I never even realized that the 19th was the day before Easter Sunday. I hope that doesn’t cause a problem with anyone.
I’ll call up the resturant today and find out how tottler-friendly it is. How old is the little rascal?
8 months old. If necessary, I can bring his high chair. He’s fairly well-behaved, and isn’t very mobile yet.

Well it actually does cause a problem for me because I usually go to the vigil mass that night with my family. Starts at sundown and goes about three hours so I’d be getting out of church about when the reservation was. I could forgo the vigil and go on Sunday I suppose. Just need to figure out how I’m getting everywhere I need to be over that weekend. I’ll keep you posted.
I hope everyone will still be able to attend. They are currently requesting my credit card to hold the reservation and I will get charged for any last minute (lessa than 24 hrs) cancellations. The reservations is set for 8 but we can change that. Right now I have Frank #2, TruPisces, Verrain, MsRobyn, Zappo, Jadis, Meros, Cartooniverse, and several maybes. Those who are maybes need to decide soon as this is less than 2 weeks away.
MsRobyn, they said they have handled little one before so it won’t be a problem if you bring Aaron. They don’t have much of a kiddie menu though, so if he’s on a limited diet than you may want to bring his food from home.
Verrain, I feel bad about the timing of the dinner and the vigil. I wish they had more reservation dates to choose from. Let me know what you decide to do.
I have a stupid question…has anyone know what the parking situation is like near the restaurant? I’m the worst parallel parker in the world, and if I’m going to be forced to park in the street on a busy Saturday night, I might need to beg to meet someone and hitch a ride into the city with them.
If there’s plenty of room to park, then everything’s cool…the directions to the place look easy enough according to Mapquest.
Yay, sushi!! 
I don’t know about the specific area that Morimoto’s is in, but I do know that there are a LOT of parking garages in Philly, so there shouldn’t be a big problem. I’ll see if I can get Verrain to take a walking tour of the area with me and I’ll try to grab a few addresses of some while I’m out.
Aaron’s not coming. I talked to Gramma, and she’s too happy to keep him for the night. I tell ya, I really gotta twist her arm to babysit! 
Robin
Sorry guys, I won’t be able to make it. Something else has come up that I can’t avoid and I’ll be busy all Saturday night. 
Damn, Sal. Sorry to hear it. I was looking forward to seeing you again, too.
(Good news is I’ll be able to see Jadis and MsRobyn again, though. 2 outta 3 ain’t bad.)
Oh, and Jadis, I was talking with the Philly Dopers last night, and they said there’s a parking lot right across the street from Morimoto’s. So you should be set there.
OK… Obviously I’m not going. (I live in Washington St.) But as a true Iron Chef fan, I am REALLY curious to find out how this place is. I’m expecting full reports on the experience when you all get back!
I just got word from the parental units regarding the families plans for Easter weekend…it appears that I will not be in town from Good Friday through Sunday night (stupid livinng at home…) Frank I’m truly sorry for having to pull out, especially after teling you I would definitely be there…in retorspect I should have known better than to ocunton my parents to ever let me know what is going on. If the cancellation costs you any money please let me know, I’ll pay you back at the next bi-weekly.
I’ve got something for Verrain from Sal, so I’m going.
Besides, I desperately need a night away from Aaron and I can always write this off as mental health.
Robin
It’s a shame you won’t make it Meros as I never got a chance to talk to you at the last dinner. Don’t worry though, a cancellation only costs money if it’s under 24 hours notice.
I assume this is still on?
See y’all tonight!
Robin
It better be on. I even have purdy clothes and everything! And I want Cadbury Creme Eggs from Jadis!
If someone could send me their cell number (if y’all have them) and maybe Frank’s real name (since I think he’s who the reservations are under) via email, just so I have some contact info in case anything goes wrong on the way down, that would be great. I’ll be heading out around 7pm, just to be safe.
And yes…I have Cadbury Creme Eggs.
Just sent them out to you a few minutes ago. So if you check this before your e-mail, GO CHECK YOUR E-MAIL!
And you are a Godsend. Thankee for bringing Eggs!
This is pretty tricky. My real name is…Frank. 
Yes, the reservation is under my name (Frank Osborn) and it is for 9:30pm. Don’t forget, business casual attire. The total guest list is 5. Myself, Verrain, MsRobyn, Jadis, & TruePisces.
I’m leaving now.
Just wanted to check in and let y’all know that before I left.
Robin
So how was it?
