    Recover at our comic con recovery & ice cream social Aug 2nd.

    Trade swag if you got any our just eat ice cream and cake.

    Current location will be mission bay next the the children"s playground ( so those of you with kids can turn them loose there ).

    Starting time to be determined.

    People can bring whatever food stuffs they want or nothing at all. No pressure.

    If people can help with bringing utensils and stuff that would be a big help.

    Also if anyone would like to help in the ice cream and cake department that would be appreciated.

    Big question is is this too soon after comic con, should it be pushed back a week?

    Changes have been made to this event!

    This will now be a traditional Comic con recovery party ALL MEMBERS AND POTENTIAL MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OR GENRAL RIFF RAFF ARE INVITED.

    Date: Aug 2nd
    Time: 1pm - 4pm ( showing up earlier and staying latter is allowed and encouraged )
    Location: Mission Bay Park near the children’s playground.
    Directions: https://www.google.com/maps/dir//32...720834,-117.2100257,16z/data=!4m3!4m2!1m0!1m0

    Things we have.

    Jacob and jess will be making up fliers to put out at comic con.

    Jess will be picking up a half flat of cake (chocolate I believe ) and a cooler and dry ice for the ice cream.

    I (paul) will be bringing eating utensils ( spoons, bowls napkins )1/2 gal vanilla & 1/2 gal rocky road ice cream.

    Things we need.

    More ice cream, if a few people bring a 1/2 gal each or whatever that would be great.
    Easy up for shade.
    Tables.
    Drinks.
    Other tasty snacks.

    Comments & suggestions please post.

    Whenever it is, I can try to bring dry ice to keep all the ice cream frozen.

    Historically the Recovery Party is the Saturday after Comic-Con.

    Do you want me to make a flyer? I'll ask if Rebel Legion will let us put it on their table. :)

    I can't feed half of comic con.:)

    Sorry, I thought you understood about the purpose of the Recovery Party.

    Since 2002 the Recovery Party was intended as a way for new members or prospective members to meet up with the club after talking with us at Comic-Con. Flyers were made and kept on our table so that when we talked to people about joining SDFF we could hand them a flyer about the event. With no table this year we don't have the ability to recruit.

    If this is intended as a current members only event, then we don't need flyers.

    I do understand about the recovery party but that was in the past and maybe in the future it will be again.

    Right now I'm less concerned about finding new members than I am about getting current members active in the club again.

    If new people come out and see 2 or 3 people at an event their not likely to bother with coming out to a second event. We need to reach out to our existing members and encourage them to become involved in the club again so we can show new member an active and hopefully vibrant community they want to be a member of.

    Jacob has reported that from facebook we have 10 RSVP's and 3 maybes.

    So far we only have volunteers bringing cake, ice cream and utensils.

    Tables.

    Other tasty snacks.

    and whatever else I'm forgetting.

    oh I know what I'm forgetting some form of entertainment like lawn darts ( ok I don't think those are legal in this state anymore but you get the idea ) maybe something less dangerous like Bocci ball.

    Brian, bottled water and whatever would be great.

    Jacob, I think it's a little too late to get a permit from parks and recreation for using the flamethrower. But maybe we could use it this winter for a s'mores event or maybe a end of the summer weenie roast.

    I picked up two bottles of chocolate syrup last night. I'll pick up ice cream on the day of.

    Also, while I was working the Rebel Legion table two ladies saw the flyer and said they'd like to come. I hope they do. :)
