FOCC dinner and SWAG trade - Sunday, July 21, 2019, 6 pm
Once again, we will be hosting the FoCC Sunday night dinner and SWAG trade at the Harbor House restaurant in Seaport Village. We have been at this location for many years, and Harbor House has been very good to us. It's a great place to sit down and relax with a hot meal after the madness of con!
Note that you must be a member of the FoCC site to attend! Members may bring family and friends with them, but they must be accounted for on the RSVP Google doc.
There is no cost to attend, but you should plan to order something from the restaurant menu (or at least a few alcoholic drinks, if no food). The restaurant is family friendly, so children, significant others, etc. are welcome.
The Harbor House is a restaurant in Seaport Village, which is behind the Manchester Grand Hyatt on the waterfront. The restaurant's website is here.
www.harborhousesd.com
Harbor House is officially a seafood restaurant, but they have a large, varied menu that also includes steaks, chicken, burgers, sandwiches, entree salads and a few pastas. They have a nice children's menu as well, for the younger set. You can see the menus on the restaurant's website.
It is easy to reach the Harbor House from the Convention Center by walking behind the convention center (along the water's edge). From the Gaslamp, you can access the walkway behind the Convention Center by walking through the Marriott or Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotels, or by walking around the Convention Center via the Hall H lawn.
You can see the location marked here. (The big red A dot).

Each year we have over 100 people RSVP'ing to this event! For the past couple of years, I have had to turn people away. In an attempt to accommodate as many people as possible this year, group sizes are being limited to 4 people. This means that you can only RSVP for yourself and up to 3 other friends/family members. If there are multiple FoCC members in your group, please have them all register individually. Everyone must RSVP on the doc!
UPDATE: Signups are closed, as the RSVP list is full.
Only those who RSVP on the doc will be permitted to attend. This is because there are capacity limits at the restaurant. If you wish to attend, please sign up on the Google Doc!
Note that signups may cease with little to no notice, depending on how many people RSVP for the dinner. If you want to attend, sign up.
Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

No, it is not!
Warning to all, I will be asking everyone to confirm their attendance (and processing the waitlist) shortly after The 4th of July.

I will be attending if I make it off the waitlist.

It will be me plus two then. Thank you so much!

I will PM everyone after the 4th for confirmation; please wait until then! Based on those confirmations, I will know how many people can get in off the waitlist.

Can I sign up for the waitlist for 3 total?

Yes, you can!

UPDATE: Everyone who signed up before the cutoff should have received a PM from me, asking them to confirm their status and number of people. Please respond and confirm, as I will be using this information to add people from the waitlist. Waitlist people should expect to hear from me by the end of the week.

I'm very sorry to hear that, Ernie. I hope that you're not out for the entire con! *hugs*

I am sorry to hear that, Darqamin.

Apologies, my party of 3/4 now all want to go to the cheesecake factory, so we will be withdrawing. If the person who wanted Vegemite turns up, please let me know so I can drop it off! I've sent them a PM but they have not responded!
-
Hey [member=314]Transmute Jun[/member] 3 of my party had a change, so it'll just be me (1, not 4). Apologies for the late notice.
-
Thanks for letting me know!
-
I've been coming for years but the kiddo is just not up to it. Please cancel my spots. I'm so sorry.
-
I’m super sorry I won’t be able to make it tonight. Being in the Hall H last night kicked my butt and I’m big time under the weather. I was really looking forward to hanging out with everyone

I won’t be able to make it because my flight was cancelled and now I’m stuck in the airport for the night.
Enjoy

Thank you Transmute for putting this together. This was our first time to go. Although we were a little shy, we enjoyed ourselves and look forward to attending next year.

Thanks to [member=314]Transmute Jun[/member] and anyone else who helped organize! Always great to meet some new people and see all of those tired, friendly faces :)

I just wanted everyone to know that I have locked in the Harbor House for next year, so we are a go for 2020!

Like CCI, my only concern with this is that it would then be difficult for new people to ever attend! But I promise that I will always do my best to have as many people as possible attend!

Hey swags were few and far in between.. was there any cool ones that were traded this year?
