aykayeh, local color from Irvine? Dinner at Buco last night with IHub PPHM stockholders was greatfun. My flight from SFO to JohnWayneAirport(!!) was 30 minutes late, and when I arrived about 8PM, all (15-20) were assembled in a private room at a long table reminiscent of DaVinci's portrayal of the last supper, with FTM (free the mice) at table center and virtually everyone present who had said here they would be...and more. Quite a diverse group, really, with a surprising and gratifying representative of very young people (almost all old enough to trade stocks though). There were no PII surviving patients present we could relate to, and no PPHM execs. Everyone had ordered by the time I arrived, and so I was told not to, that we would share what promised to be large portions of pasta, calamari, etc., and we were not disappointed on that. I had a large Peroni on tap, and was interested to see that about half those present were drinking tea/water, and the others beer and wine in moderation, auguring well for today's performance. I would rate the food "okay", but I am a foodie. The price was perfect! At one point I said to FTM, "we are paying for your dinner tonite," and he said, "I did the same thing you did. I didn't order anything." Very nice evening, all-in-all, and some great folks involved here. I suffered an unprovoked upgrade at the Wyndham to a "king-suite" which was imo entirely appropriate. The bar was still open so I had an Amstel lite. At my age I didn't even cause a blip on any of the lovely radar screens sitting about there, so retired alone about 11:30 to my king-suite where I am typing this. We are all dedicated to bringing back a scoop to the board, so stay tuned....
