Mid-afternoon would be best for me, 2ish or so. Lunch crowd will be gone and the dinner rush won’t have started yet. ---

Just keeping the thread alive since we’re down to 13 days until the fest. ---

I have made a reservation at: \*\* [Yard House Pasadena](http://maps.google.com/maps/place?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=Pasadena+Yard+House&fb=1&gl=us&hq=Yard+House&hnear=Pasadena,+CA) for 5pm on Sat, Oct 23 under the name Cecil Adams\*\* 5pm is hopefully late enough for some people to have an early dinner or a refreshing beverage but early enough not to have a huge dinner crowd at the restaurant. The reservation is for 20 people, which gives us about 5 extra seats over the initial Doodle poll. Note: they said they can only give out a single check for the table, so you might want to bring cash / small bills, especially if you think you might only stay for a short while. The Yard House is on the upper floor of a semi-outdoor mall thingy called the Paseo Colorado. Ample parking exists below the Paseo, accessible from Green Street and Colorado Blvd. The Metro Gold Line’s Memorial Park Station is about four blocks NW of the restaurant. ---

Hey folks, is this still on? Looks like there’s an 80% chance of me being down next weekend. ---

Unless work keeps me here this weekend, I’m unlikely to attend. I’d put that at about a 25% probability at this point. Have fun. ---
