    My boyfriend and I managed to make a reservation for 4 people at The French Laundry for tomorrow, 8/25, at 6 pm. Our other two people backed out earlier today, and apparently, according to TFL policy, we have to either find two more people or forfeit our reservation entirely. Since I came out here all the way from Chicago, I'd really (really, really) like not to be turned away at the door. If you or anyone you know is available tomorrow (I trust LTHers), email me at my screen name at gmail.com. That's easier for me to check on a mobile device than PMs.

    Thanks. Here's hoping....

    i cant believe a restaurant would punish you by not letting just the 2 of you come. personally, that would make me not want to give them my business. justjoan

    I'd post on Chowhound too . . . before beating up your "friends."

    As I was about to submit my Chowhound post, the multiple Facebook messages we put out seem to have paid off. A friend of a friend of a friend who works at Facebook said that he and his friend were in for tomorrow. Assuming they show up tomorrow (and I think they will - they said to add them as friends on Facebook), I'll have a report this weekend. The beauty of social networking....

    congrats! (and whew!) Your payment for all of our efforts is a full report. Pictures optional :D

    Have a blast!

    Very cool! Don't forget to also send pics of you & your new friends enjoying an awesome evening to the ex-friends that bailed on you ;)

    That is such great news. I almost checked on line for flights to see if my husband and I could meet you, but alas work and clients called. :wink:
