AES DINNER DOWN TO THE WIRE
Okay, Boys and Girls, here's what I have learned. The restaurant wanted us to
vote on the dishes so they could pick the MOST POPULAR. Now I know some of you have special needs (i.e. no meat) and the restaurant has ASSURED me that they will take special care of you if there aren't enough non-meat dishes below. Since not all of you responded. (respondees are in BOLD on the attendee list below), I used the ratio of responses to apply to the entire group. Tonight, I told the restaurant "41". They will allow wiggle room of +/- 3 so we can be up to 44 and that should be OK. They then picked the top choices from the whole menu. Platters of all of these will go around family-style. (Actually, this sounds like a lot of fun!). Compared to previous years, this should be an "intimate" dinner. And, hey, if you lost your favorite dish, almost nothing I chose made the cut! If you need to you can call the restaurant directly and talk to Amber or Chris. DATE: Thursday, October 28, 2004 PLACE: Buca di Beppo 855 Howard St. 415-543-7673 COST: $27.50 includes everything, gratuity, and tip, (except alcohol). We have until 9:30PM at the restaurant. DIRECTIONS: Go out of the hall and turn West (away from the bay, towards Twin Peaks). You are at 747 Howard St. Just go to 855, one block away. TIME: 7 PM (one hour after the close of show that day) We will meet at the Belden booth (#1414) at a casual 6 PM, at the end of the show, and proceed en masse, probably around 6:30 PM. Or you can just meet us at the restaurant. I used the actual count of those who responded to determine the ratio of choices to reflect on the entire 41 meals, which will be as follows: ANTIPASTI Garlic Bread with Mozzarella Fried Calamari INSALATE Caesar Salad Mixed Green Salad with Prosciutto & Gorgonzola ENTREES/PASTA Chicken with Lemon Baked Ravioli Eggplant Parmigiana Penne Cardinale Chicken Saltimbocca SIDE DISHES Garlic Mashed Potatoes Green Beans DOLCI Tiramisu Torta Doppia Cioccolato Do you want to go? It's not too late to send me a reservation, but I am only allowed 3 more than the 41 signed up below. Just show up at the Belden booth #1414 at the end of show Thursday, or meet us at the restaurant. This year, AES has (finally) set up online "exhibits only" registration. No more paper passes. The address is: http://www.aes.org/events/117/vip.cfm?27 Steve Lampen Multimedia Technology Manager Belden CDT THE LIST SO FAR: An asterisk means you said OK to Friday, but we've moved to Thursday and you didn't re-confirm. BOLD means you sent me your menu choices. (You have been formally placed in my Hall of Fame for putting up with all this!) Francois Orban San Leandro.
