    I could be up for this - as I am boardgame teaching for the event I'll be at the convention centre learning new games most of Thursday afternoon - I should be able to get out for then :)

    If one has to work late and may not arrive at the dinner table at a reasonable time - could one still come for a casual drink and some pinning?

    Absolutely, I'm trying to work that out.
    If we book it at a restaurant we will need to leave after dinner. (Booooo)
    As a result I am going to see if we can get something similar to last year, (Where we could stay as long as we liked) and people can just order dinner off a menu when they want to. (So its not a everybody sits down and eats at the same time affair)

    However, I will make sure we have normal sized tables and is wheel and its pram accessible.
    I'll have a venue sorted hopefully by tomorrow.

    Not the worst idea if the weather is decent.

    Alright!
    I have been able to get a large group booking for Gasolina.
    Unlike last year we will not be on the large tall bench / bar side.
    We will be on the dinning/table side, so that should make it better for accessibility.

    For those who did not attend last year it's on the South Wharf Promenade (Called the PAX Promenade during PAX) and 2-3min walk from the Convention Center

    I will update the details in the opening post.

    Oh yay! Keen! I just finished putting together my new Pin Sash, as the 2014 Scarf I was using was getting a little bit to heavy and hot in the month of November ><

    The one who forgot to bring the Vegemite Chocolate PAXAus16 -.-'

    I was talking to my RL friends who are also attending PAX and they are interested in joining for dinner as well. Is there a PIN ONLY policy or can the non-converted join as well?

    Sounds to me like a good opportunity to subvert i mean convert them.

    @luckycharm I just extended the booking from 30 people to 40.
    But that was before I checked the forums.
    They seemed pretty cool about going to 40.
    Add them to the list! Just teach them the secret pinny hand shake first.

    **************** Super Update of Power ***********************
    If you have yet to put your name down, please do so now.
    I will confirm final number on Monday 31Oct.

    If you're not sure if you want to attend....well.... the venue is a restaurant on one side and bar on the other. You can always come along and watch us having an awesome time from the bar, while regretting not putting your name down! (hint: put your name down)

    Like, with table cloths and candles and shit?

  • Options
    QuestorQuestor PAX Aus Tabletop [E] Melbourne, AustraliaRegistered User regular
    Probably just the tablecloths and candles. The shit tends to put people off their food... ;)

    I WAS WRONG I didn't know I could go on the dinner list, I just picked the Enforcer option because I'm Enforcing. I sent you an email this morning so hopefully I can pick the coins up from you at the dinner? If not I'll go on a Cuzza adventure.

    Thanks everyone for attending dinner on Thursday.
    Apologies as I don't really think the food was as good as last year, but I hope everyone had a good time and even made a trade or two.

    Great photo and a fantastic dinner, hanging out with everyone way more important than food.
