Emerald City Comic Con 2012

[JazzMan]

OK, so it's time for me to chime in now. As the coordinator for the CGC forum dinner for the past three years now, the best place so far for accommodating a large group in a private room has been The Daily Grill.

 

If you'd like I can explore the other restaurants in the area. We have generally been a big bunch - ultimately in excess of 25 at the end. It's difficult to find a place that would be quiet and semi-private.

 

Also, we generally have the dinner on Saturday night after the con closes since it's when most people are in town.

 

Finally, I had discussed this being a CBCA sponsored dinner over on the other board. I will check with Steve Z. and the gang to see if there's any perk that can be had for being a CBCA member at this dinner.

 

Please feel free to chime in and if there's anyone that wants to take ownership of this year's dinner, please feel completely empowered to run with it.

 

BTW - I also think the Cheesecake Factory is a bad idea. It was crowded, noisy and it took forever for them to seat us. To top it off they don't take reservations.

Everyone can get over their angst by watching the louder and ANGRIER Jay and Silent Bob live in person on the Sunday $40:

Shoot me a PM if a facilitator doesn't step up to the plate. I'll have some free time (thumbs u

Or if you mind sharing who you want to get stuff from, I have no problems getting them if they're the same people I'm hitting up.

Not in Seattle, but I would be happy to look at whatever books you are thinking of having work done on.

I will be making a side trip to the EMP Science-fiction, music museum across from the Space Needle (thumbs u to see Avatar exhibit: Na'avi and full-size military platform suit:

The EMP is always great to experience while in Seattle. Have fun!

I think I will be driving up and stay for the day on Friday (got the day off work!) There will be far less people there (I'm hoping) so maybe I can squeeze in some sketches.

[Lethal_Collector]

Yea, the past 5 (or is it 6 years now?) that I've gone it's always been just a saturday thing. It's crazy loud, crowded and I never get time to ask artists good questions cause of the long lines.

 

Have fun!

It's quieter, but check the artist alley to see if the people you're looking for will be there on Friday.

[BeerThirty]

Is anyone facilitating this show?

[JazzMan]

what do you mean?

[BeerThirty]

I apologize for my lack of clarity. Will there be someone that I can ship books to for SS?
