Dear everyone,

I'm turning 31*, and I would be thrilled if you would join me to eat a monster Chinese feast at my favorite restaurant in the city: The Grand Sichuan on Canal Street.

The idea is this: We'll pack the place to the gills, and then order a gigantic variety of dishes on the menu so we can try everything.

Because I want to try so many different dishes, you should come even if I barely know you, or you don't live in NYC, or you don't like me and don't want to talk to me (very plausible, and totally fine).

Afterwords, we'll go Karaokeing for the rest of the night until around 4:00 AM at which point I'll just head to my office and start covering the early going in the European markets.

Anyway, we did this last year, and it was awesome, and I want this year to be 10 times better.

Bring anyone you want, or anyone I've forgotten or whatever.

Joe

*You may not think 31 is a big milestone, but I like prime numbers, and I won't be a prime again until 37.
