Baltimore Comicon - Forum Dinner

[ft88]

I'll throw this out there - no offense if its not used. The food and wine list is choice. $36 for a 3 course meal, $51 with wine - probably about $65 after tax and tip.

 

Abacrombie Fine Food and Accommodations

(410) 244-7227 (open evenings only)

58 W Biddle St, Baltimore, MD 0.87 mi

Website says you can reserve a room for 40 guests which was about the number that came last year as I recall. Pretty cool rooms too if you can't find the typical places. Also, if you go there I'd recommend walking up to MICA, Maryland Institute College of Art. Considered the second finest art institute in the country behind RISD. I always like visiting college campuses and bars to get a flavor of a city.

..another possibility for a Forum dinner ( although I don't know if they have a private dining room )...M & S Grill. Great food, nice atmosphere, reasonably priced, and right in the middle of the inner harbor....about 4 blocks from the Con.

...if this is appealing to you guys, I'll call them and check out our options for a large party.

Steve, please do go ahead and check into the details. I'm checking into some others and then we can compare which works better.

Let's keep it as an option. My preference is to get something closer in walking distance to the Con itself.

i'm kicking you in the back for eight straight hours, fool

 

Eight hours?!?!?!! What are you, a woman?

 

One stop from Arex's to MD for gas and restroom. 6 hours.

 

Oh, and we're splitting driving duties.

[joeypost]

How is the actual con? From past experience how would you rate it compared to the others?

[chrisco37]

It's a good show. Very comic-centric, unlike the Wizard shows. Great guests always. I'd liken it to Heroes with a better guest list.

[arexcrooke]

Joey,

In my limited large con experience i would rate it above Heroes and below Chicago. It is a good show and with me being able to take more money with me this year, it should be even better than last.

Arex

[nik]

It was pretty good for me last year.

 

Put it this way, any con without greggy, no rain gear needed

[chrisco37]

Chauffeur service to-and-from the convention could get pricey.

I've made it from Winston-Salem to Arlington, VA in 4 hours, 28 minutes. Drive faster.

Damn! That is quick, but closer than Charlotte. It's 400+ miles from Charlotte to Gaithersburg.
