Title: Rice Party
Post by: Moonblossom on March 06, 2010, 07:00:17 AM
I'd love to be able to bring a rice cooker or crock pot or the like, that is a really good idea. Unfortunately since I'm flying in, I can't afford to put something in my suitcase that uses up that much space and weight :(

Did someone say rice party? I have a pretty decently sized rice cooker if someone wants to use it. ;)
thats one way to make new friends  :D another thing to stick into my backpack of stuff. as if there's enough clutter on it.

this actually sounds like a good idea :D

anyone else interested in a rice + chinese food party? I know several places where I can get awesome chinese food til 3am. and we could either take it back to a room or gather out in the concourse and make all the other starving people be jealous. [again not technically sharing it with general public] but more of a group of friends having awesome food.

... rice party? ...we're such a strange group...  :P

Two notes:
1. Check with the hotel before bringing rice cookers/hot plates/crock pots/whatever. They're not always allowed, and could get you evicted from the room!
2. Outside food and drink may not be allowed in the convention center... don't be surprised if a member of the SJCC asks you to take your food outside.
Title: Re: Rice Party
Post by: Nephilim on May 23, 2010, 12:57:13 PM
So as long as we pull back into someone's hotel room (which allows rice cookers) we should be fine?
Schedule's out, time to decide a meeting place/time~!

I think we need a hotel room for this, cause of the rice cookers. :s
I want my late night night chinese food! ;o;
Title: Re: Rice Party
Post by: Avairrianna on May 28, 2010, 04:38:04 PM
I'd like to apologize to everyone about this. It was only meant to be like 4 people and our guests attending but then got really out of hand very quickly. There were problems with hotel crowd, rice cookers being allowed and then if a fee should be charged so the few people bringing things would not get used by many people wanting free rice. Maybe nest year with more planning something like this can happen ^^

I'm still game for some late night Chinese, doesn't have to be today. :s
