Event Services is going to fill every table so it would be nice if people who had something in common (the DIS Board) sat together.
Everyone that puts in a request to sit together has to be in the same package so be sure to check that.
The group I am going with already has a full table.
Now....I have to tell you a little story about "internet people".
In 2000, someone here on the DIS arranged a Pin Meet at the Natick Mall in Mass. Since I live in RI, I decided to go. It was one of the first pin meets ever scheduled and generated a lot of interest. Many people from around New England that posted on this board were going to attend. Vince & Suzi (Parkhopper Vince & Parkhopper) decided that they were going to drive up from Maryland to attend.
We had never met but had chatted several times by phone and email, and had traded tons of pins so we "knew" each other.......sort of.
Anyway...to make a long story short, they came to RI and stayed in a hotel right over the Mass border. The plan was, I was going to go pick them up at their hotel and we would all drive to the meeting which was about an hour away. When I told my husband my plans, he freaked.
Him "You're meeting these people from Maryland and driving with them to the mall....are you crazy, you don't know them."
Me "I know them, they're on the DIS Board. I've traded pins with them, they're fine."
Him "I can't believe you're doing this, how can you be so dumb, yada, yada yada."
This went on for about a half hour or so until he decided that I wasn't going to be safe unless he came along. Now MIND you.......he HATES pintrading.
I asked him what did he think was going to happenand what was he was so paranoid about.
His response........."they're internet people."
He did come to "protect me", he met Vince and Suzi and it was all okay.

They still tease him to this day about being "The internet people."
