We're set for noon, this Thursday, 9/18. I need to give S&W final numbers one day before the event, so if you're planning on coming (or if your plans have changed and you can't make it) please post here or shoot me an email before 12:00PM, 9/17.
Given the popularity of the event and the table configuration, S&W cannot guarantee that they'll be able to accept last-minute attendees (they usually do, but still)."Don't you ever underestimate the power of a female." Bootsy Collins

Post #4 - August 21st, 2008, 8:44 amI will have been married for all of four days on 9/18, and my non-cynical newlywed bliss would probably ruin the mood of this event. I'll pass and let the real He-Men have their fun.

I should point out that women are always invited to this event.* We're just that open-minded.

Cool. I made reservations for 20, and we're getting close to that, but I'm sure I can always add on another person or two, if it comes to that.

Post #28 - September 10th, 2008, 11:58 pmI've always loved reading about this event, though comments like this from Jyoti at the last one raised an eyebrow:steak was overdone and the oysters devoid of any liquid
Is there any plan this year for a more coordinated order to focus on high-reward menu items and/or specific instructions to the kitchen (if they'll put up with them, given the service comments from last year)?
Does last year's (doing receipt math, probably wrong) $95-ish per person still seem ballpark? About what time was settle-up / departure? Just want to have an idea about what level of excess to expect (for personal and general benefit), already knowing that the company will be the best part of the meal, as always with LTHers.

The meal will be totally excessive, there will be no plan, the service will probably not be the best, since the restaurant is jammed and there is the additional element of the wine pourers clogging up the aisles and if you get out of there for less than $100, consider it a gift. I can hardly wait. It should be a great time!
