Here's a heads up notice!
I submitted an online reservation request for about 40 people at 6pm on Friday, October 23. edit 10/05/09 --> changed to 5:30pm
I pushed it back to 6pm to give folks who wanted to pick up their badges on Friday & the folks going to the Star Trek exhibit at the Tech Museum a bit more time.
I suppose I could have had more initiative & called them to make the reservation & made sure we got the date for that many people, but this was easier & gives me more time to look over the menu choices...
Finally heard from The Meg.
2 seats are available in the minivan I'm renting. Let me know if you need/want a ride from the hotel.
First responses get the seats.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Psh, that's no excuse for taking so long to respond. That's what I'm doing and I still was able to respond to a PM Red sent me about the dinner in a timely fashion. Of course, someone did have to poke me and tell me I had a PM. Despite still reading the forums daily I never notice when I have a new one |

I followed up on my online reservation submission with a call today & found out their online reservation system doesn't always work...
The good news is that I was able to talk to someone & get a reservation made for 40 people! That's a few more than have made specific requests & my alt list.
We're booked for Friday, October 23, at 5:30pm. (Changed 10/05/09)
The coordinator will contact me about 48 hours before the event for a final head-count, so please let me know before then if you won't be able to make it.
Based on the input I received, this is what we'll be getting from the $27.95/person Supremo menu:
Fried Calamari
Apple Gorgonzola Salad (I figured it couldn't hurt to ask, so I did.)
Spaghetti w Meatballs
Lasagna
Chicken Parmigiana
Cheesecake
"Endless" soft drinks, coffee & tea
Seperate tabs for alcohol & extra dishes.
Ok, I think what's left is to figure out how we're getting there! I know TJ's got a number of confirmed rides & I think has a spot or two for more. I've committed to giving Ronnoc & BaconLordBob a ride & have space for 1 more. Anyone who's concerned about how they'll get there should speak up & we'll see what we can do about getting you a ride.
And that's all I could fit into my brain at this time. Anyone noticing anything important missing from the plan should feel free to point it out.

No prob Arwen! With so few people indicating preferences on the menu, it was technically the salad with the most votes, even if it wasn't on any of the banquet menus. And like I said, I figured the worst they could do is say no, so why not ask?

So Red, what's the latest scoop on the meal?
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

If anyone needs a ride: I'm renting a medium-ish sized car (well, that's what I remember...) on Thursday night, so I can probably give a ride to 2 or 3 people.
Thank you Red for organizing this all!!
This cannot come soon enough...I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again!

Thanks for the reminder TJ.|

I'll update the OP too if you want to direct folks there, but here's the latest:
Buca di Beppo will contact me 48 hours in advance of our event for the final headcount. So, if anyone's interested in joining us, you are more than welcome to do so!
In the other thread, I joked about it & made indirect mention about it, but I figure I ought to spell it out. The point of me organizing the "Justice" Dinner is for the companionship and camaraderie of fellow players. Not just for me, but for all of you as well. And that's why I don't want cost to be a consideration when you decide if you're going to join us or not. (And I'm pleased to saythat I'm not the only one!)
The primary question in your mind should be "Do I want to spend time schmoozing around with those nut-jobs from Justice?" If the answer's yes, then let me know somehow so I can make sure there's a seat set aside for you!
In deference to those who need to know what their fair-share of the cost will be, the Supremo menu which we used as the basis for our Friday feast runs $27.95/person not including tax or tip. I provide this information only for the purposes of easing the minds of those that NEED to know. While it might be a perfectly Justice thing to do, to drive you nuts by withholding the information, I feel that it's not worth it if it hampers your ability to enjoy the festivities or worse yet, keeps you away.
The other stuff you'll need to know:
Where: Buca di Beppo Campbell
1875 South Bascom Ave
Campbell, CA 95008
When: 5:30pm Friday, Oct 23 (changed 10/05/09)
Menu:
Fried Calamari
Apple Gorgonzola Salad
Spaghetti & Meatballs
Lasagna
Chicken Parmigiana
Cheesecake
"Endless" soft drinks, coffee, & tea

We're having cheesecake and not tiramisu? I mean, I like cheesecake and all, but Buca's tiramisu is a work of art. 
Thanks again for all your work on this Red!

I don't think I represented it, but when counting up the final tally, I also included negative votes, so cheese cake won because negative votes pushed it to the front.|

The menu's not written in stone. It's based off what those who had preferences indicated at the cut-off time that I had set. Some of these items were included because 1 vote beats 0 votes. Obviously not true with regard to desserts, but the point is, stating a preference beats out silence & indifference.
I certainly can't wait to see everyone again!
Just don't tell the Protectorites I escaped the asylum.
Oh snap, Liz is comin too? I need to get my gameface on then!
I owe her a bunch of noogies for the Bizzaroland series lol. I can't wait to see everyone again and thanks Red for putting this all together. I'm glad i had ya add me to the final list because as it turns out i can now make this.
Menu looks good too and cheesecake? YUM!!!!!
Ok. The Texas Justice-mobile is full. If you need a ride, you'll need to contact one of our other attendees who will have wheels.
The last 2 seats went to syrusb and the +1.
So, that makes it a full minivan.

That sounds like a good menu. If I could make one request: Could they put the meatballs for the spaghetti and meatballs in a separate dish so the vegetarians can eat the spaghetti and marinara? (And, hey, that's greater meatball-to-pasta ratio for meat eaters!)
Also, given that we just found out that the evening events are starting at 7:30, would it be prudent to maybe bump this up a little earlier? I don't want dinner to feel rushed.
Thanks again, Red, for setting this up. I can't wait to see all you guys again!
EDIT: One more question... Anyone coming to this that's also interested in the Star Trek exhibit who will also have a car? If so, PM me, because I'd love to get rides from you to both of them (I'll kick in some money for helping me out and for gas and such).

I agree that it should be bumped up a little bit, just to give us all time to eat and chat before heading back for board games.

I'm definitely interested in this, since I regret missing the dinner from last year. However, I'm pretty sure I'm going to need transportation if I do indeed come. If anyone has room in their car for me, I'd definitely like to come.

Ok. Phantom finally got back to me, so that just leaves The Meg as not having responded.
At this point, I feel safe in saying I'll have 2 spots available for riders, so let me know if you want to reserve a seat in the TJ minivan for the trip to the meal (and back).
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
