I got that phone call as well.
As I remember, the double desserts came about because the original plan was to
eat dinner at Les Amis and then go for dessert at the Black Banana. We ended
up eating dessert at both places. Or was that three desserts?

1976 was philadelphia. we went there so we could stay in one of the
hotel's that had the outbreak of Legionnaire's [sp?] Disease; we all
got callbacks from the CDC about how we were feeling [i felt good
about the SIGGRAPH conference, thanks]. i'll never forget the double
desserts we ordered [and ate] at a restaurant called the Black Banana
as i see more names go buy i'm increasingly sorry not to be joining you
best regards to all
