I will absolutely be there! Yes, yes indeed. I am driving through hell, high water, AND possibly some snow to get to you all. So please, please come if you can, as I'd love to congratulate you all on your outstanding achievements. :D ...and bribe you for plot bunnies? >.> <.< Ohohoho!

Any of the above sound fine; I am really familiar with House of Emperor, though, and would be happy to try a new restaurant. Yelp.com is also a great review source (so says the Yelp Elite 2011 member...).

I'd like a place we can hang around and talk for a while. Maybe Boraan's Vietnamese (Naperville) Since Oberweiss is next door? I don't much like Jason's Deli, Colonial Cafe or House of Emperor. I've been trying to think of a place where we could take our time, but nothing is springing to mind. It should be Barry and me, and possibly even Sabrina. By the way, Heather is bringing a friend, Bill.

[/quote] I will definitely bring plot bunnies :-) It's up to you whether you take these or hold out for custom ones (alas, I probably won't have time to make any before Saturday, though you could always let me know your preferences in case any time slot opens up)

I hope it's not too late to respond! Joe and I are definitely coming. I've never had Vietnamese food before and haven't really had any Thai, this should be an interesting experience. :)

I had my first exposure to Vietnamese cuisine a few years ago when I was in Kanata (a suburb of Ottawa) for work. Very delicious.

Hey Tim, Looks like I can make it if you can squeeze me in. My son has a party at Chasers at the mall 5:45 to 8 so I need a place to hang out for a few hours and this is close. Only had Vietnamese food once before so I'll check out the menu. Linda

You're in :-) Paula had to cancel (though maybe she can join us at Oberweis next door after her recital?).

Sabrina (bookgrrl) doesn't think she'll make it.
