Or vice-versa, we could meet for a cocktail for social hour, then split so everyone can pursue their own dining interests. Obviously groups of 2-4 will not face the same restrictions as a group of 12-15.

That sounds like a jolly good plan!  Maybe 5:00 or 5:30 at the Drake bar or lobby or something. 
Anyone else up for that??

I have two underaged girls coming along, so I would rather not meet up for social hour.

will see how I feel upon arrival. Today, body is NOT happy (for ALL ailments) and will decide upon check in.... plus, I drank my quota up as well back in the 70s and 80s..... "virgin" drinks (If I go) for me too.

I need to finish packing, go to bed, get up early and drive to Chicago.

I plan to be at the Foodlife place at the Water Tower at 6:30. If you all plan to meet up for happy hour before that, we are going to have to pass. I hope that everyone still plans to congregate at Foodlife, but if not several of you have my cell phone number, so please call if plans dramatically change.

See you all real soon.

I could live on FoodLife. Breakfast smoothie, Pulled Pork sandwich for lunch, Clam Chowder and Shrimp Scampi for dinner. Sounds like a good way to make it work.

It has taken 10 pages to get here, but I think we have a plan.

Sounds good to me, 6:30 at foodlife it is. A plus is that it and Mity Nice are right on top of each other, so if anyone has stopped checking in here and goes to the "wrong" place from the previous plan, they won't be but a few feet away!

Well, for the record, we all found each other and have full tummies!

I had to run on here and look at everyone's pictures again, because they all look a solid 15 years younger in person than they do in their pictures! Everyone!!!

And Kaybo's hair was straight!  ???   ;)

You're right -- and no false advertising, as it looks straight in your picture -- but for some reason in my mind I still thought of you as a "curly girlie" too!
