Dennis,

I think I've resolved most of my computer problems (finally). Anyway, I want to thank you again for the lunch. My wife and I very much enjoyed the company of you and your family.

For all the receipt trackers, a friend had lunch at Gurnee on 10/10. His receipt number is 15720.

I had to be in Chicago yesterday and had lunch at RAIN downtown (receipt #26695). My wife and I reached RAIN about 11:30; the place was full but only about a 10 minute wait to be seated. We left at 1:00 and the numbers were about the same.

Dennis, the t-shirt you bought (Cha Cha climbing the Sears tower) may become a collectors' item. They were made for the Chicago opening only. There are no more on display; however an attentive sales person found two of them in the back area for my wife.

She plans to give one of them to her boss as a birthday present. Jan's boss just returned from WDW, used one of my head-of-the-line passes, lunched at RAIN at loved it.

Once again thank for lunch.

Toby

Dennis and all-

Fort-Worth Star-Telegram had a 4" x 6" color picture of the Rainforest Cafe 3-D sign at Grapevine Mills on the COVER PAGE of the newspaper this morning....the mall is getting lots of press as it closes in on its' opening next Thursday...

RAIN will have its' soft opening on Monday, althought the mall opens a few days later, as mentioned....I'm going to check it out on Saturday morning, and probably show up on Tuesday with the kids--article said you needed an invite for the soft opening but, HEY, I'm a stockholder!

One quick tidbit-the target market for Grapevine Mills is everybody within a 100-mile radius...expecting 100K for opening day....

RAINing in the mid-cities.....Keith

Dennis:

Just got my new issue of Entreprenuer sp? magazine and the Motley Fool column this month highlights Rainforest Cafe. I don't know if they post the column on their website or not. I didn't see anything mentioned that we thread followers didn't already know.
