[Dec31-Jan2] SoCal Anime Suite New Years

[shtkn]

I've booked a suite for 2 nights during new years in Irvine. Same plan as last time, 

Venue Fee:
Free, but bring setups and food

Location:
Embassy Suites
2120 Main Street
Irvine CA

Room Number:
915

Start/End
Starts when I check in on Dec 31. Ends Jan 2.

Parking
I asked @chzchan to check out the parking situation and he said for free parking you can park across the street (see his diagram below). Also if you're bringing stuff, I can validate for you (I assume I need to bring you to the front desk?). I'll save validation for people bringing food/setups.

I haven't checked this myself (as I live in San Diego), but i'll take his word for it. If you want to park in the hotel's parking, it'll cost i think $10-15.

Spending the Night
If you're from out of town, let me know and I will probably say feel free to stay the night. Don't want anyone driving long distances drunk/super tired or anything.

Supplies
I plan on bringing cups, plates, napkins, and trash bags, but i'm certain that we will run out, so i'd appreciate if ppl brought some more just in case. Please post in here with what you plan on bringing.

If you have any questions, please ask.

Alright here are a couple diagrams for how parking will hopefully work.

When entering in by making a left on Gillette Ave, do not go straight into the parking structure as the hotel does not validate parking in that area normally. Make a U-turn and then a right into the Embassy Suites parking lot and then continue along the path until reaching the lower entrance. The tickets from this lot can be validated by the one who booked the hotel room though this lot is small and fills up fast. I am unsure about how lenient the hotel will be with giving out their validations if the number of cars being asked for goes over a certain point, but if the lower structure becomes full they have allowed validated parking in the upper levels. If for some reason you are not able to get validation then it'll probably cost 15 dollars here or at the structure on the other side of Gillette. For anyone planning on staying multiple nights I highly suggest parking here.

If things do actually overflow and the ones who do not get validation do not want to pay, there is a large structure right across Von Karman Ave that does not have a pay station at the front or permit requirement. I have parked here before when going to visit someone at St Jude Medical Center for the day since the surrounding parking areas are usually packed and nothing bad happened. I have not, however, left my car in the structure overnight so do so at your own risk.

I'll be there. I'll be bringing a ps3 setup for xrd, beer, and a bunch of sparkling cider that chzchan bought for the event.
