In most years we've had an informal get-together the night before DLV officially starts. These have always been very informal and "no sign-up, just show up" in nature.
Last year we had a good turnout doing this at Margaritaville. In recent years we've had good turnouts at Satay and Firefly on Restaurant Row and (of all places) Denny's downtown.
Any suggestions for this year's informal Pre-DLV get together?
