Thanks for posting the first message on this board. I live in Dallas and the PF Chang's here is packed too, but surprisingly it is viewed as a chic, trendy restaurant despite the fact that it is a chain. The bar is where the beautiful single people of North Dallas and Plano come to mingle. The food is great, and the people watching is great too. I got in with 300 shares at the IPO price through DLJ Direct, so I am pretty happy with my 90% return in one month. Let's just hope this is not another one of those soar, crash and burn restaurant stocks (e.g. Planet Hollywood, Rainforest Cafe, etc.). I'm encouraged by the strength of the business concept, lack of competition, and potential for repeat business. On a side note, I just spent the weekend with an old college roommate who is a Principal with Austin Ventures who helped fund your company. I hear it is a a really good place to work.

On business in Atlanta, ate at restaurant there Monday night on recommendation of business associate. It just opened in October and has apparently been packed ever since. Had a very enjoyable evening. Great concept, good food. Totally packed all evening. Made enough of an impression that I left hoping it was publicly traded. I'll make my purchase tomorrow. Regarding comparisons to Planet Hollywood, who cares if the concept dies in 3 years? It's what happens in the next 18 months that matters to me. I think there's a lot of potential. GSD
