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.

this one has my interest
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

Just me.

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'm still waiting to hear if there will be badge pickup on Thursday...

maybe @Transmute Jun (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=314) +3 I assume your fam is all coming? Or is it just a +1 ;)
I'm going to make a reservation for 6- and we can adjust +/- when plans get more finalized.
-
Sounds fun and thanks for planning this!
-
I've got reservations for 4 people at 5pm. So far it's me & @starlucy (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=9440)
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

We will be there but haven’t made a decision on what time. If we are there then, we will try to look for the Comic con group.

sounds good
I suspect this will be a very loose gathering with few people. I'v got room for 2 more at my table, if anyone wants to join us.

Just hours before Monday’s deadline, I reluctantly requested a refund for my badge. I’ll probably regret it, just that despite me getting a Moderna booster three weeks ago, I don’t know how effective it is against breakthroughs. I live with an 87-year-old mother and don’t want to give her anything. Plus it’s Thanksgiving weekend and my bro and sis in law are coming up to stay over with the dog.
Have a very good time with CCSE and the group dinner! Sorry I won’t be there.
-
What time are you planning to do the dinner? My 12 year old son and me are interested. Just seeing if it will fit our schedule. We will be driving out from Utah early that morning.

There will be 4 of us and it’s my birthday, so we will try to get a table. Thanks!

Unfortunately, due to family obligations, I will be eating dinner a little earlier. however, I may drop by for a bit while people are there to say hi.

I believe the restaurant also takes orders off their regular menu. iirc, it has a bunch of small plates with an eclectic variety. we **WILL** squeeze you in @Transmute Jun (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=314) ;)

@alyssa (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=1) Please put my son and me down for your table. Thank you!
