The empty place is for Bigfoot
Cath, of her kindness, has been doing the yeoman work of organizing two Gatherings of Light at Sasquan. This is the master information post, which can be linked to and referred to. It is versioned, and will be updated if details change.
This is revision 3, as at Thursday 20 August
THURSDAY DINNER
(Twitter hashtag #MLthursdaydinner)
Thursday, August 20, 7:30 pm Pacific Time
Location: Saranac,21 West Main Avenue, two and a half blocks from the convention center. Map link here
Meet at 7 pm Thursday evening inside the ground floor pointy end of the exhibit hall. Outside you can see the little green park on West Spokane Falls Blvd, and the crosswalk over highway 2. A few steps away from the escalator there are some benches next to Elevator 14. Cath will be there from 6:45 onward.
For identification purposes, she describes herself as "middle-aged, pale skin, red hair, glasses, and will be holding a red Chinese paper lantern."
If you run late, come find us at Saranac. The reservation is under the name of Cath Rowan.
IMPORTANT: If you'd like to join the dinner expedition, please post an explicit "I am coming to Thursday dinner" comment on this thread by midnight Sunday Aug 16 Mountain time the evening of Wednesday 19 August, or until all 20 seats are filled. Cath will comment with updated attendance lists.

Drop by when you can, BYO beverages, snacks, handwork, etc

GENERAL COORDINATION
Contact details for Cath: cathrowan at the Canadian extension of Yahoo (nationality is important in this context); if you need a cell phone number, contact her that way. She is also @cath_rowan on Twitter (in case the convention center bandwidth overloads).
She promises to do her best to monitor all three (e-mail, phone, and Twitter) closely during the couple of hours before each event.
Cath was also suggesting using #MakingLightatSasquan to find other fluorospherians at panels, company for a meal, etc.
