Capclave.

[rivka]

This coming weekend, curiousangel, thelilalex, and I will be at Capclave in Silver Spring, MD.

Looks like I'll be seeing several of you there. Anyone want to make advance arrangements to get together for a meal? Anyone who's done it before have advice about babies and SF cons?

How about dinner, Saturday, around 4:30/5 pm?

I'm interested in trying Mandalay at its new location (http://www.mandalayrc.com/); I liked their place near U of MD. However, that's several blocks, and there are decent, closer, places.

Also FYI, I'm pretty likely to try to make these events:

Are there any utopias in SF/F Today? Sat. noon

Blogging 1 pm
Author GOH speech 2
Editor GOH speech 3

Team Bonzai (Banzai?) 7
Energy of the Future 8
Mad Scientists 9

Not sure I'll make any Friday or Sunday events.

I ate at Mandalay a few weeks ago, and liked it very much. They were grumpy about seating us before our entire party arrived, though, and it's possible that was because they tend to fill up. (My group went around five on Saturday, I think, and they were mostly empty, so if we do go then we should be fine. If we decide to go later, though, it might be a problem.)

I'd love to go to Mandalay - isn't that the Burmese place? I think Jon Singer has been telling me about it for years. And 5pm would be an excellent time for dinner, actually, to let us get back before Alex's bedtime. (The other alternative is letting her go to sleep in the sling, but that probably requires being very close to the hotel - like next door.)

I'm glad you'll be there! I hope you'll bring your Quiddler deck, because I am absolutely determined that we'll get a chance to play together sometime.

Yes, that's the place. My one warning is that if a waiter warns you a dessert is hot and might burn your mouth, believe him, and eat it in VERY small yummy bites.

How about I touch base with you right after the blogging panel, to pick a gathering place before we walk over?

My Quiddler deck's in my game bag in my car. I've put a note in my Palm Pilot to bring it into the hotel with me ... now, to check it for notes on Saturday morning!
