FoCC WonderCon Meetup Dinner
« on: March 06, 2018, 06:02:51 AM »
We'd like to have a FoCC meetup during WonderCon. A number of people recommended the evening buffet at the Marriott Anaheim (right next to the convention center) and apparently this was a big hit last year. We'd schedule the dinner for 6 or 7 pm.

I know schedules for the con are not yet available, but it would be great if people would indicate which nights they think they might be available, so we can estimate a rough headcount.

Gossamer, vote in the poll for Saturday! No one has voted Saturday yet!

Also, we had a large group last year and the buffet is very nice, not a typical buffet. Healthy, gourmet eats! And you can order cocktails!

I'm hoping for Saturday since I won't be available for a meetup on Friday. (Yes I already voted for Saturday)

I voted for either one, since I should be available both evenings :)

I can attest to this, haha. The food was amazing, and there were so many choices! Definitely worth the price.

I'm in for one or both nights but depends on the Wondercon schedule.

I'm down for either night! I've never been to any of these meetupsand I'm usually too tired to attend the ones during SDCC so I'm stoked to meet fellow forum members IRL :)

I'd also like to attend with my son. Day/time preference will depend on the WonderCon schedule...
Will be more committal after the program is released.

Even if people are waiting for the schedule (I know I am!) it would still be helpful if you could make a guess. You can always change your vote once the schedule is released. I'd like to have approximate. numbers so I can call up the Marriott and reserve space.

Of course, schedule info should be released shortly, so there isn't that much time left. ;)
