SE: Thanksgiving Group Dinner?
« on: October 12, 2021, 09:58:21 AM »
Hey all,
if folks are coming in to town early, would you be interested in meeting for food on Thursday at one of the following restaurants?

There's a great selection but we should book early so we can sit together.

If you're interested comment here and indicate how many guests you'll bring. If there is enough interest we'll get a sheet together.

Wear your stretchy pants and enjoy a 3 course Thanksgiving dinner for $25, $20 bottle of wine, and $5 smashing pumpkin shots. Then later at 9PM get your holiday boogie on with DJ Yodah.
I may have to Uber in tho LOL

I'm not sure. While I will be there on Thursday, our schedule is very much on hold until we learn whether or not CCI will allow badge pickup on Thursday late afternoon/evening. We are really hoping that they do, so that we can get our badges before Friday. If badge pickup on Thursday is announced, that is our first priority.

I think that's everyone's priority ;)
I believe the places in that article are mostly in the GasLamp.

You may want to check the links because that info is old. One is from 2017. Some links least to error or a random page.

Agreed, if folks want to do supper on Thanksgiving, we'll have to verify their doing thanksgiving for '21. I'm assuming most folks who live in the area will be doing supper with their family's ;)

I started this thread for folks who are in town and don't have supper plans.

Hello!

I just found this forum via the SDCC thread on Reddit. I'll be headed down to the Special Edition SDCC in a couple of weeks, traveling solo as my friends don't want to attend this year over Thanksgiving weekend. I'd love to meet up with y'all if you're still planning on a Thursday night gathering?

A Thanksgiving get together sounds like a fun idea, but it looks like I'll be doing Thanksgiving dinner with my father and his family on Thursday and coming down to San Diego sometime on Friday.
Based on the CCSE schedule so far, I don't think I'll miss much if I come into town Friday afternoon.

Hopefully there will be other opportunities to meet up.

I've got reservations for 4 people at 5pm. So far it's me & You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
when i spoke with them there didn't seem to be an issues with reserving a place for 6 people, it would have incurred a deposit. I declined as the implication is that we can get more space if needed. I also think the time can be adjusted if people want to do it later. They open at 4pm for dinner
