TSB Dinner - 2016 ISS Long Beach

[Frog]

We have finally outgrown our usual arrangement in the main dining room of King's Fish House, so this time around, I am taking the suggestion of the management (as well as Rich Hoffman years ago) and booking the private dining room.
This has plusses and minuses.
If we grow to our usual size of more than 25, they really lean on us to go with a limited banquet menu to aid service. It also requires an accurate head count a few days ahead.
So, preliminary information is Saturday, January 23, 2016 (not the usual Friday) 7:00 PM.

I will keep you posted as to when we will start seriously signing up.

Hey Frog and Everyone,

Still some time away but this month is going to fly by with the holiday rush. Not sure if I missed another post but I just got my tickets and cannot wait. After missing last year I am really looking forward to this one!

we are looking for a different place this year. The dinner has also been moved to Sat night.

Any of the regular show attendees have any suggestions on where to go?

I'll probably be having dinner with my crew that night, but are there going to be any other meet ups?

I'd love to meet some of the jerks from this site    Put some screen names to faces.  I'm more of a lurker, but I've learned a lot from here, and appreciate the resource.

Last year's meet-up was 12:15 pm Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It was scheduled to not interfere with some seminars and conferences.

I'd say tentatively figure that time or something pretty close, and though an exact location has not been picked, you can almost count on it being near the M&R booth, 1407,  huge, and conveniently located near the front and center of the action. We will have to figure out where there is some room for us to gather and not block other activity.

I really thought I would finally make it this year. Y'all have fun.

Just a few weeks away now.. oh boy!

[Doug S]

Just got our tickets yesterday.  I'm looking forward to it.  Hope to meet some of you there.

[blue moon]

it's getting close and we need some sort of list of who is coming to dinner. Can everybody participating please PM Frog or myself and let us know you'll be joining us?

Also, 12:15 is not going to work for me as a meeting time. I am not there on Friday and am teaching the class on Sunday. Any other suggestions for time and place?
