I was lucky enough to attend a couple of these in the early days ... you guys
have to line up and take a photo 'last supper' style. =)

I have arranged a Siggraph dinner for most of the past 15 years, usually on
Sunday evening to kick off the week as it has the fewest conflicts with other
Siggraph activities. It’s a time to put a face to a name, share war stories
from the studio, and make new connections to build your network. While most
attendees are Softimage users, it’s not strictly the case. I encourage
students and other guests come along. The dinner is casual, and everyone pays
his/her own way.
I typically rotate restaurants each time and pick somewhere nice. The
exception being the past few times Siggraph was in Los Angeles with dinner at
Trader Vic’s. Well, Trader Vic’s is no more (in LA) [Sad smile] . I have a
few replacements in mind, but wanted an idea of who would be interested in
meeting as head count determines whether I have to leave deposits, use fixed
menus, and so forth. I would like ball park figures on those details to more
quickly rule in/out possible restaurants. Preliminary thinking is someplace in
the LA Live district immediately north of the convention center, but it only
has chain restaurants and closes a little earlier being a Sunday. Alternate
choice is the Pacific Dining Car on 6th street which is built in a converted
railroad car and a tad pricey (tourist attraction), but is open 24 hours and
food is rated as very good.
Date:
Sunday August 9, 2015
Time
Meet and greet: 6:00 pm – closed
Seated for dinner at roughly 7:15 pm
Anybody can show up for meet and greet, but only those who RSVP will be
seated for dinner.
Where:
TBD based on response.
if you’re interested in attending, send an email to
matt(dot)lind(at)mantom(dot)net<mailto:matt.lind@mantom%28dot%29net> with
subject “Siggraph dinner 2015”. Please include the following information with
your RSVP:
- your name
- number of guests (including yourself)
- any special needs (food allergies, dietary needs, handicap access, etc...)
- most reliable contact info you can be reached (email/phone/text/...)
(think in terms of when you’re in Los Angeles)
Please only RSVP if you’re sure you want to and can attend. Late comers are OK
(to attend technical papers fast forward, for example) as long as you notify me
in advance. Whatever you do, don’t RSVP and then not show up. That leaves me
and others on the hook for anything reserved and not used. Don’t be that guy.
thanks,
Matt
