He scheduled 2 morning meetings and I threatened to do him bodily harm if he makes me late to the meet.

Originally Posted By PDX_Mousefan so here's my story. I was waiting for my mother to bring my son back home. I wanted to leave at 10:30 in case of trafic. 10:40 rolls around and finaly they arrive. I get the kid into my car, hop on the freeway and head to Washington Square. I get there in record time, amazingly little trafic, it's about 11:05. Parking lot at a stand still. Park get to CF at 11:15, walk in from outside think at first where's the line, go around corner andsee about 50 or so people waiting. Then a thought comes to mind, I don't know who I'm looking for. Now I'm hoping that someone will notice a set of golden ears on my son. Nothing. I'm worried that the meet got canceled and I did'nt know about it. Well, I wait around till about 11:45 and finaly decide to leave. I'm sure I could have done more to find everyone, but the whole thing became overwhelming. Anyway I hope everybody had a good time and hope to maybe catch you all some other time and place.

Originally Posted By piperlynne I just got back. Yeah, it was a bit of a long drive, helping a stranded motorist in Olympia, ferry ride and stop for cat litter on the way home. PDX, we arrived around 11:30-45 and just went up to the hostess table and asked for a large group. Of course there were 3 large groups LOL! We almost thought the one under "mail" was secret code, but luckily we found everyone in the bar. I had a blast. It was so great to meet everyone and see CJ and Paulette again. And thanks to chickendumpling and mele, doug via gaydsnywitch for the treats! I'm just sorry we had to leave so soon and didn't get a chance to chat much with the other side of the table. Moving was a little difficult with yummy food and cheesecake to devour. LOL!! Oh, and Pixie - I had the chocolate mousse cheesecake. Yummy! Now I have to go remember all the things I promised to email goodgirl . . .
Originally Posted By tapdancemom Pixie and all other interested LPers...We had a great time and great food, what a combo. I met gaydsnywitch and his brother about 10:45 just outside The Cheesecake Factory. Goodgirl showed up shortly thereafter with Lisann22, MissCandice and Melekalikimaka. Goodgirl being the good organized girl that she is had a piece of paper with LP on it, holding it dutifully at the door while everyone went inside to get a table. Shortly after we were seated JazzCat and AGoofyGuy found us (they are on their way to Disneyland via car and stopped to eat with us. Peperlynne and BurtonsSeattleSally showed up next. Chickendumpling was last to arrive, but came bearing gifts. What a sweetheart. I got Christmas Jelly Belly Beans, yummy! Melekalikimaka had Christmas Cookies for all in cute little cone containers. Yummy too! For those of you who haven't been to a Cheesecake Factory, oh my gosh, so good and what choices. I had the Farafalle garlic chicken pasta, so tasty. Goodgirl had the Orange Chicken, that was my second choice, looked great. Everything that was ordered looked great. Mele, MissCandice and I all had the Godiva Chocolate Cheescake, can honestly say, THE BEST CHEESCAKE I'VE EVER HAD. Lisann22 and the fresh banana and it looked great, our server said it is his very fave of them all. The only thing that would have made it better was if we were at a table that we could have visited easier at. PDX_Mousefan, wish you could have found us. It was fun hearing about goodgirl, gaydsnywitch and Lisann's recent Disneyland trip, we all wish we lived closer.
