Are we having the traditional Card Talk meetup/dinner on Saturday night? It's always one of the highlights for me, nice to sit and chat with folks and find out about the stuff I didn't find yet.

Yes, we are!! Same place as last year, I believe, just have to confirm the details with Nat.

Hurray.

Hopefully I will be able to find the meet up this y
ear. I went to the restaurant and the hostess had no clue and I e-mailed a couple people and no one replied so I left.

Hi All, Yes I can officially announce that we are indeed having the SDCC Card Talk Meetup/Dinner On Saturday night July 21 @ 7:30pm at the Seasons 52 restaurant. Same place as last year. 789 W Harbor Dr. Walking distance from the Convention Center and right next door to the Manchester Grand Hyatt. If you are interested in attending please RSVP to either Natalie (NL) or myself Pendragon with the number in your party. We will need a head count for the seating and other surprises. Looking forward to seeing one and all!

Looks like the show is getting some bad publicity from the media, unfortunately

The press can write lots of articles about the darker side of celebrity fans, just take a look at the comments on social media. The fan sites themselves are overrun with stans and shippers and trolls. SDCC has nothing to do with it, except as a huge outlet for the studios to heavily promote their new products and showcase their star actors. Its supposed to be good press.

If the celebrities themselves are souring on meeting their public at large gatherings because of things that show up on fans sites or Twitter or whatever, that's a different matter and not the fault of any event.

Thank you NL, Debi and Jerry for organizing another fun dinner.This is always one of the highlights of SDCC for me as it's nice to sit down and catch up with everyone. Thanks also to everyone who donated prizes for the raffle.
