praises to the heavens and probably dedicate any bellydancing that happens to them)
Now to budget.
HUZZAH!!!!
And, to start tying up loose threads: Is there anyone who needs a roomie/ride/guidance/whatever? I just want to make sure that no one will be left out in the cold or scrambling.
(Herding dog instinct is activated, yes it is.)
HURRAH!

My flight is due to arrive at 10:40pm, Thursday evening. Anyone else arriving at about the same time?
