Brunch in San Leandro, December 7th

[serene]

[posted, but not crossposted, to alt.polyamory and soc.bi, as well as a couple of listservs and my livejournal.]

stonebender and I are organizing a dim sum brunch on the 7th. Please let me know (at serene@serenepages.org) if you plan to attend. I'd like to know by the first, so I can reserve us a table (or several) for dim sum, but if you want to be a latecomer, just come and we'll manage.

The way we're going to handle this money-wise is as I recall from one firecat and her primary organized: we will divide the entire check (including a tip) by the number of people there, so that the check-division isn't a nightmare. That time, my share ended up between ten and fifteen dollars. I'm not sure how much it will be this time, but if that's too steep for you, talk to me and I'll help.

When: 12/7, Sunday, 11am
Where: East Village Seafood Restaurant
14736 East 14th Street, San Leandro, CA 94578
(510) 667-9888

The restaurant is wheelchair-accessible. If you need other accommodations, please let me or the restaurant know, and we'll manage something.

Hope to see lots of you there.

I was going to be there, but Tim's coming home that day (o frabjous day!) so I'm going to have to decline. Again :(. But it's for a happy reason :).

Oh, it's lovely that he's coming home!!

(Psst! If you wanted to come to stonebender's place the day before, his partner is having an open house, and their house will be decorated to the rafters. It's quite the fun spectacle.)

Well, damn. gridlore and I just inherited FOTR tickets for that afternoon (from dafydd, who had his plans trumped by a family obligation), so we'll have to miss this one. Have a wonderful time.

Rats; I'll miss seeing you. Have a great time.

I'm unlikely to go because most dim sum places put MSG in their food. The OH might go.

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Out of curiosity, in your experience, if I asked them and they said they don't put MSG in their stuff, are they likely to be telling the truth? (I've heard stories about places that say they don't have it, but do.)

[firecat]

If it's actually printed on their menus that they don't use it, I'd believe it. If it's just the word of one person, I'd be suspicious.

'kay. We go there often enough that I'd like to know for sure if they use MSG (not as a pressure for you to go, but because I like to know when people ask me about their dietary restrictions). Thanks! I'll miss seeing you, but I'll see you Monday if you're up to it.

[firecat]

Let me know what you find out about the MSG. If they don't use it and the OH goes, I might go too. But see you Monday for sure!

[serenejournal.livejournal.com]

Will do! I have stonebender on the job; if he doesn't gain access to the menu by Friday, I'll go by there when I hit town.

Haven't gotten any for-sure RSVPs anyway, so I think I'll just make reservations for six and see what happens.

Alas, I will be back in Seattle, using reservations which were intended for a visit with my mother to help take apart her apartment. I'd rather be with youse guys.

I'd rather you were with us, too.
