Age requirements: 21+, no exceptions

Myself and another member of the Columbia Tower Club have started a monthly nerd night (tabletop only; we haven't convinced them to grant us use of the 103" plasma for video games just yet :P) at the club. Our first one was last month, and was a raging success, so we want to keep this going. Headcount for these events is currently somewhat limited, as each sponsoring member is only allowed to bring X non-members into the club at a given time, and right now it's just the 2 of us. Each CTC member that becomes a sponsor of the Nerd Night expands the amount of people we can bring up by 15. We're hoping to double our capacity for next month after this evening, as a couple more will be attending to see what it's about....we shall see.
The only requirements are A) you bring a game to share,
you follow the club's dress/behaviour code (it is a private club and any issues caused will come down on those of us sponsoring the events and potentially kill the events going forward, after all), C) you follow Wheaton's Law and D) you SHOW UP. Since RSVP's are limited, if you say you'll be there and don't show, you've taken a spot away from someone else who wanted to go. See also: C. If you RSVP and no-show, you lose future privileges to attend. The events are free to attend (my co-host and I front those costs in the form of our membership dues), and you do have access to food and drink from the bar/restaurant on the 75th floor during the event.
Anyhow, for tonight's event we have 3 spots we've left open on a floating basis. If you'd like one of them, send me a message with your email and I'll send you an invite. Would be nice to get to know some of the forum crowd, and it proves a good networking opportunity. All of us are game geeks, obviously, and most of us are connected professionals, so expansion of network and power is a good thing.

Denied! :P
Anyhow, we were down to 2 openings, and we're back up to 3 as one person has come down with a post-5K Pox.
I'll stop being off topic now, but I'm not wrong.
2 spots left (again after going from 3>2>3)
Also, be on the lookout for an organized pre-PAX charity gaming event that will be posted up in the next day or 2. Just finalizing some details and getting the page set up. It's gonna be pretty spectacular.
Service at the Columbia Tower Club was an improvement over the two previous events I attended, as well. Good to see this group is becoming a fixture there, I hope this continues for the foreseeable future.
