I'll toss out Crazee Burger again, but it's not exactly within walking distance.
The closest one is 4 miles away, in Old Town, which means taking the Trolley. The other one is in North Park 5 miles away, only a small ways over the hill from Tycho's place but no easy trolley to get there, may as well just meet in front of Tycho's palce. :p I'm not saying no to the one in Old Town, but leaving the Gas Lamp district and Downtown seems a bit much considering most of us probably have more stuff to do at the con that evening.Quote:

I'd like to meet up with you all and maybe I'll be able to, but I don't want to commit, since I'm going with someone else and I've already committed her to being in lines for much of the first two days. She's got her to do list also. Have you considered the Tin Fish? I eat there just about everyday at the convention. Richard Walker's Pancake House is delicious, but cramped. If you have not tried it before, I highly recommend it.
Tin fish? Is that the one in front of the Omni hotel??
I'd like to meet up, but don't want to set anything in stone yet, as plans could change. Sat. afternoon will be good as I am carpooling and not driving that day
Oh, I see.Quote:

It will be crowded as snot in a grubby 7-year-old with a cold at Disneyland, wiping his nasty little nose on his arm and snurfing every 3 minutes. :p
Ok, well keep in touch.Quote:

It is the one in front of the Omni, yes. A couple years ago, NBC rented it out to do a press event unveiling the new Knight Rider there, and look how well that turned out for them. ;)Quote:

If the Tin Fish serves what their name implies, I wouldn't be able to eat there unless one of you is a paramedic. :) I'm not saying it's out, just that I can't eat fish.
I have a similar problem, I can't eat tin.Quote:

However, if all goes according to plan (unfortunately, not much has gone according to plan with regards to SDCC '11), I should be able to see most if not all of you inside the con. may the force be with me on that! ;)
The plan is Saturday Afternoon, around 1:15 or 2ish. Hopefully that'll work better for your schedule. It should, that seems to be panel-death time.Quote:
