Syfy Street Team!
On the streets of San Diego -- well, perhaps just in the gaslamp quarter, at intersections near the Hard Rock Cafe Hotel and the Convention Center, the Syfy Street Team was handing out postcards with a run down of Syfy related info - including when and where their panels would be this year, and packets that had in them one t-shirts that, with the help of the iron nearly every hotel room has in it these days, con attendees can turn into a shirt for one of their favorite Syfy shows using the iron-ons included.
Decisions, Decisions!
If I go with the suggestion of Syfy, and suit up this Saturday in my Syfy shirt will it simply tout the channel and their motto "Imagine Greater" or can I imagine something greater for myself, like a Stargate Universe logo, Warehouse 13... or Eureka... which might serve me well should I wander up the street to the Hard Rock Cafe Hotel where one of the restaurants has been made over in the image of Cafe Diem... or at least inspired greatly by it, including a special Syfy menu.
I willingly, and perhaps eagerly, admit I was blown away when I stepped into Cafe Diem this afternoon. From the stools at the counter, to the fun menu, it was easy to leave San Diego behind when the doors closed behind me, forget for a moment that Comic Con is a great chance to impersonate a chicken with their head cut off, and just take a nice deep breath and enjoy Cafe Diem.
On my list of recommendations to folks I encounter on the Comic Con exhibit hall floor this year is Cafe Diem, and the Syfy Street Team.
