valerie: Are you certain you want to join this mad, mad crowd? 
iamq: I have permission from Shanghainse to dance on the table. Why don't you join me, after you have had gullet-fulls of vodka? We could do the Cossack dance together with Faina as instructor.
Mels: we have to get together on the wine! Besides the bastardo, which we have to discount because it may have turned to vinegar by now - are we going to have champagne or white wine? Please not everyone chipping in at the same time over which wine to select \

iamq: I'd never do that to you! I have the duty to maintain civil order so we don't get declared "personea non gratea" from the restaurant.
Katie: Are you coming?! I believe you'll be number 15, I'm starting a separate post for RSVP/head count middle of next week.
As far as GTGs go, different Fodorites organize different events, some large some small, my last one in SF was with easytraveler 3/31 on a mission to find the best xiao long bao in SF. She posted a TR which lead to this GTG.

I know some of the attendees prefer white wine over red. I love champagne, but will go for anything as I don't really drink. Just to keep IAMQ company 
Katie: we don't have regular get-togethers, they can be anything from 2 Fodorites spending a day together to a big meeting like this one, when an out-of-towner is visiting.
Hmmm... how many out-of-towners are visiting? Melissa, Paula. Most of others are not really locals. To think of it, I'll be the only one living in the city? Heeeeeeeeeellllllllpppppppppppppp

Crazed? Hmm... ginger green tea does a nice job of helping me get through my day.

I've been around for awhile and the GTGs and mini-GTGs always interest me. Taking the virtual life offline! It just sounds neat and reminds me (not that I need reminding but!) that behind all of these screen names are real people. LOL.. I make it sound so dramatic--but you know what I mean right?

Speaking of meeting "real" people....mcnyc just came through Honolulu on a cruise ship. On the day her boat arrived, I waited at our guest services kiosk in case she happened to come by to ask for me. Well, at about 330 in the afternoon, a gal came to the kiosk and asked for coupons and was looking for maps and stuff. We gave her what we had. Our eyes locked, but I wasn't sure if I should ask if she knew M___ C___ on the ship.
Well, it turns out, a few emails later, it was HER! And she said that when she saw me, she thought of asking if I was Melissa. We're both kicking ourselves for not asking the other if we were a fodorite. You KNOW a fodorite when you see them.

I can certainly look into it.
Shanghainese... could you please email me at [email protected] when you have a chance so I'll have a contact--could you include a rough number's estimate too?
Sounds like a good time. I was in San Francisco that same week last year and it was gorgeous. The same weekend I went up to Yosemite and it snowed. I'm not joking--just one of the many reasons I love Northern California--crazy weather!

I have added "frog sushi" to my short list of "things I won't eat." Seriously, there are a few things I won't eat!
