Count me in, tentatively. I'll be there with a friend, if I can leave work by 1730.

So, I've got:

definitly:
me
Mark
Loren & Kelly

probably:
Donato
Robotic
Zandr

Probably Not:
Jon Bauer
Ryan Benech

So that's seven probably/definitly and two maybes. Are any of those singles a "plus one"? I made a reservation for 10 people. I told them I'd call tomorrow with a more exact number of people.

So who's definitly in? If you can't commit, don't worry, I'm sure we'll be able to sqeeze you in, just about any place is easier than the House of Nanking. (Disclaimer: Linked album doesn't actually contain pictures of the crowded HoN table)

Anyone's welcome, quiet-ones who've never posted to poo-bah's and carpal tunnels. Don't feel like you can't come because you don't own an empeg or havn't installed your empeg, we love to evangelize to a newcomer.

Thanks, Matthew!

And perhaps put the reservation under "Mr. Empeg", as per my addendum above.

Cheers!

I'll attempt to put the reservation under Empeg tomorrow. Worst case I'll tell them when we get there to send anyone for Empeg our way.

I've PM'ed everyone with my cell phone number just in case. I'll have my GPS with me and be able to give anyone directions to the restaraunt from anywhere in California if you're lost and trying to find the place. If you're busy till later and want to give us a call to see if we're still there or have moved on to a different location feel free to give me a call.

Post if you're thinking about coming, I'll be checking the board up till 5 or so tomorrow, and if it's after that just head on down.

17 is 'straight' by comparison, but 9 isn't the rocket ride (traffic allowing) that 17 is.


You brake for the corners, don't you. IMO, 9 is much more of a rocket ride...but then I drive it every day.

Yes, I'm being a Smart-Alek. (Gotta live up to the name, after all)

I commute from Boulder Creek, and the commute pace on 9 would turn most flatlanders white. Ask Hugo.

Of course 9 is more fun- but it can't be easily driven at normal freeway speeds, where 17 can be.
That's the distinction I was hoping to make- speed.
See you tonight!

Count me in + 1, but I know I'll be at least 10 minutes late... btw, I'm "Ryan" & I'm bringing my girlfriend Simone... besides, I've got to show up to the venue that I suggested, just like the last couple bay area mini-meets... I did come down with the sniffles this morning, so if things turn for the worst, I'll have to bail...

Loren, In case I forget to ask at dinner, did you participate in the kite-boarding competition in the bay (article) last week? It looked hella-fun... even for spectators!

Nah, I've forsaken kiteboarding for paragliding.. sold all my gear. Rob Vreeland was one of the photographers of the even though... he got some good stuff. Speaking of paragliding, there's going to be a demo event at Mussel Rock this coming weekend where you can get $50 tandems... you guys should come check it out.

Welp, someone made up my mind for me. I was laid-off this morning around 1130. SO, I won't be coming.

agh! Sorry to hear it man. You should still come... I'll pitch in some for your meal! You should celebrate... don't get down about it. I know this isn't the case for everyone ... but my being laid off was the best thing that's happened to me in a LONG time.

11:30? That just means you'll beat us all there!
I wish I got off at 11:30!

Like Loren says- it's an opportunity, not something to get down about! You've been freed to find something else more to your liking!

Thanks for the offer! However, it's a bit too late for me to make it up there now.

Something amazing has happened in the past few hours; I've managed to get three offers already! I'm going tomorrow morning to discuss the details of one of the more promising offers. There is a potential fourth that said they'd get back to me tomorrow as well. Wow...

See? All that panic for naught, and you missed a great sushi dinner besides!

Thanks to Matthew for setting this up tonight. It was great to finally meet Kelly, and oh yeah.. all you gee^H^Huys, too!

Cheers!
