Plan: 21+ Meet & Greet

[YaoiCat]

I wish the at-con bars would offer some kind of discount for people attending the con.  Like ... free drinks all night every night!  LoL.  Anyone doing a really sexy cosplay?  Maybe someone can charm the bartender into giving us cheap drinks.  hehe j/k  ;)

Bartenders tend to be used to being targeted for free drinks- it wont work.
Bdays are really the only free drink days.

but youre welcome to try ;)

I was just kidding of course, I'm definitely not charming enough to get a free drink out of anyone, hehe.  My birthday is May 23rd, too bad I won't get to fanime until the 24th :/

I'm sure one day wont make a difference- especially if you explain your situation. Also, I dont mind buying you a drink :) just nothing  $20 drink :P... I AM on a budget afterall... XD

Looks like my plans for the 30th changed..if its not one thing its another..and I forgot the 17th is St Piddys day... so my plans on the 16 are out..

Hopefully by April I'll get this sorted out.

@yaoicat, that would be cool if there was such a thing. Oh well's.

That's really nice, thanks ^_^

@echoshadow, I think there's a festival in San Jose's Japan Town sometime in April, that could be a good time to perhaps get a few people together and scout for a good bar, lol

[Lucifargundam]

I was thinking that everyone start off with drinks from a bar and then go get pizza/beer after- that way we get the best of both worlds!

[Bushido]

Hmm this sounds like fun. I would consider checking this out. Is this before Fanime or during?

[AngrySean]

Sounds like a fun idea. I'd probably be down depending on what else is going on at the time.

During Fanime, I plan to scout some locations before the con starts just so we don't go in blind to a place no one heard or been in.

@ yaoicat well if anyone is intersted post the dates. I'm not local so I'am don't know what events happen in San Jose.

Depending on which night we do this, I'll also have some friends coming with me.  If it's Friday or Saturday night I'll have 3 friends coming, if it's Sunday just 1 friend :)

[princesskitty18]

sup y'all

@aurora: hi again. havent seen ur name in awhile. i'll have my boyfriend with me, so add 'plus1' to my list

@echo: i can ask a couple of my friends who go to SJSU whats good around there..well relatively good and cheap. they're college students..they should know something LOL

did we ever fully settle a time for this particular meet&greet? and what about the other one? hmm..i shall go browse the forum page

but yea. this all sounds good. we definitely can't set a time or place yet without the schedule out (which hopefully is out sooner rather than later) but brainstorming is always a good idea :D

[echoshadow]

@princesskitty, yes please ask them. I was like waiting for you to replay with some of your friends recomendations.

By the way things are looking the 21+ m&g could be on Saturday night. That is if everyone would like that day and time.

Ah dont make me rember about the schedule..Fanime sure is dropping the ball. Almost a month and a half to go an zero updates on guest or programing. I recommend everyone post it fb or twitter. Seems like the forums is ignored by the higher ups.

So is Saturday night good for everyone?

=================================================

Thursday and Friday is up in the air.
@echoshadow:: could you update the first post?

[echoshadow]

I like the idea of 2 days of drinking but....I'm pretty sure most of us would like to, and/or could only afford one night of drinking at a bar.

Like Princesskitty said, the time is kind of not set till the schedule comes out..(if ever) so going by last years most of the major events/panles ended by 10:00 pm or so. 6:00 pm is kind of too early to drink also I'll be pretty much be at some event/panel by then. Sunday at 10:00 I'll be out dancing or at finishing up the Masquerade, so its a no go for me.

I'll update the first post with the possible bar list and attendees.

[YaoiCat]

For what it's worth, I'd prefer Friday or Saturday night as opposed to Sunday, since 2 of my friends are leaving Sunday evening and wouldn't be able to come :)

I wonder if we should just pick a different place for each night of the con and make it kind of like ... choose which one(s) you want to go to type of thing?
