W3C SC Dinner in NYC

Hello All!

We discussed last week having a dinner together on Wednesday, June 21st in NYC before the F2F on Thursday and Friday. It seemed last week that about 7 of us would be in town and available.

I wanted to confirm that we have a dinner reservation at the original Benihana tomorrow night at 5:45pm.
Benihana
47 West 56th Street, New York, NY 10019     212.581.0930<tel:+12125810930>

Rick and I thought it would be fun and I'll admit that I'm looking forward to seeing Bill M with a drink in a tiki cup and one of you ending up with a shrimp in a pocket. (And Bill M- if you want to argue that it isn't so foody- I've seen Bobby Flay eating there and having loads of fun learning from their main chef).  And maybe after dinner we'll wander over to the Time Warner Center so you can check out the new Amazon Store that taunts us all.

I need two things from you-

  1.  Please confirm if you are going to make it so I can make sure we have enough seats around the steam table
  2.  Please let me know if the 5:45 reservation is too early or the place too cheesy- I can certainly find someone else if this doesn't feel right

I look forward to seeing you all this week! (And for those who don't make dinner- we'll take pics)
