EDIT 2:

Dinner reservations have been made:

Restaurant phone number: (714) 740-2822
Date: October 23, 2010
Time: 8:00 PM

The reservation is under my name. I should be there 15 minutes or so beforehand. My cell phone number is known to most, but if you need it, PM me please.

See you there!

EDIT: If I don't hear from you by October 15, 2010, I'm going to have to mark you as "not going". This is nothing personal, but I want to make reservations that night, so we definitely have a place to eat at.

Hello, folks.

So, we have a couple of weeks until Blizzcon hits, on October 22 and 23.

Many of us will be here for that, and many of us have expressed interest in doing dinner together.

And so, I am asking again: Who is interested in going? At this point, I need a fairly firm yes or no. I'd like to make the reservations next week sometime so that we won't have to scramble like we did last year. In addition, if you are joining us for dinner, please say if you have any allergies or aversions to any particular kinds of cuisine. For example, we will not being going to "World of Berries and Nothing But" due to one of us having an allergy to berries. And no general things like "I don't like bad food." This means you, Brad. :P

If every last one of us has no preferences, then the default restaurant is going to be a Chinese restaurant of some kind, since they generally have something for almost everyone.

Here's what is pretty much solid:

Date: October 23, 2010 (Saturday)
Time: 8:00 P.M. (I know this is during closing ceremonies, and if enough people are against this, it will change. But for now, it's 8:00.)
Place: TBD

Attending: (8, maybe 10)

Andy S.

I'm interested in going. Would prefer something meat & potatoy, but that's just me. CJ / Fogo / Outback and whatnot all sound good, but if people have other preferences, I can probably make do with whatever.

I'm interested, and have no real objections to anything. Sadly I have no suggestions, either. It's two sides of the same apathetic coin.

I am available, and if it happens I will make an effort to attend.

I am at 50% in regards to a Saturday dinner.

I am expecting an out-of-town guest during that time. She may or may not feel up to meeting a bunch of strangers. She knows I am going to be fairly busy during Friday and Saturday though, so she may make her own plans. I just don't know yet.

Can I still come last minute if it turns out I can?

Once things are finalized, I will know whether or not I can attend. Sorry gang, but my eldest is turning 6 that day, and she always takes precedence.

See you there!

Count me in for dinner. I think Rhonda and James said they wanted to go today as well!

Nice to see you all again in person.

Great to meet everyone that was there. Rhonda and I had a great time.
