Here are our F***ing Friends connection ideas:
- The attendee limit for this meetup is set at a rough estimate of how much turf I will be able to claim. Of course you're going to come even if there's a waitlist on here, yeah? Would like to say "Hi" and see how you're enjoying the show if that opportunity surfaces after the festivities are underway 😃
- The official start time for first performance is 5pm while in Dice the start is shown an hour earlier when the gate opens. I will be there at or a little before 4pm to grab a drink and then do my best to stake out a couple of tables in the backyard (partial panorama posted below). You just get there when you can but sooner is better so you can help hold down our meeting spot 😃
- If you’re a fan of the food truck scene then you know that a wait from those that are actually open often comes as part of the deal at big events. Even with dietary restrictions, there will be some items for you (direct links above, underlined if available) but pace yourself to have a good experience.
