A Dinner Expedition
4th Street Fantasy Convention
June 21, 2008CE
Every now and again I feel adventuresome and gregarious, especially at conventions where I don't know everyone. At the dinner break on Saturday at 4th Street, I was without dinner plans. Outside the programming area, I talked with one person that I didn't know, then another, and then another person I met yesterday came by and.... Summoning Con Courage, I asked if they wanted to go to dinner. They did! A dash of last minute wrangling, and grabbing apostle_of_eris as he came by, and we were off to the restaurant in the hotel. Not a great restaurant, but a decent one, and they accommodated eight people easily and quickly.

Only one person (to my right) is not on LJ, and we may have convinced her! I'll ask them to introduce themselves.

A great conversation (sometimes more than one) and a memorable dinner. More Saturday pics in the morning...

Edited deosil clockwise from lower left:
suzimoses, apostle_of_eris, karenthology, jenett, Kelly Burnhill (not on LJ), barondave, aedifica, brooksmoses

If we're to introduce ourselves (is that because Karen, not you, was the one writing down all our LJ handles?) then hello, I'm Liza, the second person from the right.

Hi! Now you get to explain your LJ name again...

[jenett]

I am the last one on the left side, in the purple shirt. Hi!

Hi! Again, kudos on the pocket program. Simple and informative, not unlike 4th Street.

I'm Karen, in the green! And as soon as I get over 'con crash' I'll fill in the blanks -- !

Uncrash!

You were the last one I wasn't sure of, so I filled in. If these aren't right, let me know!

Just did. Last night's sleep was very much needed! Yup, you have them right.

I like that term -- 'Con Courage.'
