    The dinner ends prior to the bar crawl AND is in the same area. I can't give you any more thumbs up than I am right now. :^:

    One of the main reasons we opted for this particular venue.

    It really depends on how you balance your diet from now until then, but I would imagine you'll be fine. :p


    Also, just because dinner starts at 5:00pm, doesn't mean you have to GET there at 5:00pm...but it can't hurt.

    Ahh! The PAXTrain won't be making it into the station until 8:45 so no matter how much I wanted to go I'm not going to have any sort of chance of making it. While a bit late for dinner it would still be nice if next year the various community activities could be planned with a bit more allowance for those of us taking part in the community trips. I believe CCST will be making it in in time to attend, but once again the federal government has found a way to interfere in my ability to party.

    So we get stiff once in a while. So we have a little fun. What’s wrong with that? This is a free country, isn’t it? I can take my panda any place I want to. And if I wanna buy it a drink, that’s my business.

    This may sound like a stupid question, but why is it almost 30 bucks? Unless their lasagna is made of fine silk hahaha

    Main course, salad, rolls, drinks, that should be close to $20 anyway. Plus we gotta rent the joint.

    Between the food, drink, venue and the fact that inflation is a surly prick, that's where the money goes. As I said in the original post, we're strictly covering costs...our budget is set to break even and there's a good chance that I'm still going to have to foot the bill for some of this.

    We looked a large amount of venues and catering options, and this combination was the most economical with the best value associated. So, unfortunately no silk lasagna, but it's a damn good lasagna.

    FYI, *mention* if you are going to have to foot some of the bill.

    I'm thinking that there are *some people* here who would be offended if you went to all this effort and work and ALSO had to shell out bonus dollars.

    To be honest, I don't mind. This is a tradition that we want to keep alive and times are tough all over right now. We talked to so many different caterers and venues trying to find the best value for *YOUR* dollar and this was the solution that we felt fit best.

    If I have to shell some out of pocket, so be it, as long as everybody that shows up has fun and enjoys themselves. That's all that matters to *me*. Money is just money, but PAX memories will last all of you forever (or until you hit some form of alzheimers/dementia).

    I've got my tickets to the Pre-PAX Dinner and the Post-PAX Party and, of course, I'll hit up the Pub Crawl. I think that completes my forum event trifecta. Unless I can come up with a decent button design for the buttoneers, but that'd make it a quadfecta and that just sounds funny.

    I'm registered for all three and I almost never touch the forums - except to look for info on PAX events. Had fun at the pre-pax dinner and TWDT last year, expect to do so again this year.

    I dunno, I rolled a 33 on my stealth check, so you probably couldn't see me!

    Sure, you roll a 33 on stealth checks but when we are 2 failures into a skill challenge and all you have to do is roll a 2 or higher you roll a 1... o_O

    Don't trash the place! I'm getting married there two weeks later! :D. Also the "When" doesn't have a date but I presume it's Thursday...

    Is this just dinner or will there be party-style gaming (Rock Band, Rayman's Raving Rabids, Just Dance, gaming trivia contest, etc.) available? Do the organizers need help w/ said gaming?
