Let's not do the protest thingy. It speaks more about the protester than the cause.
My SIGGRAPH attendance is up in the air as we just launched a product. As for dinner, most years I've held it on Sunday as its easiest to reserve and the least scheduled evening of the conference. I typically don't formalize arrangements until a week or two before the conference because most restaurants don't accept reservations beyond one week in advance without a cash deposit, and asking for travel/schedule of dinner attendees has been very unreliable at best because people are working on projects up to the last minute and/or jockeying to get into the studio parties and user groups. I literally don't know who will show up until we get to the restaurant, which makes it very difficult to plan and limits options. SIGGRAPH is a little later this year. Don't look for any dinner information from me until last week of July or first week of August. I'll get in touch with Adam offline to see what's up on his end. I'll definitely have the dinner next year and in 2016 as SIGGRAPH is in southern California both those years. I'm thinking 2016 should be the big sendoff as that's the first dinner after Softimage support officially ends.
