Table side food service at new venue?

Does anyone know of the Grand Geneva will offer table side food service while we game like Geneva Ridge did?

 

It's kind of something they would like us to do.

It will help Luke and the gang with venue negotiations next year if we meet whatever goal is in the contract. At least, if we really beat it then hopefully Luke and the gang will have some leverage for next year's contract.

 

So is that a yes?

 

They have said in the past that there will be tableside service. We need to make sure to use this feature, as the contract requires a certain amount of utilization. If we do not use the service enough it will cost the convention extra money and may prevent it from being offered in the future, IIRC.

 

With the change to more structured time slots, I think many people will have back-t0-back games, so I think many of us will be relying on tableside service and/or delivery. I believe I'll be in several games that span meal times and, with the bigger venue, I don't think I'll have time to stop (and wait) for food.

 

Does anyone know how far the closest market or convenience store is from the site? I have a couple of 16 hour days and plan to stock up on a few Red Bulls....

 

There's a Wal-Mart Supercenter at the east end of town at Highway 12 and Main Street (50). There's another supermarket not too far just west of the Grand Geneva (I don't remember exactly where, but it's not terribly far). There's also several gas stations near the same area which will sell Red Bull at a slightly inflated price.

 

Cheers! It's my first time to Lake Geneva, so I have no clue about the local area. That helps a bunch. I'm sure I can purchase meals and snacks at the hotel, but these kinds of places dont often have the super big cans of RB that my travel worn body craves!

 

I think the grocery store JediSoth is referring to is the Piggly Wiggly. There are also eateries that will deliver out there. It's good to know about the food service being provided as it's awesome to be able to get food brought to your gaming table.

 

I arrive on Wednesday evening about 8pm, so my plan is to call a cab if necessary and load up on RB and some treats I cant get in Moscow.

 

Yeah, the Piggly Wiggly. I couldn't remember if that chain went as far north as Wisconsin, or if I was thinking of a different trip I went on. It's a pretty nice store; I'd go there before going to Wal-Mart, but that's because I have a thing about Wal-Mart, frankly.

 

Stuck in that limbo where you want to make a joke about Piggly Wiggly but don't know the person well enough to make it.

 

I do love the Piggly!

 

i am sure someone will give you a ride if you ask.

he

 

Cheers! I hadnt realized how many people were showing up on Wednesday as well

 

Don't you worry, you're not alone in any of this.

 

Maybe we can get a carpool going to the shop to pick up supplies and stuff

 

It's not unheard of!
