| Last year we organized a fun meet up after day 2 at Monarch's. I thought it went well. anyone up to it again this year. doesnt have to be monarch's. plenty of places in the charlotte area -a new new york style pizza restaraunt that sells pizza by the slice. that opened recently next to monarchs -there is a more expensive pizza place thats less casual in the park by convention center -last year someone brought up a cajin place -monarch again its 2 1/2 months away. we can start discussing details. |

| we are a month and half away. I think if we are gonna do another meet up. we should start discussing. Options in the area hasn't changed much since last year. Everyone liked Monarch but maybe this year go somewhere else. there is a new York style pizza place that sells buy the slice (no whole pies) that opened since last year right next to Monarch (where we eat last year). you go up to counter and order |

| I wish I could go to nycc. but the cost of tickets, then cost to get there, hotel, etc would break the bank before I spend a single dime at the show. at least heroes con I live in the city, so hotel and getting there isn't a problem. actually my grandma knows one of the founders of NYCC. he wrote a book. Have a copy signed by him |

| I know the feeling. just started figuring out who to see and what to bring. wont be as much as past years. going to bring my Uncanny X-men #185 (issue storm lost her powers) to get signed by Romita Jr. (last year had Claremont sign. when it comes to big names who charge good money. pay for one, and bring back next year for other if they are regulars this year bringing $100 more than usual to buy an already graded since cbcs wont be there, I refuse to pay cgc to grade. Id rather buy a graded (even by them), hoping to find something in my wishlist (grade doesn't have to matter. if I can find a comic Ive been wanting from 70s that's a 4.0 within budget will get) Dan Jurgens- is back this year. now I know 1st comic is free, 2nd he charges so bringing one thing to get signed |

| we are 19 days away. lets try and figure out a good meetup place. the new pizza place (next to where we ate last year) is good and reasonable priced ($5 a slice) but no pies. dont have large tables. its small tables around the place Monarch was popular last year but we got lucky with finding a large table Alexander Michaels is a really good pub/restaraunt and will have tables that can fit but is about luck and its further away there is a pizza place and an indian (i think) restaraunt in the park accross the way from the convention center. Im sure tables wont be a problem but dont know about prices sborock mentioned a cajin place last year that you'd need to drive to there is a frnech restaraunt nearby, got good tables. I can reserve a day in advance. closeby but expensive |

| its looking like a small group this year so where we eat shouldn't matter. the pizza place next to where we ate last year sells buy the slice, has every topping you can think of, has deep dish and sicilian. lets just meet up that sat. judge how many are going then decide. if its a small group then options are easier, large group like last year than will be more specific |
