So it looks like it's Tommyrot, Hil, Vortex, & me? And I think Tom & Vortex will be there closer to 6, and Hil & I will race for last place. Whee!

Will we be able to find each other? Normally I'd suggest meeting up out front, but since it's freezing and we aren't all going to be getting there around the same time, that seems cruel. I guess we can trade phone #s and whoever gets there first can call/text to say where they're sitting. Does that work?

I'd recommend getting a table in the upper floor dining room since as I recall that's a little less cramped than the downstairs bar.

Looks like I've been switched to a maybe. a bunch of people have caught this virus that's going around (Hell, I just got over it), and I may have to work tonight.

I'm on it! Though it was done in Massachusetts, they were nummy!

Hey, me too! Also Massachusetts, though.

Aaaand, I'm now a no, just got the call. I have to be there at 6:30, which means leaving the city at 6. You're leaving tomorrow, Tommyrot?

Okay, who is up for a F2F birthday party? For lo, the F2F is in my town, and starts on my birthday, so clearly, we oughta live it up!

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!

Yo!

If someone (Ginger, Laura, whomever) wants to flip the RFP to me, I can send it out to Seattle hotels. Seattle-istas, expect incoming email.

(The nice thing about my day job is that researching hotels is part of it. No raised eyebrows!)

I don't think I ever had the RFP. Sounds like you have a notion how to do it, juliana.

Woot!

Ooooooooooooh, a party!

[And Plei will know what I'm talking about when I say that the above in my head was said in the pigeon's tone of voice. We've been reading the hot dog book a LOT lately...]
