    Two tickets bought, me and LewieP's Daddy will be coming!!!

    I may have bought 4 tickets by mistake, I'm not sure :0 I don't think I have, cos when I tried to check out the first time, I couldn't, but then the ticket availability had dropped by 2 when I did it again. I only got one email though, so I think I'm OK :)

    @TOGSolid can double check that for you, but I'm guessing you're ok if you only got the one e-mail.

    I just got an email back from Barca, we WILL have a bartender up on the mezzanine serving water and soda again this year.

  • vespachicavespachica SeattleRegistered User regular
    Please don't tell me the bartender is only serving water and soda. ;) (or does that mean those are the drinks included free in the cost of the dinner ticket?)

    MUAHAHA, ONLY GENERIC SAFEWAY SODA SHALL BE SERVED AT THIS EVENT! MY EVIL PLAN IS REVEALED!

    I kid, I kid. :lol:

    Nah, it just means that if you just want a coke you don't need to go downstairs to the bar to go get it. Keeps the traffic flow manageable. He didn't mention any cost to the patrons but I'll double check just to be sure. I'll probably cover it myself if need be.

    So does this mean that the whole thing is upstairs? Is there a lift please ? Or is it upstairs and downstairs? (I avoid stairs as much as I can, they hurt!)

    This is a good question. Last year at this same venue it was upstairs only as far as I know, and I don't think they had an elevator. Not sure if both of those things are the same for this year or not.

    @LewieP's Mummy @Zerzhul
    The food was upstairs in the back corner but both upstairs and downstairs were open for seating (I was downstairs last year eating with Red Halo and some other fine Slytherin gents). Both upstairs and downstairs will be available for seating. There is no lift, but if we can't get the food set up downstairs then I will figure out something out. I'll get your food for you if it comes down to it.

    In the year 2010X, a battle was fought. A battle of courage, conviction, and hardened steel. The brave warriors of the Hai Shi Dao fought a bloody campaign against the Pacific Rim Forces and while many lives were lost, we of the Hai Shi Dao emerged victorious. We fought for freedom, we fought for honour, and we fought for free soda for all humans.

    Here, in the year 2012X, I am proud to announce that that our campaign was not all in vain! Here, at the Pre-PAX Dinner, our final promise will bear fruit! Here, at the Pre-PAX Dinner we will have FREE SODA FOR ALL HUMANS!

    Never forget the many young soldiers that fell to bring you your freedom* and carbonated beverages!

    Hooray for free soda!

    That said, alcoholic beverages should be consumed greatly (but responsibly!).

    @TogSolid, @Saldek

    When we scouted Barca, we specifically asked Dan to make sure that there was seating downstairs and upstairs this year. Last year there was one table downstairs for people who couldn't make the stairs, which kind of sucked for them all by themselves. Hopefully this year's plan didn't get lost in the shuffle. There's certainly enough room to put seating on both levels.

    Happily on Sabbatical. Don't bug me.

    Pretty sure there are a bunch of bar tables, the bar counter and a few booths. >.>

    EDIT EDIT: Oooh, I see a corner we might be able to stick the food in downstairs.

    I showed the husband that link with the images and told him, Imagine this place filled completely with gamers/geeks/nerds! His response, YAY! We can make friends!

    I am so very excited about this =)
