But I haven't had much time to do much in terms of planning.

Cheap with booze is the requirements. :)

After speaking with a few people yesterday, the place that seemed to come up most given our guidelines was Buca di Beppo, 705 6th Ave., San Diego. It's about 7-8 blocks away from the Civic Center. Please check it out and let me know what you think. Here's the link:

Another option that was mentioned was Karl Strauss Brewery, 1157 Columbia Street, which is about 5-6 blocks away from the show. I think it's a bit more expensive than the other, but there isn't anything in downtown/Gas Lamp that is cheap, and someone mentioned that their beer sampler is a good deal. Here's the link to that one if you want to check it out:

Your thoughts?

I'm all over Buca there portions are huge and there is plenty of room for a big group at least here in Vegas as far as a watering hole as long as they have Soda we are cool with it

I like Buca's food but they dont have a bar which is what most are interested in.

They actually do, but its mostly wine and cocktails

There are some bars that were recommended to me, but I didn't want to exclude the under 21 group. I can call Buca's to find out what they have for a bar/booze.

Ok, here's what I found out. Buca does have a full bar- not a large one - it's fits about 30 people- mostly it's a place for people waiting for tables to sit. But, you can get alcohol.

Tony sent me this one:

The real question is, how many people are expected to show up? I'm counting around 10 for sure... Who else???

Buca is such a good place. Go ther ebvery year for my brithday. Anyways I know the one downtown is nice but on a Saturday night it defnitly gets busy, hope all of you can find room. Hope you guys have funm:banana:.

They have atm machines right outside the doors I believe. Most venders deal in cash only but some of the bigger booths might take cards. Not 100% on all that but that is what I remember from last year.

I remember EVERYONE taking cards....:confused:

dang lol thats bad news ><... I dont think my bank will allow me to take out more than 200 at a time.

Not all vendors take cards. I have turned down many a deal over it.

Hit the bank tomorrow Friday and stuff your pockets with cash!:D

Yuppers remember when dealing with vendors money talks. Its much easier to haggle when you got it in your hand.

P.S Im down for Buca I go to the one in Vegas every time im in town. Delicious. Its probably the best place for a moderately large group.

Breaking news!
I called the place mentioned and, given our guidelines, was recommended to the Stout Public House--a real bar and a restaurant (so no problems with under 21) that someone described as a "classy Irish pub". It's about 4 blocks from the show and their menu looks reasonable (so it's easier than going family style at Buca's). It's on 1125 6th Ave and we're thinking about meeting at 7 pm. Their website is:

What do you think?

Lol. I will be sure to hit ya up. Think Im goin again in october I think or september cant remember which. Stout public it is good within walking distance. I didnt want to drive since I will probably be drinking quite a bit. Well depending on how much I have left after the show lol.

Sounds like a plan:gj:

Close enough to call it



1 DAY MARK

What a good show! This was by far the most packed the San Diego show has ever been. All of the vendor's tables sold out, and as a customer it was tough finding space just to look at the animals. Hopefully good news to the reptile industry. I ended up with a beautiful orange ghost female bp from Reptile Industries. She's already taken a fuzzy rat. :banana:

On another note, this was the first time I've seen small turtles for sale. Have they changed the wording on the law for the sale of these animals in California? Tables had signs next to their small turtles stating that it was legal to sell on a small scale to enthusiasts (or something along those lines). I almost took home a couple of baby softshells...
