The Pre-PAX 2018 Start of Term Feast - See y'all on the 30th!

TOGSolid

Due to a lack of sales I had to cancel the event. But, BUT! You cannot keep a Slytherin down so I am gonna try and organize something smaller for anyone that wants to go. First things first is I need to figure out how many people wanna go so I can try and find something. I'll only have this up for a few days because I'll need to start calling around to see who can accommodate us. I'll probably close signups on Thursday since that's the first day I have available to get cracking on finding a place. This is non-negotiable too. When I start calling around I need an exact guest count so I can't sneak people in after the fact so sign up now if you wanna get noms with us!

I'm just using a quick and dirty google sheet so I can get this rolling.

See those on the list on the 30th at Stout!

You could be a house elf! I think there are still one or two open.

anifirebird

I read about it, but honestly no one should trust me for anything let alone other people.


I'll probably do the dinner and then see if anything else is going on.

@anifirebird

There's a boardgame meetup at the Sheraton the same night, though this year they're having to work with a whole new event coordinator who apparently didn't get the memo the boardgame night is a yearly thing so this year's is TBD. Still, worth keeping an eye on. https://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/220870/pre-pax-boardgame-night-at-the-sheraton#latest

anifirebird

Yeap! That's probably what I will be doing!

NotoriusBEN

got a ticket as well. see you at the barca, @TOGSolid

TOGSolid

Only a little longer left to get tickets! Get yours now while you can!

anifirebird

Apparently this has been CANCELLED and I am pretty sad! Now I have nothing on Thursday OR Friday at the moment since even the Pre Pax Board game night hasn't been finalized either.

Anyone wanna meet up to eat dinner and talk Harry Potter anyway?

Are there any upscale type buffets? XD Maybe a Brazilian steakhouse? Something that feels "feasty"?


Sorry to the coordinator, that blows. I was *really* excited about this!

I’m sad as well, this was my Thursday night todo. I think @TOGSolid is still gonna try to get a group together, my +1 and I are still open to meeting up.

NotoriusBEN

same here. tell me where to go and ill show up.

rorshack6

where was the cancellation announced, out of curiosity?

TOGSolid

Will update this tomorrow when I'm not relying on cell service in Canada!

Hazards of boat life ;_;

rorshack6

Much appreciated, good sir

anifirebird

It was in my Update folder in Gmail.

nixter

I'm in for getting together as well!

Pavio

I would likely be in for something smaller too if there's a plan for that. My group all bailed this year at the last minute so I'm looking at doing things like this.

TOGSolid

Hokay!

So, yeah, due to a lack of sales I had to cancel the event. BUT I am gonna try and organize something smaller for anyone that wants to go. First things first is I need to figure out how many people wanna go so I can try and find something. I'll only have this up for a few days because I'll need to start calling around to see who can accommodate us.

I sent a mass email out to all ticket holders via the Eventbrite admin tools. These forums don't play nicely on my phone so I had to wait until I was back in US waters so I could tether my phone up without getting wrecked by roaming charges to post here.

Head’s up: PA may be running interference with the hotel on behalf of game night so it’s not dead yet.

I usually go out for a late-late night dinner afterward, around 11 or midnight, usually at Green Leaf. It’s vintage 70’s era Hanoi-style dive bar with quite good Vietnamese food and a full bar with stiff drinks. Also it’s a popular late night industry hangout for bartenders and cooks. If anybody wants to hook up for that, I’m down.

anifirebird

I would like to eat dinner then do game night, then MAYBE have dessert later.

TOGSolid

Reminder: Signups close tomorrow morning!

We have 21 people so far so should be a fun dinner!

anifirebird

Has a place been decided on?

anifirebird

I read the OP. Might look up some places and post some options. I guess it should be comparable? $30ish for an entire meal per person.

NotoriusBEN

din tai fung pacific place. asian food $$
palomino italian $$
loulay kitchen and bar french $$
blueacre seafood sushi and cooked seafood $$$

for starters.

NotoriusBEN

there was an excellent pho restaurant around the same area, but it looks like they closed shop in the last 2-3years

TOGSolid

We got a group of 25 total!

Since this is all just me flying by the seat of my pants and I wanted to make everyone could have something they'd eat I just went with the easy option of Stout. It being right in TWDT territory and them openly advertising that they can take groups of 25 made them a good pick, I feel.

NotoriusBEN

here's pics from yelp so you can see what they offer:
