Written by Although meet and greets are a fun and often rewarding experience, they always come with a long, unpredictable wait time. The opportunity to meet entertainers who have been there for you during good times and bad is a once in a lifetime opportunity. An opportunity you don’t want to miss when given the chance, even if it means cutting into previously made plans.
If you’re heading to the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo (C2E2) this weekend, you’re probably eager to meet the people you consider your heroes and share the memories you’ve had with them — even if those memories were just on a screen or comic strip. The connections you’ve made with these characters goes far beyond that, of course.
Well, much like a meet and greet, what you do to celebrate after the fact is built around an experience of sentimental value. And what better way to do so than getting a nice dinner with the people you went to the expo with? The people who are just as ecstatic as you are about meeting the kids from Stranger Things.
This situation sounds a bit too good to be true, doesn’t it? All the restaurants near C2E2 are going to be slammed. A lot of restaurants in the city these days don’t take reservations, either, so where does that leave you and your friends?
Instead of putting your name on a waitlist and hoping for the best, try being your own hero this weekend and head to a restaurant that uses NextME. You’ll know exactly what place in line you’re in, so you can head to that meet and greet all while making it back on time to get seated. Waiting at a meet and greet is a process in itself. Let NextME take care of the rest.
Know a restaurant that can use NextME’s wait list app? Let us know the restaurant on our referral page and we’ll pay you $50.00 cash if they sign up.
Happy Waiting!
