Heh. We're in 316. Will also have room for a person or two most likely.

edit: oh hey. this is why we don't post before caffeine. we're in ==416==. wheeee. good morning

The problem is we have an attendee that's gluten intolerant. breadwinner's would be the Little Shop of Death.

We're thinking maybe Humperdinks.

[caynreth]

Never been to Humperdinks. But I'm cool with that.

I honestly couldn't tell you who all was there tonight. I was sitting across Priscilla and Seiya, next to Jim, next to Vijay...and I everyone else I'm drawing a blank. I think Caynreth came up and said something to me at one point. Pharaoh and One Mutt were there. Mickey was there...then everyone else...no idea.

(I've been running a low grade fever. I had the weirdest dream last night and I usually do when I'm running a fever.)

I hope I didn't put Jim off. Priscilla knows him and I guess I was joining her in talking with him.

Lucid or no, it was awesome. I hope someone posts some pictures soon.


That was all I ran into. There are some I don't remember the names or wouldn't know how to spell.

[Priscellie]

I don't think anyone could have told you who all was there tonight!  I had a guest list of 26 people, but more kept showing up over the course of the meal!  They had to add additional tables twice, I believe.  It was a truly epic dinner, and the waitstaff handled the affair with great finesse.  I had a blast!

1.I had a wonderful time tonight. Never thought I would meet people I know from the interwebs in person!
2.I wAs going to wait until I hot home to post nut the sheer novelty of posting from my brothers itouch, I couldn't resist.

Great dinner. My boys and I had a good time and I don't think I'll need to eat for a week now. The portion sizes at that place were monstrous. Very cool meeting so many folks.

[Vijay]

It was great to meet other fans.  Jim has been nothing but gracious, approachable and accommodating.  His panels have been really interesting.

I'm not going to go today. Shame since I bought a weekend pass (though I did get a badge. I like collecting badges from the different cons I go to). I'm just a little worse than I was yesterday. I think the fever is pretty much gone, but I'm drowning in phlegm here. (I know. You didn't need to know that.)

[caynreth]

You seemed a bit vague and faded yesterday. Sorry you're feeling crappy. I'm not doing so good physically myself. I was in bed all day Thursday with my friend Percoset.

[Spectacular Sameth]

I should've taken my bottle of Tylenol. David gave me some about mid day, but by the time I got to our dinner last night, I think it wore off.

Despite being sick, I was very glad I went and very glad I stayed all day. I wouldn't trade last night's dinner for getting to come back today. I'm still geeking out about the fact that I ate right next to Jim. (I hope he doesn't think I'm weird and I hope he doesn't get sick because of me.) Didn't get much of a chance to talk to his wife, but she was really nice.

[Shecky]

Jim and Shannon rock, pure and simple. They're the kind of people you'd like to have for neighbors (outside of their bestseller-writing ability).

[The Dread Pharaoh Roberts]

 
Jim and Shannon, two hours ago.  By now, they're at the airport having something to eat.

[Chianacat]

Awesome pic CH!  More to come?

[Shecky]

I still can't get over Jim's having shorter hair and no facial hair.
