February SF Bay Area Meetup - Sunday Brunch and Valentine's Day Movie!

#16
I lurve the Rotunda. It gets my vote. Plus parking is no problem and those taking BART are right there as well.

NM doesn't open until noon on Sundays, so we could get there right when the doors open and run up to lunch!

Mmm strawberry butter ... I can almost taste it now ...

awww I didn't know it got moved to a Sunday!! I probably won't be able to make it... I usually go visit my parents on Sunday :smile:. I guess I'm out for this one unless something comes up. Have fun ladies!
 
#20
So it looks like me, lisachen08, lorihmatthews, and dustypaws that will be inhaling all of that delicious food......I believe I have a few girlfriends who will be joining us as well (some who also dabble in tPF) - let me know if you ladies want to bring anyone else along so I can make reservations accordingly! :smile:
 
#24

It's five from TPF (sailornep, lisachen, lorihmatthews, dustypaws, honu) and then four other girlfriends for the brunch portion. I promise they are all nice.....and I've already told them to ignore all the food/handbag/shoe talk at the other end of the table. :P

The Rotunda made an oops! for the reservation and put it down for Monday. They are trying to fix it, but so far can only guarantee a six top for Sunday....I am supposed to get confirmation soon that they can grant us the extra chairs! Otherwise we'll make it work (prolly two separate tables or squeeze in).

The Metreon is showing the movie at 2:10, 3:10, 4:10, etc....I think we should be fine getting tickets for at least one of those viewings. :smile:

I'm so excited to see you ladies again! And YES Lori - bring your brown watercolor!!

I just found out that the CL Play Day is also at the Rotunda...how funny!

I've just found this thread a minute ago when I was about to reply to FB thread. I don't think I can make this one. Please keep me updated on the next one. Hope you girls have fun :smile:
