darkstar, you out there?

T-
do you have an address for this -- other than China Town?

I suppose I could gogle it, but hey..while you are at it...is there parking in China Town or do you shuttle in or something. You see, we don't get out much here in the burbs.... ;-)

It's on Broadway, 500 s Broadway I think. You are looking for the Bamboo Plaza, exit at Hill St off the 110, the parking structure is not on Broadway though its on the street just past the Phoenix Bakery if you are coming from Hill St.

They validate for an hour and most of the stores around there will give you more time if you buy anything. PE you can call me if you get lost or need better directions, just remember you are going to the Bamboo Plaza, the Empress is inside there on the 2nd floor.

Thanks Flubis--see you Sunday morning!

flubis, landshark, you guys have any extra people? looks like we have the room. res's are for 12 people.....

It looks like two for sure, still unsure on third

no problem landshark!

i am bringing a champagne that pe mentioned, as i do not buy much champagne, gewurztraminer or riesling.

it's n.v gosset grand reserve brut.

maybe someone has one of the taa gewurzs that we could do an early sampling of?

The other 2 that were going to tag along with me aren't able to make it now. You never know they might call and jump back in. If we have less than 12 they might still let us in without getting a number.

I will bring a Gewurztraminer, I have a regular bottling not one from the TAA. But, I also will bring a Tokay Pinot Gris Clos de Capucins VT.

we have res's. we don't need no stinkin' number! as long as we are not more than 5 minutes late .

pe, are you in charge of my wake up call?LOL

I will be bringing a couple of bottles of champagne
