Hey, it happens. We're all exhausted at the end of SDCC! For me, that's why I enjoy sitting down and having a proper hot meal!

Hello!  This is our first and probably last year coming to SDCC.  It's a big deal for DD20 to come but she's happy with the nearby NYCC and just wanted to experience SDCC.  Do you prefer we hold off on rsvping to this dinner to keep the space for your regular members?  I don't want to take someone's spot for sure.  I have appreciated all the help.

OH, is there a restaurant that would be great for our first night that has a comic con vibe?  I've been compiling a restaurant list from other threads.  We're staying at Indigo.

NYCC is close for me, but it's a TOTALLY different vibe than SDCC, so I won't be surprised if it's not your last time.   I've been going since 2015.  ;)

Having said that, I would say depending on when you're getting in, as the Indigo is in the Gas Lamp, any restaurant there during the Con dates has the comic con vibe.  The Gas Lamp goes all out during the convention. 

I leave it to somebody else to recommend If you're coming in earlier than the Con (mon thru wed).  I do get in earlier, but I usually spend that time recuperating from jet lag and getting ready for the joyful madness.   :smilie_party_swinging:

We'll be arriving Wednesday late afternoon.  Want to have a reservation in place so there's no stress going to dinner and resting up from our Disneyland trip.

I was living in New England

This is not a problem at all! We would love to see you! There is no issue with capacity this year, as we are in a bigger location.
