Pre-PAX Pig Roast

edited February 2013 in PAX East
Hi all, the Pre-PAX pig roast is back! Last year was a huge hit and once again, there will be pig!

Quick hit summary:
What : Family Style Pig Roast - Appetizers and dinner!
Date : Wednesday, March 20th, 2012 @ 6:30pm
Where : Citizen Public House (Fenway area)
Cost : $50 (Covers the cost of dinner+tax+tip. Drinks are separate, more details below)
Website : http://www.citizenpub.com/pig-roast/

There's only a limited number of spaces available, 20 to be exact. Spots are first come first served (meaning that first people to reply to this post are in). You may invite a single +1 but only +1. This is to make sure that more forumers can enjoy the pig!

If you have any dietary restrictions, PLEASE PLEASE let me know in advance so I can inform the restaurant.

Interest list:
[PAID] Trinistand
[PAID] Khadour + 1
[PAID] gigabrain

Payment details : Payment due by Thursday, February 28th. If I haven't received payment (or notification payment is on it's way), I'll be going to the waitlist. You'll have 3 options : Paypal, check, or giving me cash either in person or through a proxy. PM me for details.

More info!
- I have to give a headcount to the restaurant way in advance, March 6th in fact.
- This means that the # people is finalized and that I'll need to be paid. Sorry, no way around this...if I give the restaurant the headcount and X people no-show, I end up footing the bill.
- The $50 cost (I know it's expensive, but it's whole suckling pigs!) only covers what's listed on the website : the appetizers, mains, and sides that THEY bring out. If you order anything else, including drinks (and probably dessert), that's extra. The best way to manage this is probably to open your own tab at the restaurant.
- Vegetarian options are available - The restaurant will make sure (as part of the pig roast) that there are vegetarian appetizers, entrees, and sides. Please let me know in advance so I can tell the restaurant.
- I checked with the restaurant and folks of all ages are welcome
- IMPORTANT : Please let me know if you have any allergies to things such as shellfish! The night wouldn't be so fun if someone has to be rushed to the hospital!
- This is a separate event from the Pre-PAX dinner. Come to both! :)

    Happily on Sabbatical. Don't bug me.

    It's a blast, and incredibly delicious. They treated us really well at Citizen and I've organized a couple more since. Glad you'll be able to make it!

  • judzillahjudzillah Registered User new member
    As much as I'd like to attend, given the interest here I'll cede my spot on the waitlist. I can vouch that this is a great time and the pig is delicious. The brain is pretty tasty, but I think the eyeballs were my favorite part.

    I'll take a wait list spot, though that's probably a lost cause at this point. :P

    Can we get 40 people and 2 pigs? :lol:

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    I think they only do one pig per night, sadly, if I'm remembering correctly.

    Wait ... you didn't put me on this list by default? :(

    Sorry Arson :( I did give fair warning!

    Yes, only one pig per night. The restaurant has a special section set aside for pig roasts which sits 20. The rest of the restaurant is for normal dinner service. Now, if enough people get on the waitlist I'll call the restaurant again to see if it would be possible for additional space to become available. They couldn't do this previously (understandable) but I'm not sure if they'll make an exception for an exceptionally large crowd.

    If enough are you are around town Tuesday night as well, maybe another one can be arranged (I'll have someone else running point on that one though, two days of pig feasting is bound to cause me to die...which I'd prefer not to do).
