can I had in your suitcase??
    
         
        meetup! I'll bring chocolate 
        
W00t! where? 
bigepaz, A) where's the general vicinity of your work/sleep/play area, and 

 are you bringing the R2 unit.
    
       
        I'll be staying in the downtown area
    
     
        but I'll be in Burbank on Thurs late afternoon
    
    
   
        and will have time to meet up in the evening
    
      
        and we are attending the Streamys in Beverly Hills on Saturday night
    
     
        my DH's office is at LA Live downtown. Possible for much fun to be had there on a Thurs or Fri night.
    
      
        i can call ahead to try and get a group on list.
    
     
        Or, for a more casual place, 8 Oz is the winning venue. 
8ozburgerbar.com. great beers on tap.
    
      
        any other LAPlurkers have any ideas?
    
      
        Just not sure of the time.
    
    
   
        I'm thinking 7:30 or 8ish
    
     
        never hears of the Edison before! GOtta love it - no Uggs! 
        
        I vote for The Edison, kinda because that's more of a landmark place...but 8Oz is good for a kickback
    
     
        looks like it's big willie's burlesque on Thursday
    
      
        you're going to 
*love* it, 
RogueTess--it is "The Great Gatsby" come alive. Flappers & zoot suiters run the place.
    
      
        Thursday night is kind of crazy. 59c Martini night. Friday night is kind of loungey, which is nice.
    
     
        if you guys want to wait for 
acedtect -then maybe Friday night
    
        phatemokid votes Friday night at Edison so he can stay out later.
    
      
        and he also SMSed me, "Ask eileen is she's ready for phatemokid haha"
    
     
        agrees with 
phatemokid. It's hard for me to be out on a school night 

 Plus I'd love to meet 
acedtect IRL too.
    
       
        To bring DH but y'all must be gentle with my non-geek.
    
     
        oh no! couldn't you push it up a weekend? I'll be there on 4/1. Pleeeeease stay, otherwise I'll see you in Oaktown 
          
        Yeahhhh baby! I don't know, let's ask the 
bigepaz. I will call the Edison tomorrow morning during their operations office hours and ask
    
      
        about reservations, seating etc.
    
      
        i'm picking up 
acedtect from the airport - i think around 5ish
    
       
        sounds like a plan. are you planning on dining at the Edison? this can be arranged. I have never dined there, however...I cannot vouch.
    
     
        But there are a variety of great great restaurants around downtown LA that have suddenly sprung up..it's a renaissance.
    
        missM, if i can get paid for taking people to the best places in LA, i'm SO DOWN. LA is a fun place, you just have to know where to go.
    
      
        it can be really disheartening, it's such a vast city...but I have lived here and had to make the best of it, and i learned to love it.
    
     
        DH used to work at 777 Figueroa and we ate at Engine Co No. 28. Very kewl! DH is now at LA Live, even kewler.
    
      lovemedeux - are reservations the only way to get in at Edison? I ask because we don't know
    
      
        How many people may want to
    
     
        Meet up and not that we expect a big crowd, we also want anyone to come.
    
     
        had a feeling Vinita would respond that way...
    
     
        it isn't the only way, but it is the easiest way. I just want to get some "insurance" is all.
    
     
        still thinks this is totally not fair
    
     
        assures 
vinita pix will be taken. We'll miss you tho!
    
       
 
 vinita we loves you.
    
      
        I say Downtown Disney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
