    I'm not able to find it, either. I'd like to attend this, so please add me from here.

    thank you

    My maybe is because I get in at around 5:50 pm on the 2nd. I've been trying to get an earlier flight but they keep wanting to hit me with rebooking fees so I might try the airlines themselves or try other channels.

    Put me down for this (+1). I also had trouble bringing the Facebook group up. I look forward to having delicious fish and chips with a roomful of wizards (even if I'm not participating in the tournament).

    Sorry for the problems with the Facebook group. It is back up now. My account (and the group) was deactivated for a few days. FB got really freaked out that I was in Nigeria (visiting a friend from law school) and shut down the whole account. Luckily, I have a friend at FB who was able to restore it for me! You should be able to access it now and register.

    They thought you were a scammer? That's actually kind of funny. Well, it is since you got your account restored - if you weren't able to then it probably wouldn't be so funny. Glad it worked out though! :P

    We're fast approaching the 50 person mark. I'm going to talk to the folks at Pike Fish Fry to see whether I can negotiate a discount. Because the only thing better than fried food is cheap fried food!

    I am more concerned if they can handle the large group. If they don't have advanced notice, it will be a clusterfuck in there, and we will get the worlds worst service. Have they been contacted about this at all?

    Myself and the +1 are going to have to pass on this, but we'll still be at the Wizarding itself!

    I was gonna post something about this. The restaurant is more of a walk-up closet than a sit down and chill place. It is connected to the bar Neumos, and they deliver to the bar, but then the under-21s might have problems. Of course, since this is associated with the Drinking Tourny, that might not be a concern.

    Our flight arrives at 5:30 so we were looking to get fast grub around 7ish in order to give us time to drop our crap at the hotel, etc, which is a bit after the proposed 6:30 start. How would that be affected by the catering change?

    I'll be asking everyone to give their estimated time of arrival, and I can let the restaurant know in our order :)

  • KnifeySpoonyKnifeySpoony Registered User
    I'll have to talk it over with my group as it isn't a definite with us. Worse comes to worst we may end up just ordering on our own.

    Read Me Now!!!


    I've spoken to the folks at Pike's Fish Fry. They can do the numbers we're bringing, but will need to do it as a catering order. Good news: it's cheaper!!

    Bad news, we need to make our orders ahead of time. This means that they will not be able to handle walk-ins beyond the first dozen.

    I'll be posting their catering menu on here as soon as they send it through to me. Please PM me with your order. I will be ordering as a single purchase, and will collect money on the day. Please don't order and then not show up, as then I will be out of money and that would make me sad. You don't want me to be sad, right?

    Once again, I will post the menu as soon as I have it. Thanks guys!! You all rock :)

    Hey can you add Jekht + 1.
    Can't wait!

    I got a flight change finally so I will be arriving early in the day, you can bump me up to attending.
    If someone doesn't show then we can just throw in a few more dollars and eat theirs. haha.

    Pub-crawlin' on a stomach overflowing with fried seafood may not be the best idea, but it is one that I wholly endorse.

    Yeah I took that into consideration myself. What's wrong with some reprocessed food during spell casting at the pub-crawl? haha. Nah don't worry not my first go around with food and tasty beverages. Nothing beats some food to help soak up all those spells anyways?

    Nothing to see here. Move along...for now...

  • strebaliciousstrebalicious Registered User regular
    Little more complicated than just popping in somewhere for some grub, but I for one am up for it. Or down for it. Or which ever direction is the hip way nowadays.

    I agree. I had kind of hoped to just stop in somewhere to get some food. Wasn't really expecting this level of community interest, tbh!

    I'm going to ask them how many people they cold feasibly serve as walk-ins oer the course of an hour, just to see whether we could keep this less formal...

    In the meantime, taken down my other post to avoid confusion.

    Id also edit the first post and remove the "Show and and order free for all" bit since now its a catering order.

    On a side note may I suggest the Catfish to those that have never had it.

    Im a huge fan of it, and if done properly it is glorious.

    Theres this one place in Mississippi that deep fries their catfish in crush pork rinds, its a truck on post at Camp Shelby. Last time I was down there for three weeks and it was my supper 3 days a week.

  • MelesMelesMelesMeles Registered User
    Okay, here's the deal. version 5.0.

    THe bar next door will allow us to reserve some booths (hopefully) so that we have a place to sit and eat. They have a standing deal with the fish fry to allow you to order from the bar to have food from the fish fry delivered to the bar.

    We can order off the regular menu, pay individually, and keep it informal. I think this is the best possible arrangement!

    If you feel like doing it, letting me know what your order will be in advance would be helpful, but not at all necessary.

    I love you all. Seriously, I love you guys for all the enthusiasm you have for what is, effectively, going to grab a bite of food. I may be forced to kidnap some of you and take you back to the UK with me.

    Hurrah!
