<body><div>I've just added some of the local venues that Google found for me to <a href="https://github.com/perlconference/tpc-2018-slc/wiki/Arrival-Dinner">https://github.com/perlconference/tpc-2018-slc/wiki/Arrival-Dinner</a> and a comment or two on timing - in my experience it takes a good 2 hours to get served, if that, at the party sizes we regularly inflict on restaurants. In my experience usually standing and announcing "I'm going to X, anyone want to go with?" works pretty well. The key is having a consistent destination in mind and being somewhat vocal about it. If a group includes Larry it's probably going to be bigger just because of star power, but 12-15 is pretty reasonable.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>The destinations were all within 3-4 blocks of Little America, and all to the north. I think I was at Red Rock and maybe the Copper Onion when I was there last. Both had decent food (maybe with a nod to the Copper Onion) but I was with private parties both times, and ISTR a delay at Copper Onion but I might be misremembering. <br></div>

<div> A few of us at my company were discussing the arrivals dinner yesterday. I was informed that there was a request for someone to help organize a venue. Has anyone stepped up for this yet? If not, I can help by calling restaurants in the area near Little America. I'd just like a little assistance in attendance estimates. It sounds like we had about 30 people at the arrivals dinner last year and had quite a few more people at the arrivals dinner in SLC in 2015.<br></div>

<div> Here was a link a coworker dug up for the 2015 arrivals dinner details:<br></div>
