I’m really happy you all are coming! However, our happy hour group has grown (to just over 70 at this point!) and our room might get a little snug. I’m going to throw caution to the wind and invite the late registrants too, but I just want to let you all know that, while we’ll gather for beer and appetizers in our separate room, some might want to spread out into the main part of the restaurant or bar as well.
I’ll reserve some booths or tables near our room but in the main restaurant area where team members or other groups of friends can gather for more appetizers or dinner. I’ll also set a time, maybe 7 pm, when we will award the gold nuggets and make any other announcements so that all won’t feel like they have to stay in the separate room if it gets too crowded. Please be super nice and try to help our wait staff as they work hard to keep track of all of us. They’re very good to us there.
BTW, we have a nice big side area at the back of our room that’s perfect for backpacks, panniers, jackets etc., so that should make things a little easier. I’ll post a few more details on Thursday. It should be a fun evening!
