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

I’m certainly in favor of a Japanese option (I’ve never been to Japan, but love sushi and ramen). No other real diet issues, and will join for dinner.

I am sure many other fine places are available if we venture out into big city.
