So we ate at Maggiano’s Little Italy It’s family style all you can eat italian.  $25 per person before tax and gratuities.  Was great.  The food was great, we got salads, appetizers (stuffed portabella mushroom, calamari), linguine with clams, chicken piccata, salmon, veal mushroom ravioli, tiramisu and creme brulee. And I repeat, it was all you can eat!! Can’t beat that.  The kicker though is that everyone had to choose the family style all you can eat menu thing.  We had 12 people and luckily we all agreed to do it but a few of them had eaten before they came but they opted for it anyway for the sake of the group.  If anyone doesn’t choose that option you can’t do it.  We all had a really good time.  Anyway, I’m assigned to do the  outings over the summer so I think I’m going to suggest the beach at Corona del Mar – maybe a picnic on the beach. 

I asked Angela to come with me to the film festival and she said yes so yay.  I asked her in front of Kathy tho so I wonder if Kathy thought I should invite her.  I guess I should have but I’m not sure I want to make this a big deal where I bring lots of people.  Maybe I’ll ask Angela what she thinks next week.  I’m gonna hang out with her for lunch.  Anyway, gonna go watch american idol (love my tivo~)
