And if we can get an idea of who plans on sticking around for cocktail hour, we can make a reservation at La Luna Negra.

cocktail hour, eh? what a novel idea.

what is the coktale you speak of???

i'm likely in.

I'll be seeing the shorts on a schedule about 90 minutes ahead of you guys tomorrow.

After each one I'll text message spoilers to one of you. Just because I can.

Two people voiced "yea" for dim sum; Tom says he's fine with his veggie option there if others would like to try the dim sum brunch at Equator. It only runs until 3, though, so we'd have to get there by 2. It's within close walking range of the One Colorado, and there's plenty of other stuff to see nearby.

We're in for before-movie-lunch, movies, and post-movie-cocktails.

innerSpaceman · 02-15-2008, 12:30 PM

Howzabout 1:30?

But only if Tom's really ok with it. Otherwise, we can find something else.

LSPoorEeyorick · 02-15-2008, 12:45 PM

Tom's really OK. But thank you for being considerate!

I called to see if they take reservations, and they will since we might be a larger party. Can I get a tentative headcount for lunch and one for cocktails?

I'll copy Cherny's style and start with the ones I know now.

Ok, so where is this stuff? Equator Cafe? Pasadena's a mystery to me.

LSPoorEeyorick · 02-15-2008, 01:31 PM

Laemmle One Colorado, Pasadena
42 Miller Alley
Old Pasadena, 91103
626-744-1224

We recommend parking at the structure on Union Street, which is nearby the theater (which, by the way, is tucked into the walking-only Miller Alley area in Old Town.)

Let me photoshop up a map.

mousepod · 02-15-2008, 01:35 PM

Keep in mind that the theater is underground (literally), so cell phones won't work. Be prepared. (I'm talking to you, Lisa - and the stragglers like us and the Cadaverous Delights)

I'm in for cocktails and tapas as well.
