RE: WebFonts F2F details and proposed agenda - Tuesday, Sep. 3, 2019

Folks,

I need your input for the last topic of the agenda - the WG dinner!
Looking at the available choices of restaurants nearby - we seem to have many good choices of a traditional variety: Oshima Odaiba<https://goo.gl/maps/kTDETNut6mJMPPRE8> (sushi restaurant), Garuva<https://goo.gl/maps/FvTvbznw3Hr2Y6Fy8> (looks like a Korean BBQ place), Gonpachi<https://goo.gl/maps/VrQHdJa2WznL31C88> (Izakaya restaurant [serving meat and other stuff on skewers]), Sizzler<https://goo.gl/maps/5NwQdz9Q3HU9fuwc7> (self-proclaimed "Japanized western restaurant" [buffet style, all you can eat]), and some other choices - all within an easy walk from the venue. I am sure many other fine places are available if we venture out into big city.

To make an informed decision - please share you preferences (culinary, location, etc.) Also, let me know if you plan to join the WG dinner or have some other plans for the evening.

Thank you,
Vlad
