...Summarizing Shortmystery and offlist discussion:<br /><br />Art Taylor, Ray Daniel, Judy Penz Sheluk, and John Floyd are deciding on the restaurant. The frontrunner is <a href="http://www.oxfordraleigh.com/" rel="nofollow">The Oxford Pub</a> (319 Fayetteville Street, Suite 105).<br /><br />Some members, including Kathy Ryan, will meet in the lobby of the Marriott City Center 11:15 A.M. Friday to walk to the restaurant. If others are coming to lunch from the Sheraton, they can meet in that lobby at the same time, and walk to the restaurant.<br /><br />Any members who happen to miss meeting in the hotel lobbies can just go on to the restaurant themselves.Gerald Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03571407711439433431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018026684247683010.post-42643160131116144442015-09-03T16:04:54.286-04:002015-09-03T16:04:54.286-04:00Members Judy Penz Sheluk and John Floyd are also a...Members Judy Penz Sheluk and John Floyd are also available Friday, 11 A.M.-1 P.M., so 11:30 A.M. could be a good meeting time. Since B'con attendees will be staying at several hotels, I recommend meeting at the restaurant of choice. <br /><br />Any recommendations besides Crema?Gerald Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03571407711439433431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018026684247683010.post-16859010643047522892015-09-03T09:05:34.222-04:002015-09-03T09:05:34.222-04:00The Friday lunch meetup sounds like it could work....The Friday lunch meetup sounds like it could work.

There's a gap in the panel schedule Friday, October 9, 11:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. Within that gap is the Bouchercon General Members Meeting. Any SMFS members <i>not</i> attending that meeting could get together for lunch.Gerald Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03571407711439433431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018026684247683010.post-88342717227637147152015-09-02T07:20:21.754-04:002015-09-02T07:20:21.754-04:00I tried to respond to this from my phone, but it e...I tried to respond to this from my phone, but it entered freakout mode and I had to switch to my laptop.

Crema has two locations: the anecdotally more recommended 121 Fayetteville Street, Suite 110, and a City Plaza location, 421 Fayetteville Street, that reopened September 1 after renovation. Both are on the same block as the Marriott City Center and one block over from the Sheraton.Gerald Sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03571407711439433431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018026684247683010.post-4312115321807813132015-09-02T04:31:30.120-04:002015-09-02T04:31:30.120-04:00I'd love to meet up at some point!

Seems like several folks are on panels at various times, and I know that at least a couple of mornings will be taken up with events for some as well (speed dating Thursday morning, and the Sisters in Crime Breakfast on Friday morning). A lunch get-together one day maybe? Just a suggestion. Looking forward to what others think!<br />ArtArt Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02409008167752619352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6018026684247683010.post-46082257920790848832015-09-01T22:50:22.279-04:002015-09-01T22:50:22.279-04:00Wow!
