Since I seem to have started this thread, I'll volunteer myself for this 
duty. Also, what day would everyone like to meet? I'm open for most anyday 
except Feb 14-17, and I hope I'm not alone. :-)

Yummmmm... dim sum! I'd love dim sum. I think this is my final vote. I was 
visiting my wife at school last weekend and they had a dim dum tasting in 
her dorm. It was very good, but unfortunately it was just enough to get my 
appetite going and now I've had a hankering for it ever since. :-(

Sounds good. I don't think I've ever had it, though I'm game to try it. Any 
chance it would be like Mongolian bbq?

Now this sounds very interesting. What exactly is Indonesian food like? 
Anything like Vietnamese? Speaking of which, is there a good Vietnamese 
place in Boston? We had just found one back in NC, but then we moved and 
I've only been to the one in Arlington center so I don't have much to judge by.

I second this thought. Pubs are nice, but I'd love to do something a little 
out of the ordinary. Plus since I don't drink, a lot of the reason for 
going is already gone. For some reason, Asian just really appeals to me 
lately. :-)
