So I called the Cheesecake Factory and they said it's pretty much first come first serve after 5:30 PM (which means no reservations). SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Is there anyone that knows "someone" there that can get us 50 spots reserved?

Really? I would think with such a large party they would be willing to set aside some sort of a banquet section or something... Did you try calling and speaking with the manager?

Like i was telling Kore, my friend is a manager there. He said Blizzcon is the busiest convention they have all year round, and it is always packed. As such, they can do small reservations but large parties are pretty much a no go. I'm going to talk to my friend this evening after we both get off of work to see what would be the best plan. Without a reservation and with 50 of us, we would be looking at quite a wait. But...let me see what I can swing.

Talked to him last night. Pretty much said the same thing the host told you when you called. Can't do large parties during the convention, especially at dinner.Best bet, if we really wanted to go there is to get there a little earlier, and even then, we probably wouldn't all be sitting together. Sorry =/. Time to go back to the drawing board. I wouldn't mind having an early dinner or even lunch just to join everyone, but that depends on everyone's preference.

Last time (or the year before) we drove everyone to a place a couple of minutes off. Doesn't sound like the best plan for 60 people, on the other hand I don't remember it being much of a problem to get together enough cars for the 30ish people that were there.

Here is the thread from back then:

me and my friend would love to attend whatever you guys are planning if you got room.

as far as this on the first night people mostly go visit other con-goers and hang around hotel rooms and then on the 2nd night everyone gets smashed at the after parties. the best one is the hilton hotel pool party. those kids usually bring free beer/soda for a good hundred people.

I'll be going. I'm working the lighting at Blizzcon so I got free tickets for a friend and I.

Origin - Las Vegas, NV
Transportation - Car
Staying At - Some hotel

And I'll for sure go to dinner if there's room

Edit: And I'm perfectly willing to help pay for my share of banquet costs

I can try to get you one. I already used all my capital with the boss getting a free ticket for my friend, but maybe one of the lighting designers will know a way. Don't get your hopes up
