Hello Guy,
The diner of the TC6 will be on Friday evening. It will be a very special diner. See below. However, some specific criteria will take place: You have to be on time at the restaurant 8:00 pm. You cannot eat during the performance (Approximately 5 minutes every 15 mn). The number of seats will be exactly the number reserved. So it will be definitely impossible to add somebody after the reservation that I have to finalize next Tuesday evening. So, I will reserve exactly the number of attending persons to the TC6 on Otto list at the date of Tuesday evening. If somebody of the list does not want to participate in, please let me know (the seat is quite expensive). Sorry for this constraints but I think the diner will be memorable. I went there two times: it's gorgious. Guy 21 seats + 2 late (Olli and Lorne: do you think that you can be in the center of Paris by 8:00pm on Friday evening?)
Olli is late since they have to be in the final panel discussion of AN"06 ;-) He will be with us at the dinner for sure. Lorne said that he cannot attend unfortunately. Also Kiril will be with us. He has to leave Saturday morning.
My count is 25 delegates for participation on Friday (all but Lorne).
Another person who has not yet answered is Samir Tohme. Maybe you can reach him easier by phone.
Furthermore we have 3 extra people from Tadao's side.
Thus the actual number of people would be 29 if all come.
Furthermore I suggest that we invite the "specially invited people": Francis Lee, Pedro Cuenca, Josef Sole Pareta.
Makes a total count of 32 persons.
Best regards Otto
