Count me in. Hope that helps with the tallying.
I'm confirmed.
I'm confirmed.
Pretty sure I'll tag along.
I'll be there.
I'll be there, playin' games, eating food, sleepin' on your floor. The usual.
Tylers is good and we've had previous S&T's at their Apex location. That's got my vote. Garlic fries... *drool*

I love Tylers! I've amassed quite a collection of pint glasses from their pint nights.
[url=http://www.tylerstaproom.com/locatio...'s Tap Room[url], which is an 8 minute walk from the Convention Center. It has outdoor dining, a private room, and a delicious looking pizza on the website.
The Tylers location in Durham is in the American Tobacco Campus, so it will probably be crowded. If we are there at 5 as discussed, it shouldn't be too bad though. There are public areas with tables at ATC, but given that it is a public area, I don't think you can carry alcohol to it.
James Joyce Irish Pub which has picnic tables out back and is a 12 minute walk from the convention center.
I have not been to either, though I hear they are good.
AndyK (DiamondSutra) will be running quick games of Maid, Tenra, and other small-press RPGs at the "Games on Demand" area. If you like tabletop RPGs and want to try out new games, this is a good place to visit. Central NC has a lot of heavy hitters in the indie RPG market and I think several will be there.
Tyler's is popular for Monday night football, so probably hard to get through. I will try to call tomorrow, but I will be at a company meeting all day. According to the agenda we will be breaking for lunch around 11:30, so I can try to call then. You can add a +1 for me in the OP if you want, I convinced my wife to join us.
Put me as a maybe for Tyler's. A couple of friends are having birthday parties that day.
Called Tyler's today. They do not take reservations or call aheads. Guy I spoke with (Ryan) said that it shouldn't be a problem to seat 20 around 5-5:30, though they will not seat us until half the party has arrived.
I'll be there.
I'm probably way too excited for a small 5,000 person expo.
Yup, but that's because its my first expo/con/geek culture event.

Me too. My wife is meeting us at Tyler's Saturday evening, but I will be attending the expo Saturday alone. Let me know if anyone wants to meet up.
If you guys want I can PM you my phone number for texting and other such things. That or we can come up with a Twitter hashtag to try and keep connected. Evidently some folks are already using #EscapistExpo, though not many.
PM sent.
I'll pm my number but creating a #tag like #GWJEscapistExpo would let others follow us.
Count me in for the slap & tickle. My wife might be coming along too. Let me know who I send my phone number to...I don't want to miss out on things.

I'm also very excited for this. First time going to anything like this.
I'm working on Friday so I won't be attending the expo until Saturday.
I am not going... Sudden grave illness in the family. My travel plans to Escapist Expo are replaced by travel overseas to my dad's bedside.
Sad news, Gorilla.
