CF9 con report page 1
I found copies of a old con report in a box of art that escaped the burn pile. I used to always draw up con reports of the cons I attended.
CF9 was held at a hotel near Knots Berry Farm that year, Plus I am running this mainly as a response to something that came up last year.

Nor I, only ONE Dennys I ever ate at wasn't a culinary nightmare or a filthy mess. And that was a literal brand new Dennys back east. It had opened just a couple days prior and the place still reeked of fresh paint.
The Worst was in Scottsdale Arizona, Literally had a roach crawl across the table as we were opening up the menus and the waitress took a menu and killed it on the table and didn't even bother wiping off the dead bug. We just got up and walked out right then and there.
During FC 2, several of us hit a Dennys late at night near the hotel. The food was utterly horrid, greasy or dry, the orange juice even separated within minutes. We complained about the food quality and the manager demanded we still have to pay. We refused and they called the cops on us. The cops arrived and I showed one cop that I could whittle a sausage into a sharp spike and banged another against the table edge to where the sausage broke like a stick. And the toast was like picking up a wet cracker. The cops looked at this and t old us to try a different restaurant further up the road and told the manager to get his shit together.

Damn, I've been to two lousy Denny's. One in Kingman AZ was a roach motel. One in Dallas during a con food outing seated about 12 of the DBU gang, Tracy K and a few others in the back and forgot about us. After a couple hour bullshit session we were going Where's the food
I asked the manager about it or should I just call Dominos and have them deliver 6 large pizzas to the place...
Waitress had bailed and never dropped off the order.
Local Denny's is decent and clean - I found they have some gluten free offerings. Tried the one in Payson AZ one night after work, got a decent steak and eggs meal.

We rallied at a Denny's in Ann Arbor, MI before heading down to the Air Force Museum with the NAR Section (model rocketry geeks) back in '99 IIRC. Don't recall any issues with the meal. After reading your follow-up, I do not regret not being able to get a free breakfast on my birthday. The nearest such restaurant is in Saginaw anyway.
Too see a roach in lighted conditions doesn't compliment that place very much at all! Speaking as a former certified pest control operator here.

I've eaten at two different Denny's Restaurants and my experience was similar to yours. One around Springfield, Massachusetts subtly declined to serve my boss for... reasons. As soon as I put in my order, I hit the men's room, and ran into my boss at the sinks. "They taken your order yet?"
"Nope."
"Let me try something that worked when I was in security." I went back and sat down at my table with the other two in our party; my boss sat at the counter because the bitch had seated someone else at his table.
The waitress brought my order (bad as it was); I jerked a thumb at my boss. "What about that guy?"
She glanced at him. "Looks like a troublemaker. 'Sides, we're shorthanded today. He'll get over it."
I leaned in close and spoke in a stage whisper, "You better 'get over' there, now. He's our boss and he's the guy expensing this trip."
She got on her giddy-up and took his order. When an older couple cashed out we pushed two tables together to make room for four. "I'll take care of the tip," I said. I gave each member of our party two cents to leave in their places.
"Nope."

Yeah, CF9 was seriously fucked up in so many ways. Silfur prancing his naked ass about with the dixie cup covering his junk, waving his ass in front of his friends in front of the restaurant filled with Mundanes watching in horror as he chirped "Doesn't this look delicious?" A friend of mine said loudly "I have an old Japanese Bayonet up in my room, I'm going to get it and turn that guy into a human pop-sickle." Silfur just pranced off giggling.
I wouldn't see Silfur again til FC-1, and I at first didn't recognize him. He was actually cleaned up and wearing a business suit. I asked him WTF brought this on, he replied that he saw video footage of his antics at CF9 and the mundanes looking horrified and disgusted as he waved his ass wearing just the dixie cup, bunny tail and ears. He was utterly ashamed of himself and vowed to never act like that again. Give the boy credit, he actually pulled his head out of his ass after acting like the bouncy freak show for a couple years.
I also was dragging Roy Pounds (
steamfox )about the con with another whos name I am spacing, we dragged him up to folks with a coffee can saying we are raising money to drag Roy to Tijuana to get him laid. Roy was squirming like a greased pig an we literally had people stuffing the can with money. Roy eventually broke free cause he was sweating up a storm with embarrassment, but he got like almost $200 out of it! We would have too had he not broken free.
