It’s time to reveal the details of this year’s kick-off party. We’re trying a new venue that we’re hoping will work well for budget and transit considerations.
- Location: The Old Spaghetti Factory in New Westminster (link goes to the map). It is right by the New Westminster skytrain station.
- Time & Date: Saturday, October 31st, starting at 1:00 pm. We figured this would be early enough so that people could still make it back in time for Hallowe’en plans
PLEASE RSVP BY OCTOBER 29TH! So I can let the fine folks at the Spaghetti Factory know our final numbers and they can be all set up for us. I’ve tentatively set up the reservation for 40 ppl and they are ok with a group that size. If there’s even greater interest, we’ll have to see what their maximum capacity is. I’ve revised the reservation up to 60 to 65 and confirmed that they’ve handled groups even larger than that, so keep the RSVPs coming until Thursday!
The menu is pretty reasonably priced and you do get a pretty good amount of food for your money. (Link goes to .pdf file). I’ve already discussed it with them and they have no problem doing individual bills for a group that large and won’t be calculating minimum tips or anything like that. Even with the reasonable prices, I know that there might still be a few people who are on a really tight budget and don’t want to have to buy a meal out. If this describes you but you still really are dying to come and join in all the fun (and really, who isn’t?), then send me an email or tweet, and I’ll see what we can do to accommodate you.
If you want to come along AND invite a friend/parent/sibling, etc. that’s totally ok, just please let us know the numbers in advance. Also, just to let you know, we’re preparing goodie bags for NaNoWriMo participants. Guests of participants can come and enjoy the fun, but won’t be getting a goodie bag.
I think that covers all the major points. If you have questions, please feel free to ask! Hope to see lots of you there!
[Edit: I'm sensing some server slowness so I'm backing up the RSVP list here. If possible, RSVP at the forums, but if they happen to be down, you can email or leave a comment here with your response as well RSVP list has been finalized.]
