Eat well y'all. I'll need to get my seafood fix later on in the weekend (dang 9pm landing time).

COunt me in! I haven't bought the plane ticket but that's the only thing left in preparations!
Tim do you actually have 70 people confirmed? There's two of us flying in arriving just after 1pm and hopefully at the hotel an hour or two after that. We could be available to go along if there's room and a very nice transport person.

I'd actually have to go back through this thread and count them all up again, but confirmed is close to 67 people, and maybes are around 8 people or so.
So, I assume that most of the confirmed folks will attend...some may back out/not show, and then several of the "maybe" folks will do the same. All in all, I figured I should just stop counting, and settle on seating 70, give or take a few.
Any extras that show up will probably get a table in the restaurant, just not in the banquet area with PaizoCon folks. That does NOT prevent you from visiting, nor does it prevent all the overflow Paizoians from all sitting together.
Honestly, I think 70 is about the limit on this. It may make sense to make this a lottery event too....the only one on Thursday!

Alright, I'm definitely going to be in town for the Meet and Eat, but I'm going to have to bum a ride off of someone.
The Crab Pot is fairly close by...but I figure that of 70+ people, someone should be able to give you a ride up there! ;-)
And, you know, the highlight of this dinner is not the food (although it is a unique Seattle experience), but the company. Each year, I have gotten to meet folks from the messageboards that I "know", but haven't met in person.
And THAT is what this, and PaizoCon, is all about.
Can't wait to meet you Mr. Shiny!
Yeah, finding a ride should not be a problem. :)
Meeting people I "know" via the Internet and getting to meet them face to face is totally the highlight of conventions for me. :D
(One month to PaizoCon! GLEE!)

Crab Pot is definitely in walking distance of the hotel if you're staying there. Last year we were able to walk over there comfortably. I think it even took us only 20 minutes or so to walk to over, and we got lost...
If it's walkable, then it's on!
All we need now is a marching order...

Fighters in the front, clerics in the middle, casters *cough* artillery *cough* in the back, with a barbarian bodyguard.

And the rangers and rogues scouting up front for the safest crosswalks. ;-)

Looking forward to meet Mr Shiny!!! I'll bring my sunglasses :P

Yes, by all means! Have the rogue check for traffic!
Just to note me now oficially... I'm in :D

I just had a meeting with the management about our Meet and Eat event... and they are ready for us!
We will have the whole area that we did last year...and it will be all ours (no waiting for the table with 4 guys eating to clear out!).
They would also like to take some pictures of us for their banquet services web page...so Paizoians will represent! ;-)
People can come earlier for their happy hour (5-6) too, but remember that their lounge area is pretty small. Also, buying drinks in the bar area and buying drinks at your table will be dealt with separately; no moving your bar tab over to your table. Drinks at the bar should be paid for AT THE BAR. This is to help them keep all 70 of us straight.
This is set up as separate checks, so the 20% gratuity is automatically added on. Which is fair, given the amount of people they are getting hit with!
One thing we should try and do is have people who are interested in a SeaFeast dinner sit together. They make these big pots of seafood, and if a group of diners makes an order for one of these, it is MUCH better, in terms of ease and getting your order faster, if that group sits together and places the order together. So, people should look over the menu, and seat themselves together at the tables for those Sea Feasts. It will really help out the staff and kitchen.
*ponders tricking Hugo into driving so he can order lots of whiskeyz*
What's the crawling distance from the Crab Pot to your place? :D
Darn...I guess I'll do some driving :D

Thanks, Tim. But look at that piteous fish at the top of page two, roasting on the grill. See in his eyes how much he's hurt by the way you turned on him, the way you betrayed the friendship between you. Yet, he'll buck up, trying not to shed a tear. That a real friend there, sacrificing his all for you, with no reproach, no blame, only the hint of sadness in the corner of his fishy mouth, flickering in his fishy eyes. He's holding back a tear. Not that he would cry for himself, mind you. But for the two of you, for what ... might have been.

I accept his sacrifice, and will honor it by not even remotely thinking about it as I consume his succulent fish flesh.
Honestly, I got in trouble the first time I went to the Crab Pot with my wife (then new girlfriend) and an old buddy of mine I hadn't seen in ages. Those shrimps still had their heads on, and I embarrassed her when I put several shrimp heads on my fingers and murmured, "red rum, red rum". In my defense, my friend nearly choked on his food from laughing too hard. And, well, she didn't break up with me, so....

Unlike last year when Neil and I had to go adventuring to find some (and then came back to discover someone else had brought some) ... I actually already have sticky name tags! Hopefully I'll have enough, depending on how many folks show, but PaizoCon this week - woohoo!

Yaay for being prepared! :-)
And woo-hoo! PaizoCon!
This is super last minute, but we (my gaming group) have changed our plans and will be in Seattle the wednesday before the Con.... We'd like to come.... can 5 more attend to say hi and get some chow?
Mark me as a definite tentative!
~D

Hey everyone,
Sorry about the lack of response.
From my rought estimations, it looks like 10 extras here recently. That puts us somewhere between 70 and 80 folks.
Everyone is welcome to attend; however, we have a large seating area, and when that's full, then we are maxed. Overflow will likely get seated elsewhere in the restaurant. Now, it may be directly across from us....but that's just a "heads-up".
Tim
