I posted a report about our meal
here.
A really big thanks to Alan for having the wherewithall to put this together. It was great to be in such lovely company with such an excellent group, especially after ~2 years of rarely going out in groups this size. Ordering power, yes!
Thanks to everyone who brought beverages to share, especially Tom for his terrific, home-brewed sansho pepper mead. I'm sorry I came empty-handed on the beverage front. I am really out of practice and hope to remedy that going forward.
The evening really was a win-win-win. It was great seeing everyone and spending time together. It had been way too long.
The meal was excellent and hopefully, we gave Rainbow a little bit of a boost. They're definitely struggling right now.
I also want to add that no one was late, there were no no-shows and everyone had exact change. That was some all-star comportment!
