Which is the most kid-friendly? It’s entirely possibly I’ll have a 4 year old along with me for at least part of the convention!

There’s also any number of eateries on Weidler/Broadway within walking distance of the hotel and Lloyd Center – so no shortage of places not in the “con proper”, but very close to it.

A lot will depend on when I drive down to it. I’ll know more as we get closer.

Have you ever been to an SF convention? They can be a lot of fun but also a bit overwhelming the first time you walk into one.

As we get closer to the date, I’ll know more about my schedule and can put it up here, so we can figure out a coffee place and time.

Let’s pick a place and a time, and perhaps we’ll find others to join us. I am completely immunized to small children and the amazing things they may do in coffee shops. So no fears there.

I usually park the car once I’m at a con (to keep my parking space!) but I’m sure there will be hotel coffee shops or others close by, or even the hospitality suite can be a great place. Will you be attending Orycon, or just in the neighborhood?

Hi Robin,
