    Well the OP doesn't quite answer the questions I had, but then my original question is kinda vague and probably needs some narrowing down to get the answers I seek. Read through the entire thread instead (ow my eyes).

    Anyhow looks like lots of fun and a good way to cap off the MMT and lead up to a pub crawl. If you'll have this humble PAX rookie I would be glad to come.

    Edit: Also you have my condolences KaitouAyashi. With a name like that you must have been absolutely tortured in school.

    Probably not the right one to be answering your question but I'll try best I can...

    They usually rent out a venue and hire a catering company to provide the food...
    Last year I believe it was at an old Navy (as in army) Centre?

    As for this year, right now I think they're still looking around for appropriate venues to hold the dinner at.

    So if you were thinking they just hold it at a restaurant, I don't think that's the case...

    And yeah, KaitouAyashi, that was uncalled for... he was asking a innocent enough question.
    But yeah it is lots of fun apparently... I didn't have the chance to go last year as the CST rolled into town a little too late, but I'd like to go this year as it sounds like lots of fun.

    The CST rolled in right after the CCST. I know because we were still there when the CST arrived, and I took their group picture. Did you get separated from the main group?

    ... o_O

    Okay my mistake, I remember you taking that picture Moe...
    I remember now... it was because I left buying the dinner tickets too late and they were sold out.
    What time did the dinner start last year?

    What time will the dinner be ending? I don't know if you guys have everything hashed out yet but as a reference we started last year at 8:30.

    I have inside information that the tri-wizard schedule is tentative on someone answering this question.

    So... what is the estimated end time for the dinner? (for realz)

    According to the Washington Legislature website, 2am or earlier. They give cities the option of staying open later but google doesn't show that has happened in Seattle.

    1) I apologize to all of you for not being around more and providing updates on a more regular basis as I had wanted to do. My life has been hectic, I've had surgery just recently and my day to day job has been causing me a lot of headache, but I assure you that this dinner has been on my mind throughout.

    2) Atlus, we had planned on having the dinner END at 9, at which point the pub crawl could begin. If you have any specific questions, PM me. I'm more than happy to help you out.

    3) MetaverseNomad and I have been having LOTS of conversations and I think we've both agreed upon our venue!! I have a meeting with the Venue next week and assuming it goes as well as I think it will, we will be all set on our place of meeting, eating and partying down!! I also was just introduced to some delicious catered food this weekend and I'll be contacting that group to see what's what, because they were *fantastic*.

    4) Again, I apologize for not being around enough, but as Metaverse can attest to, I have been working my butt off to provide something new and different from the previous dinners (trying to do them justice, most than anything) while making sure it's affordable.

    It is terribly important to me and the rest of the group i've been working with that EVERYBODY who wants to come, is able to. We are doing this for you and to make sure you can attend, we're trying to keep costs down, quality and fun-factor high. So, while it's taken time for details to appear, I want you guys to understand exactly why it's been that way.

    5) For all of you, old friends, new PAXers and everybody in between...if you have questions, please feel free to contact me. I am more than happy to provide any answers I can. You can PM me here, you can email me at baphometsangel (@) gmail or you can hit me up on gmail chat. I will try to answer anything I receive as quickly as possible.


    Once again, I thank you for your patience and it would appear that there is an eagerness to see this dinner happen, which makes me even more excited to bring you information.

    Thanks guys.

    No, the dinner should be ENDING at 9. I'm hopped up on pain pills right now so my last post may have made less sense than I wanted it to.

    Next year you folks should get a count down timer in Square Enix style. If you aren't ready to make an announcement when the first timer reaches 00:00 you just put up another timer. Oh and the webpage shouldn't have any words on it. Just a picture of a panda skiing.

    So, no promises *just* yet as I'm STILL in discussions with food folks, but it's looking very much like we're gonna be able to do this for $30 per person!! Like I said, no promises, but it's certainly looking viable, which just tickles me pink as this will be on-par with what we had last year!
