***UPDATE*** 7/29/2009
Looks like Friday night is looking good for a quick AVN gathering.
Shall we say, Friday Sep 4, 7pm?
AB, there is a Muvico very close, walking distance to the hotel... for those of you that don't know what Muvico is, its a hyped-up theatre where you can eat and drink (bar) etc. Here's the link: https://www.muvico.com/default.asp?t=210
There are also a couple of bars like RAM and Shoeless Joe's that are a couple min cab ride away.
Sham, I'll probably stop by Thursday as well so let me know if you need some pointers or what not... we can start the party before everyone lol Who else will be there Thursday?

My suggestion is either Friday or Saturday night...depending on when everyone gets there. Usually everyone is there and checked in by Friday night so that may be the best time, but it also could be too early for some locals who might work Friday and be there later.
Saturday is a good time too, so I'm more for this option. Maybe during the day/afternoon, before the party. There are some restaurants very close to the convention center also some bars a 5 min cab ride away.
I don't like Sunday because its usually too late in Convention time and chances are we will have already seen each other at the party(ies) on Saturday.
What do you all think?
My vote is Saturday afternoon, before party. 3pm-6pm?
