ap1234 Posted August 27, 2014 Posted August 27, 2014 Is anybody going to be in LA the evening before the AGM (Tuesday, Sept. 9th)? If you want to grab dinner, let me know. I'm from out of town and would be happy to meet up with other people the night before.
reddog66 Posted August 28, 2014 Posted August 28, 2014 Gentlemen, In reviewing dinning establishments close to the meeting, a place has been located that we thought everyone might consider appropriate. Reservations have been made for a very small group at 7:00 pm on 9-9-14 under the name Mr. Mulliner. It has been requested to pass the word that everyone will be going dutch. If you have any interest in joining, please call and let them know so they can reserve seating at 213-623-8301.
merkhet Posted September 4, 2014 Posted September 4, 2014 reddogg66 I tried calling to add another person on the reservation to Mr. Mulliner, but they told me that there's no reservations that night under that name. This is the Nickel Diner, right? I've put down a reservation for 6 people @ 7pm on September 9th, 2014 under the last name King. If anyone would like to join me, please let me know.

Was the Mr. King versus Mr. Mulliner reservation issue for tomorrow night resolved?

merkhet Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 There wasn't significant interest as of yesterday for the dinner, so I was thinking of moving the dinner to a lunch after the DJCO meeting. Would there be more interest in a lunch versus dinner the night before?

Would there be more interest in a lunch versus dinner the night before? I'd be down for both. I've never been to LA (except once... I was at an Amtrak bus stop for 45 minutes...), but for lunch I hear Philippe french dip is pretty good. And it's very close by to where the DJCO meeting is happening.
OracleofCarolina Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 Lunch sounds good..and maybe a coffee before!
reddog66 Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 merkhet We would love to join you guys for whatever is feasible. Made the reservations during labor day weekend perhaps they lost them?. Will be flying in LAX in the morning. Please let me know what you all decide. I have for quite some time been interested in your thoughts on some things and wanted to pick your brain a little. Thanks, reddog66
JBird Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I'm happy to join up for lunch afterwards as well.
AJDelphi Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 I will be attending the meeting as well and would like to join everyone for lunch afterwards!
merkhet Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 It looks like lunch on Wednesday is the resounding winner. We have a couple of possibilities lined up for lunch. I will probably spend most of tomorrow afternoon bumming around Santa Monica, so if anyone else is around, PM me your number, and we can try to meet up.
west Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Since I'm not sure when I'm going to get in tomorrow, I'll also just pass on dinner tomorrow. A bummer, since the place sounded pretty good... That being said, I'll see you all for lunch! Do we want to convene somewhere and then head out from there?
netnet Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 There are a number of places within walking distance of the meeting. The best value seems to be the Black Fig--really good, five stars on Yelp and cheap ( with some vegetarian dishes for those who want it). The other places around are probably double to quadruple the price (those places with 14 dollar burghers) in the Art district. The Black Fig is small so I'll call ahead to see about seating. (They said that they could accommodate a party of 8 during lunch, but that may have been "marketing". ) A back-up could be Umami Burger, limited menu, with one or two veggie options. http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-black-fig-los-angeles The Black Fig 960 E 3rd St Los Angeles, Backup http://www.yelp.com/biz/umami-burger-los-angeles-11 Umami Burger 738 E 3rd St Los Angeles, CA (Eat Drink Americano is good but really, really crowded at lunch)
Avyalake Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Meeting up for lunch still on? Would like to join if you are. Attending today.
merkhet Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Still on. Come find me after the meeting. I'm wearing a blue polo shirt and orange sneakers. It'll be hard to miss me.
merkhet Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 If anyone is downtown already, I'm over at the Novel Cafe.
dcollon Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I can't wait to read the notes from this meeting. Here is the first Bloomberg article: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-09-10/munger-says-burger-king-tax-critics-stark-raving-mad-.html

JAllen Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 I took notes/tweeted a few quotes here: https://twitter.com/jallencapmgmt. Every tweet from today was about the DJCO meeting even if I didn't expressly declare that. Hope that's helpful. Also ValueWalk quotes Alex Rubalcava and I in this Storify post: http://www.valuewalk.com/2014/09/charlie-munger-comments-from-djco-meeting/
