Well, what I'm still thinking is the plan is hitting Uno's after the 
show, since they didn't seem to have any vast difficulties accommodating 
us two years ago(?), and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

That'll need a head count, though and, to be polite, reservations.

Last time was one of my funniest memories of any Rhinelander gathering 
ever. No one could decided what to do, and the night was getting colder 
and more hunger-inducing every minute. We were in one place that was too 
crowded and expensive. So I was grumpy and tummy-rumbly, and I announced 
to no one in particular that I was going next door to Uno's to see if 
they could seat us. I think one or two people said they'd come with me. 
So I walked in, sussed out the manager in the back corner behind the bar, 
and asked if he could find room at the in for me and just a few friends. 
He looked at me a moment, then his eyes grew wide and his jaw slack. I 
wondered what I'd inadvertently said, if somehow the thought of real live 
_people_ in his restaurant terrified him-- and then I turned around to 
discover the entire Lostee List had quietly followed me, in a line 
stretching through the bar and out the door, and all were staring at said 
manager, mutely beseeching, like a pack of pizza-starved Oliver Twists.

Except we tipped WAY better than Oliver could have, and I know I, at 
least, am not that thin.
