Cynthia,
Maybe we can do the dinner at Betty's Wok?

Yes, Thursday night is the night. I've already committed to McCormick & Schmick's in the hotel. I feel that there are some who would not be able or willing to attend if if were elsewhere. There are some who are driving or flying in at the last minute and are already going to be on their last bit of energy - and they really want to attend the dinner. I'd hate to make it less convenient for them.
For example, Rochelle Cheever is flying in from Italy and at the time she arrives, she'll just be able to make the dinner. But, can you imagine after a flight like that - she'll be beat.
Jonathan Linton is flying home to NJ at 3:30pm, plans to be out the door to drive to Boston by 4:30pm and will make the dinner, but if traffic is bad, he might be a bit late. I don't want him to have to go hunting by himself for a restaurant outside the hotel.
