Breakfast w/ Special Guests

Printer-friendly version

The deadline has passed. We're no longer selling tickets for the Breakfast Buffet.


Come join us for a Breakfast Buffet with your favorite Guest of Honor or special guest!

The Breakfast Buffet will be Sunday morning (January 16, 2011) at 11AM.

Tickets for the Breakfast Buffet are $35 and now available (see below).
The deadline for purchasing tickets is January 10th. No tickets will be sold after then.


2011/1/6: Kelly Armstrong, Josh Simpson, Shaenon K. Garrity, and Eric in the Elevator’s tables are Sold Out. Better hurry and purchase your banquet tickets before more tables are gone. Don’t miss your chance to have a personal conversation with someone you’d really like to talk with.


This will be a great opportunity at the convention to sit down and chat with your choice of a fannish "person of interest," such as one of our Guests of Honor. We will have 12 tables of 8 persons each; at each table will be a special guest. This is definitely a first-come, first-served event, so buy your ticket early if you want to make sure you get your top choice!
