I would ask to be put on a waitlist. Very likely not everyone will show up and your name on the list will likely guarantee some priority.

Per the site link in the OP (emphasis mine):
"This event has sold out. There is no waitlist. However, you may come to the Library and wait in a stand-by line. If there are attendees with tickets who do not show up at the event we will release those seats to those in the stand-by line. There is no guarentee that you will be admitted to the event from the stand-by line. The stand-by line is first come first served."

Post #11 - August 31st, 2011, 1:12 pmThanks,
I did see that, but I work all the way up in Lincolnshire, I'd have to leave early to make it down there by 6PM. I might take the afternoon off and head down there anyways, see if I can catch a break.

Post #13 - September 16th, 2011, 11:54 amHi,
Whose going to this event? I was thinking maybe we could have dinner together afterwards.
I will be getting books, too, so that may delay an immediate departure.
Who might be in for this?
Regards,Cathy2

I can definitely use it. No excuse, since office is only a couple of blocks away and missed the event in SF, so this is perfect!
I am in for dinner as well.

I think Mercat would be a fine choice given the Spanish connection, proximity, and deliciousness.“Nothing is more agreeable to look at than a gourmande in full battle dress.”

Post #24 - September 26th, 2011, 10:54 amI would vote for Mercat as well--I eat at the Gage often and have only tried Mercat once. I like the Spanish tie in too..."Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad." Miles Kington

GAF - Would you like to take the lead a reserve a table for 6, and make the adjustment accordingly? 8:00 or 8:30pm?
We have the following folks interested in dinner so far:
1. GAF
2. Boudreaulicious
3. Siun
4. Cathy2 - Will Mercat work for you?
5. PG
