Concerning Dinner Thursday Night.

Hi, for those of you who don't know me, my name is KL and I'm going to be taking the reins on dinner for our first night at Dragon*Con. [livejournal.com profile] myras_girls was kind enough to do some snooping around, and I can happily say that we're going to be eating at Max Lager's Wood-Fired Grill & Brewery at 7:30 on Thursday evening. The grill is located at 320 Peachtree St., one block North of the Hyatt at Peachtree & West Peachtree. If you would like, you can visit their website here.

Now, we're trying to make this as easy as possible on everyone, so I need a little bit of information from you. Em would like to emphasize that we would like to keep this as close to our immediate parties and their roommates/drivers as possible. It would be impossible to wrangle restaurant space for 40 people.

[Poll #1451808]

We're all going to be incredibly busy, and I know that once people get to Atlanta things sometimes get scattered, so it is your responsibility to let us know if your plans change. It's one thing to ask for a table for 20 people and only have 15 show up, it's another if the problem is the other way around. (On the flip side, it's my responsibility to let you all know if something changes on this end. Man.) The restaurant does seem to have an online reservation service which I'd like to utilize if possible, so poke your friends if you know they're part of our group and get them to answer ASAP. I'll put in the reservation Thursday morning before I leave for Atlanta if at all possible.

If you'd like my phone number so you can let me know if things change or if you get lost or something, please leave a comment asking for it and I'll leave it for you in a screened reply. :)

ETA- I have reserved space for twenty people! If all of the maybes show up we'll just beg to pull up chairs. Aaaaaand...I'm spent!

Garr...I already know I can't make it. I have to be at the Alliance meeting at school then for Board Elections. D:

I'll see you later that night though! So long as you're still planning on seeing Voltaire. ♥

Do I seem like the type of person who would back out of seeing Voltaire? :D ♥

I AM NOT GOING TO GET ANYTHING DONE TOMORROW. Who am I kidding? I'm not getting anything done today.

I want to come but at this point I don't know if I can.

If I do I will more than likely drag Bold Face along too.

I have you down as maybes. And I have your number, so push come to shove I can call and bug you.

Oh crap, I have to pack.

[identity profile] momebie.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You and me both. I tried to pack some things early, but alas. There's so much that doesn't work with.

[identity profile] melayneseahawk.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
For various reasons, I'm flying this year, and trying to pack all the crap I need to bring is awful. I'm almost certainly going to wear my knee-high 4" heeled boots on the plane, since it'll be easier than packing them. Any bets on how many guys start following me around the airport?

[identity profile] momebie.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
My vote is five. Hee. I hope flying in those won't be too uncomfortable.

[identity profile] melayneseahawk.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
The shoes are surprisingly comfy. You've met them, actually; they're what I was wearing when I had my feet on the table at the Slash Panel last year.

Ah, sadly I was not at the slash panel last year. I weep for the time the boots and I could have had. :p

[identity profile] green-grrl.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
On the plane, fine, but taking off your shoes to go through security check? Time consuming!

[identity profile] melayneseahawk.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
They have a zipper. *evil grin*

[identity profile] green-grrl.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Eeeeeexcellent!
ext_289215: (MCR Frank Hm.)

[identity profile] momebie.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
Do they also come with little speakers so you can play sexy music while you unzip them?

[identity profile] melayneseahawk.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Alas, no. But that would be hilarious.

[identity profile] ficwize.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
That restaurant is pretty tasty. They brew their own beer, too. :)

I'm working that night - but if I shake free early, I may swing by. Please do not worry about reserving for me. And I'm still planning to just catch you later anyway... but you never know. *shifty eyes*

I'm glad to hear it's good. I'm afraid none of us were very familiar with the area.

AND OH NOES. NOT SURPRISE YOU. *hides*

[identity profile] green-grrl.livejournal.com 2009-09-01 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't think I'll make it to dinner. My plane is landing at 7:09, so I'll be lucky if I have my luggage by 7:30.

But I'll see you at the Con!!!

Hiii! Sent over here via Em, I know we don't know each other so I figured I would say hi seeing as we will be meeting soon!

Thanks for organizing this. It's my first year at D*con and I am very excited! &hearts

Been meaning to point you to this. I have a Tip Sheet for Newbies. I haven't updated it so some information may be outdated, but at least you'll have a few tips for things you should probably bring/expect.

You should also plan for [livejournal.com profile] honkie_mcgee and Deb. (He doesn't check lj often so he might miss this post, but I know he's planing to come.)

Added! So far, including the maybes, we have 22 people to reserve tables for. That will make the restaurant thrilled. :p

[identity profile] momebie.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Meh. The online reservation thing will actually not let me reserve the table for that many. It goes up to twenty, but when I click on it says that no tables are available within two hours of that request. I'll call them this afternoon and see if there's something we can work out.
theemdash: (Daniel Happy)

[personal profile] theemdash 2009-09-02 12:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Or maybe we should tell someone else to make a second reservation and we'll just split up.

[identity profile] momebie.livejournal.com 2009-09-02 12:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Two reservations of ten was going to be my suggestion, but the online thing won't let me do that either. I'll call around opening for them and see if there's a way we can split everyone up and get them in. Honestly, the [livejournal.com profile] scifigirl group has a possibility of seven people, so splitting wouldn't be that hard.
