i'm in, but you may wanna reconsider the aquarium, it is way overpriced, and even that early you will probably have a hell of a time finding a table (or parking for that matter) for as many people as we may have out. if you would like we can take a vote on it at some point in the day

I would scratch the aquarium too.......I worked at Landrys on the boardwalk for almost 2 years and will tell you I have eaten and drank at all the boardwalk restraunts and while I agree all those places are owned by the same people Landrys had the best food. It will be busy cuz its sat but they even have an upstairs, a covered patio, and 3 bars. I have no idea if I could pull any strings about food, but if your with with me and you leave a decent tip you will get hooked up on the drinks for sure.
Just a thought.......
