I'm at LinuxWorld right now, but based on the suggestions that keep rolling in on my previous flashmob blog entry, it seems like the concensus idea which I like the best is to coordinate something outside the new Cheesecake Factory in the Arboretum. I happen to like this idea just because I never understood the hype behind these restaurants-- really, to me, I find it rather horrid to have to wade through advertisements on my menu as well as the room itself is a glorified cafeteria with columns to distract you from this fact.

Anyway, people seem to flock regardless and I never quite got it. The irony is that where now sits another "Something for Everyone!" cookie-cutter corporate dining experience, the previous tenant was the independent movie theater, Arbor 7. Wouldn't it be appropriate if we all randomly showed up doing such things as asking the Factory hostess for directions to the Arbor 7, showtimes for your favorite indie movie, or, perhaps, their opinions on the cinematography in Waking Life?

That movie made me nervous. I'm sure the hostess will be too. Thoughts?

Brilliant idea, hitting the Cheesecake Factory.

Sigh. My sweetheart and I *met* at the Arbor (at an AFS screening of Dinner at Eight). A month later it was closed down, so that a chain restaurant could sell 1600 calorie carrot cake. Sigh...
