Place for people watching at night

[liriel101.livejournal.com]

Hi all! This will be my 11th Dragoncon in the last 12 years, so I'm not new to it, but I've got an unusual query. I have a friend I'd dearly love to attend, but he's worried about the crowds (especially at night). Is there a good place to hang out and just people watch, that would allow him not to be in the crowd? I seem to remember a restaurant or bar that was glassed in so you could watch, but can't remember where it is. Any ideas?

Sponsor Bleeding Cool's coverage of Dragon*Con!

Hi, I'm Bill Meeks and once again I'll be covering Dragon*Con for Bleeding Cool. Bleeding Cool is a Comics/TV/Film website that is in Technorati's top 5 entertainment sites and gets over 1,000,000 uniques per month.

I'm trying to raise some funds to improve the quality and turnaround time on the coverage by having a hotel room on site. I set up an Indiegogo to fund it here:

Indiegogo: Help Send Bleeding Cool to Dragon*Con

You can give whatever you'd like and you'll a 'Special Thanks' in all of our coverage as well as access to all the raw images we take (last year we took about 3,000 pictures) that you can use for whatever purposes you'd like. A little more will also net you some souvenir from the convention (or a beer on me if you are coming to the con).

We are also offering full sponsorships at $50 per day, which will get you an ad right at the front of a certain day's videos. We aim to put out 4-6 videos per days and our videos last year averaged around 2,000/video. Based on interviews we already have set up I expect our views to double this year if not triple.

So, thanks if anybody can help make our coverage even better this year, and we'll see you at the con!
