Hey Everyone,
There seems to be some confusion over the logistics of this years meet & greet so I thought I'd start a new thread with the most up to date information.
This years Meet & Greet will take place at Crimson Lounge (http://crimsonlounge.com/) which has been reserved for September 14th. The lounge will be exclusively ours from 6pm - 11pm. The per person cost will be determined as we approach the event and will be determined by the number of confirmed attendees and pre-ordered food. Currently I'm estimating between $15 and $25. If you haven't confirmed your attendance please do so as soon as possible.
Average bar prices include…
Beer = $4.50
Mixed Drinks = $7 - $10
Wine = $7 - $10
Now for the big news!
I am happy to announce that Alicia Dattner (http://www.aliciadattner.com/index.html) will be headlining this years event with a 15 - 25 minute set. "Standup comedian Alicia Dattner has dedicated her life to perceiving The Grand Cosmic Joke: that pain exists for us to take ourselves less seriously, to laugh, and to experience the joy and wonder of an infinitely perfect universe."

Hi Dennis
I must confess I have never heard of Alicia Dattner, but live entertainment sounds good to me and adds a little something special to our night out.
Will there be a fee for her appearance? and if so how much would the cost be, just in case some have to work out their expences for the night.
Thanks again for all you are doing for our AMG.
Hugs

There is no fee. Alicia Dattner is graciously donating her talent to our special evening. The performance will be short and sweet, but will hopefully add another dimension to our evening togethor.
-
That sounds great Dennis..and nice of her to give us some of her time...I look forward to it.
Hugs

Sounds great!
I'll have to echo Jan here...
Thanks again for all you are doing for our AMG.

Hey Mr. AMG Cr:
Wow, this is a wonderful surprise.
Thank you, Alicia, for agreeing to be part of our meet and greet. The whole evening sounds like it's going to be fantastic.
Dennis, I think you're doing a bang up job! Thank you for everything you are doing to help us bring this gathering together. :-*

Now that sounds like a plan. May I chime in and also thank you Mr Dennis AMG Coordinator for all your effort. Melia often likes things organising for her; she's lazy like that. :D

Oops. I shoulda responded before now. I'll be there.

Dan,
Please re-read the original post at the top before making such a decision. I mentioned the price is going to be determined by the number of confirmed attendees and the amount of pre-ordered food. I estimated a price between $15 and $25. It will not be over $30 a person.
While this does sound like a fun evening & I appreciate all the hard work Dennis has put into the gathering if the price of the meal is still over 30.00 a person I will not attend the meet & greet dinner. Please take my name off the confirmed attendees list.

Dan,
No worries! Things like this have a way of working itself out.
I will wait to confirm if I am attending the meet and greet when Herman post what decision he makes. I have a certain amount of $ to spend on food each day while I am there & I have to stay within that budget if I want to eat everyday I am in San Francisco.

Hi there Mr AMG
Looks like we have a few more to add to the list, time for an update..attendence is looking good, it's going to be a great night.
Just a gentle reminder: Don't forget to add Jen (ozjen) and hubby to the list..also can we just keep this thread for the names of all those who will be attending...other posts can get in the way, and we don't want our My AMG losing track for the names, God forbid we should leave someone out.... ;) thanks.
Hugs

Just a reminder to please confirm your attendance at this years meet & greet if you haven't done so already. If possible, I'd like to wrap up all final details like attempting to decide on the amount of food to order and announcing the price per person.
Thanks!

Hello AMG attendees!
Please RSVP for this years Meet & Greet if you haven't done so already. This is extremely important. No only am I taking a huge personal financial risk I need to ensure that the proper amount of food is ordered and reasonable per person cost implemented.
Please RSVP by August 15th. The food order and per person cost will be posted prior to August 20th.
Below are members who have RSVP'd.

Whoopsie! Me too.
Like Danny, I will be on a strict shoestring budget. This event will likely be my only splurge.
Truth be told, I'll be finding a grocery or convenience store, and be eating simple stuff most of the trip.

Greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat to see you there Lisa!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :) :)

Hi Lisa-
Just reading this thread and wanted to say....
There's lots of corner grocery shops- but they're not necessarily cheap! You'd do best scoping out a Safeway or other supermarket close to where you are staying.
BUT- don't deny yourself the pleasure of a meal out, if you can possibly afford it. There's actually a number of good places to eat on the cheap in this city. Check out http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=cheap+eats&find_loc=San+Francisco%2C+CA&ns=1&rpp=10&x=0&y=0 (http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=cheap+eats&find_loc=San+Francisco%2C+CA&ns=1&rpp=10&x=0&y=0) for a pretty good list of places.
Do you like Mexican? The taquerias in the Mission are generally quite inexpensive ($4-6), and there's not a bad one in the lot!
I've been on this board since i got hiv a year ago. Don't post much, but I think it would be great to meet you all... uhmm.. can anyone come to the meet 'n' greet?
-
Regarding cheap meals--
Macy's (about 2 blocks from the hotel) has a food court in its basement with some reasonably priced choices. (But this is not the place for the usual fast food restaurants like MacDonald's.)
If you like pizza loaded with mozzarella cheese, Blondie's Pizza is at 63 Powell, just up the block from the hotel.
