I'm trying to remember why I can't go to this gtg. The reason seems so wrong right now!!!
Has the gtg already started?

Aloha!

How about naked Asian beans and frank?

Reminds me of a real old joke that starts by asking if you like Chinese food.. another happy ending.

Welcome back hawaiiantraveler!! Hope you had a fun GTG with kuranosuke in Tokyo!

Mahalo Melissa, we had a blast with kuranosuke in Tokyo.....read our trip report on the Asia board when you have some time.

Wish we could join you all.....maybe next time!

Aloha!

Kal: You have to keep track of your buddy, she's in Copper Canyon and didn't bring a laptop like HT.

HT: Any time, just let us know.

I'm still getting over eating veal trotters, veal instestines, lamb heart and ox-tail in Roma. Can I just have broccoli/beef?

bill

Welcome back, Bill!!!!! Did you really eat all that? A man after my (lamb's) heart! Is a trip report coming soon?

And to answer your question....NO. haha

bill: Can't wait to see you, all stuffed with italian goodies. Sorry that authentic shanghainese cuisine doesn't include broc beef.

Bill, sounds like you left out the mountain oysters.

bear900: Are U coming?!

ha-ha-ha....

Yes Mels, we ate all that and more! And because we walked friggin 20 miles a day I actually lost a pound! Now that's a diet plan I could get used to!

Watch for my trip report on the Europe board.

Shang, save some shredded jellyfish for me! amp;

Bill

>< BILLLAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!

Casa benvenuti, mi paisano!!!
Dove le fotos?

Kiao Kalini!

Photos? Don't hold your breath palini. I have over 600 to sift through!

Bill

Bill: You'll have to fight Mels for that because I'm ordering a 2nd plate of jellyfish just for ET and me!

We're trying to rearrange our schedule so we can attend. Are kids invited to this shindig or is it an adult only event?

By the way, we actually live in San Francisco so let us know if there's anything you would like us to do, even if we can't attend the entire event!

withkids: No rules, it's up to you about bringing kids if you don't mind some Fodorites bringing wine, and the place is not fancy, hole in the wall. IF I'm not mistaken, I remember you from the Asian Board. have 2 boys both over 10-years-old?

Shanghainese, right you are! What an excellent memory! We are heading out to China and Japan and would love to attend.

I spend so much time on these forums that I thought it would be nice for the kids to meet some Fodorites!

Just trying to see if we can rearrange a few things....

Shang and ET, please don't make withkids kids eat those feet that Melissa and you all are ordering!!!

iamq: dorso bienvenuto! So, besides the food, did you get to see any scenery? Where in Italy? In Rome: good time- before Easter; bad time-during and after Easter.

WITHKIDS: Welcome!

If you don't mind seeing your kids with a bunch of rowdy (but harmless) adults with possibly adult jokes (remember we are drinking "bastardo" wine!), then please come!

The more the merrier!

ISeeYouTOO: we have a great menu! Knuckles, jellyfish, furry beans, and gooseless goose. All to be washed down with bastardo and champagne.

Lucky us, we're not having "bamboo shooting duck"!

(Now I have to give up this hotel computer- won't wait again for another turn. See you all next week sometime!)
