Title: SDCC 2019 Sunday Dinner & SWAG Trade Meetup
Post by: Transmute Jun on February 03, 2019, 04:19:37 PM
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!

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.

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!
