Okay...who's making the reservations? Are we still planning on "La Bodega" or are we meeting at "El Mesón"?

Also, since I'm on vacation, I have a skewed perception of how late is okay...are we planning on dinner on Spain time (after 9:30)? Whenever we've gotten together out here in LA, it's been after 9:00. That's fine for a weekend, but I'm flexible.

Also, my sister said she recommend El Mesón, but in all honesty, she's never been to La Bodega. Personally, I'm just looking forward to meeting a few of you, and having an engaging evening.

Please post or e-mail me the particulars! Thanks, and ¡hasta el 22!

I'm happy with either place.

I was thinking about 7 p.m. or so, but can do it later if that works better for the rest of you. Depends on whether it's for dinner or for after-dinner drinks, snacks, and chat.

Who's still planning on meeting?

I'm planning to be there! 7 pm works for me as a starting point, as I have at least an hours drive up from Northfield. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone! josie

Okay, given the lukewarm feedback on La Bodega and the recommendation by several people (including my neighbor, who loves it)for El Mesón, how's this:

El Mesón, 7:00 p.m. Wednesday August 22.

The address is 3450 Lyndale Avenue South. The phone number is 822-8062.

I just called and made a reservation for 6-8 people. I didn't know about smoking preferences. Could you let me know about that as I told them I would call back tomorrow with a more definite number and smoking details.

So who's coming?

Saludos,
Tara

I'm planning to attend, Tara, and I prefer non-smoking. See you tomorrow! josie
