    So, one staple of GaryCon has been the thursday night gathering at The Next Door Pub.

    Is that going to be wednesday or thursday this year?

    Thursday night, per usual. It is set to start at 5 pm.

    But, the official times will be released in the coming months.

    Awesome! Thursday night at the Pub followed by some informal pick-up games back at the Lodge was a great evening, maybe my favorite of the con last year.

    This sounds great. Typically I've arrived on Friday morning or late Thursday night. This year I'm aiming for early Thursday morning.

    Cheers,

    Great Jeff! With open gaming on Thursday, we will have to be ready Wednesday. So no chance of working through the NDP pre-party for the Gary Con staffers this year!

    I understand. You want to avoid me, because you know I will have to reveal to you the terrible truth regarding the suckiness of your Bears! ;)

    By chance, has anyone called "The Pub" to request they put on an additional dinning room? :lol: :D

    Hello all from Lake Geneva,
    I talked to Chad (owner of next door pub) They love having us most of the employees are gamers too.For Elise' and I to reserve more dinning space we need a exact count and start and end time and rental cost for closing the resturant for private party-***They do not take reservations ***They are the busiest resturant in LG.
    Or we will still have the back room only rented and have guest stop by when ever Thursday night.
    Any input???

    My thought was to reserve the back room from 4 PM to 9 PM. We will buy some pizzas to get the party started. I think it will be difficult to get an exact count of people and try to work out a system to buy their meals in advance.

    With that said, it is good to have an estimate to warn the Next Door Pub that they will see an increased demand on Thursday night. So feel free to post up if you are coming.

    Is there a fire code/practicality limit on back room capacity?

    With Thursday being an official Con day, this could get quite large.

    Excellent point mordrin. We may have to issue tickets or somehow control the amount of people. I don't think it holds more than 50-75 people. We will have to do some research and put out some info for all of you.

    Here is my plan for thursday, get up, eat, go game. Eat lunch, then game. Go get pizza and beer, then go back to the hotel, game and drink more beer.

    Plenty of time for both on thursday.
