Wave 1 Meet 'n Greet

KaryCam

No, we didn't eat at the McDonald's. It was further back in the building from there.
Here is the info I found on the McCormick website:

Plate Room Food Court - Level 2.5, Grand Concourse, South Building
This bustling location offers an interesting array of items available to take on the run or to be enjoyed in the adjacent seating area. Six food concepts are available at this location, including Little Italy, Antipasto Bar, Pacific Rim, the American Grill, The Carvery and Fiesto Bravo. The Plate Room is open daily.

I believe this was it. Anyone else who was there know?

Great! I will try to get there about 11am. We had so much fun last year.
It will be good to see you again.

pamperedalf

I say around 8:30 ish is my vote, I thought there was a bar there we can meet at. I've always stayed at the Sheraton so I don't know.

pamperedalf

I'm on the phone on hold....so bear with me.
Amanda comes in about 1:00 and i'll be in at 3 but not at the hotel until about5ish. Whats going down?

Amanda, you'll have Amber if she's back from 1st timers and her HO tour.

pamperedalf

I don't think she'll be back until around when you get out, but of course she can come hang out w/ me if she is back. I can't piss off the driver otherwise I'll be hitching a ride home.

Ok ladies this is a bump for our meet n greet...

We will meet at the Hilton lobby bar at 8:15 ish.... If you need to be later no problem. Just show up when you can... See you all in a few days..... YEA!!!!

About the Lunch time meet... I heard that everything is in one building this year so maybe the place we have met at in the past is too far.... ???? Any thoughts for those of you who are veterans at NC...

here's the info I got from the McCormack website:
In the Lakeside building there are no sit-down or cafeteria type restaurants. They have a take-out coffee shop which is on level 2 which is the main floor. They say that they have some other take-out place on level 3 but I have never seen it (maybe someone else has).
Even if we take-out, there is no where to really sit except to sit on the floor somewhere. Or we can go outside (bridge between the buildings) where there are a few seperated tables, but we won't know if it will be raining (it has) or too hot.

So to answer you question - I don't know. I'm just providing the info and let's see what everyone else says. I'll go wherever.
