For dinner tonight, Don and I headed back up to midtown, and ended up at Eatery.  I had their Black Tea Encrusted Salmon salad, and Don had their Mac'n'Jack.  Everything was quite deelish, and we had one of their better servers tonight too - meaning, not aloof and snooty.

I also tried something I've seen on their wine list: sparkling shiraz.  It was OK, but it was surprisingly sweet.  However, I had ordered it as I was finishing my meal, so it was basically my dessert.

DR Jose, did you tell me how you ended up at the Grape Leaf Grill? That is indeed the place I was speaking of...

Jose, don't you charge extra for the full lap?

I don't charge, I'm simply left a "convenience fee".

SETC used to have their Fall convention in Atlanta every Fall - at least until the Best Western downtown almost doubled their rates from one year to the next.  The local hosts would try to take us out of Atlanta proper every now and then to give us some "space" from the convention.  One year, one of the local arrangements personnel took us to the Grape Leaf Grill.  We also ate at a fabulous Italian place in Buckhead one year, but alas, I can't remember the name of the restaurant.

*There is actually talk of the Fall Convention returning to Atlanta in 2009 since the convention rates have seemed to come down again, and have gotten more competitive due to the hotel "craze" of the past couple of years.

Is a convenience fee anything like a handling charge or a facility tax?

I've been to/in the Alex Theater.  I saw a concert presentation of "My Favorite Year" there.  Nice theatre, and I loved the courtyard area.

OH!

When I got home tonight, I noticed there was a package for me sitting in mail pile.  Lo and behold, it was a Thank You/Holiday Gift from Disney Talent Casting office: Gourmet Cookies!  :)

For those paying attention, of course, the Alex was where we just did our fundraiser.  And where we did the Julius Wechter benefit several years ago.

So...  Anyone else excited about the newest "America's Next Top Model"?  ;)

Actually, my roommates and I were happy about who won, but, frankly, none of us really cared about any of the contestants this cycle - including the winner.  This year's batch of contestants just seemed to annoying, each in their own 'special' way.  ;)

I have a friend flying in from Dallas tomorrow.  I just IMed him a few minutes ago, and asked what time he was supposed to get into town.  He said he was schedule to land at 4:30.  Then I asked him if he had been following any of the weather reports for tomorrow.  He had not.  Well... He just applied to fly stand-by on the first two flights out tomorrow morning.

*I also hope the weather does not interfere with the surprise birthday weekend for my niece, Alexandra.  Especially since I got them tickets for Mary Poppins on Friday.
