It certainly can't be free.

And having been at the last one well worth EVERY penny. Great venue. Great Food and Priscilla did an amazing job setting it up. Which it should be noted she did for free, Just like this one.

Added!

I'm gonna add a possible 2 others... they want to attend the con, but I don't know if they'll be able to make it, so I'd rather slot them a space, then have those two available for a possible 'waiting list' if they don't make it.  If that's okay by you. =)

This is a family-style restaurant, so we'll be ordering a bunch of platters of food for everyone to dig into.  Everyone will pay for their share of the food, plus whatever drinks they order.  Very civilized. :D

*makes a note to bring cash*  And I just wanna add my thinks to Prisc.   You rock!

Richmond Road.  It's about a mile and a half from the con hotel.

It certainly can't be free.

I meant to actually show up, like that 150 dollar fee (or whatever it was) to come to the NYCC fan dinner.

I can afford to pay for dinner, but not to shovel out that kind of major cash...

The ticket price for the NYCC fan dinner was $30: $25 for food and $5 to cover the tickets of our Guests of Honor and their guests, plus PayPal's fees.

I auctioned off three tickets to cover myself in case we had any unexpected costs.  That's where the $150 figure came from.  There ended up being no unexpected costs, so I was able to donate the full sum (about $500) to the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.  (And whoops, I just now realized that I didn't subtract the $25/person food price from that sum.  I guess I donated an additional $75 of my own money to Avon. :D)

You can check out Sal's menu for an idea of how much you should expect to pay at the MarsCon Fan Dinner.  It's a local Italian place.  You're not going to break the bank. :D
