The reason for the 8:00 PM reservation is because the restaurant closes down at 10:00 PM (as does the rest of Fayetteville on a weeknight) and I wanted to give us enough time to get there, get seated, watch dinner being made, eat, and socialize. I apologize to everyone who will be arriving too late for dinner but this was the best arrangement I could make. We will need to meet at the AWA hotel lobby at 7:30 PM and leave there by 7:45 PM that night. I expect we will get back around 10:30 PM which, hopefully, won't be too late for those wanting to be up early Friday.
For more details on the gathering, including a menu for the restaurant, check out http://homepage.mac.com/red_wolf/awa.html and hit the AMV Creator Gathering section. That page will be updated as we get closer to AWA. I will also ask later on that people contact me if they will be coming to dinner Thursday so I can know how many people and cars we'll have.
We're still open to suggestions for late night Thursday events and a gathering during the con itself. If there is an interest I can start to arrange some kind of lunch gathering Saturday afternoon. Just post if that is something you would like to do. I will leave the late night Thursday events to those coming in late (I have to be at work Friday morning myself).
