City Museum Friday 7:15 pm

Posted by Naamit, this is a player-organized outing.

There will be a troupe of people going to the City Museum on Friday night as well. 7:15pm meeting time at the lobby to coordinate rides, carpool, catch ubers, etc.

At last count (on the Facebook MAH Gemstoners group) there were 9 people interested in going and 3 cars among them. If more than 5 extra people are interested, we'll need to order tickets online -- else try to filter in casually so as not to rouse suspicion ;).

I'll meet you all AT THE MUSEUM at 8pm (gotta pick up a friend from the airport).

Buy tickets in advance: https://www.citymuseum.org/visit/hours-and-admission/ last week they sold out before Fri night.

Notes

The rooms open at around 3PM on Wednesday, Aug 2. We are in ALPINE I & ALPINE II this year! NOT DAVOS!

If you like to help, I will be doing our first Costco/shopping run, and then we will set up the tables in the room. If you need ANYTHING for this night, you gotta let me know before I leave for shopping.

Snack/Coffee Tables I will be setting up a small "breakfast" table on Thursday, Friday and Saturday mornings this year. This will be a selection of pastries, bagels (w/ cream cheese), fruit, coffee, teas, orange juice, whole milk, 2% milk and soy milk, as well as creamer & assorted sweeteners - sugar, Splenda, Equal and honey. If you want any other special kinds of sweetener, milk, juice, etc...I can buy for the whole class if it's a reasonable request, or you can bring your own. Hopefully this will be set up every morning by 8am, but YMMV.

Masquerade Please see Palvella's post on this and RSVP to her ASAP if you want to participate. There will be a selection of party trays for snacking during the event, but no formal dinner.

Roundtables I have set up two Roundtables for GS4 on Friday afternoon. IF you guys end up doing an outing on Friday, I can re-arrange these to a different time, but you need to let me know ASAP, please! DR's roundtables are TBA/TBD.

Games Munchkins will be run by Mestys again this year, while Catan will be run by Zythica. Both games will have prizes for winning the tournament. We will also be doing a Freeroll Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament run by Kveta on Saturday afternoon. Freeroll means there will be no buy-in - you will get chips and there will be a timer increasing the blinds every so often until we have 3 players left. Again, there will be PRIZES for winning!

Saturday Dinner We are pretty much confirmed (knocks on wood) for a catered BBQ dinner on Saturday night. The meat options will include chicken, pork, and beef. There will also be your standard BBQ sides - baked beans, potato salad, cole slaw, cream corn, seasoned vegetables, as well as tossed salad and bread. We may additionally have party trays with fruit, raw vegetables, cheese, shrimp, etc.

IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS I'm willing to accommodate this (as long as you actually purchased a Con perk). For example, if you are a vegetarian, I'm trying to arrange some vegetarian meals so you aren't just picking at the side dishes, but I need to know this info at least when you check-in to Con. The sooner the better, so please e-mail me at GS4-Zythica@play.net.

Live Auctions All games will have their Live Auctions at the same time, but we're going to be splitting it up between games by herding everyone off into separate areas. GS4 Platinum will not be competing with GS4 Prime and will have a different auction list. NO COLLUSION!!!!!

Alchemy/Drink Contest This will be in place of the costume contest this year, but you can still wear a costume. Please see this post for more info: http://forums.play.net/forums/SimuCon/SimuCon%20'17/General%20Discussions/view/150

Bristol Brunch We are NOT doing Lemp Mansion this year after all. Instead, we are going to be having a brunch at Bristol Seafood Grill, which is located close to the hotel. (Even though this is a seafood place, it will be your standard brunch buffet). The hotel will be able to shuttle about 14 people, the rest will need to carpool (which I figure will work out as some may need to leave early). The shuttle will be leaving the hotel at 10:40am; our brunch reservation is at 11am, and the shuttle will be departing Bristol at 1pm to return to the hotel.

The cost for the meal is $30/person, but WILL NOT INCLUDE ALCOHOL. You will need to open a separate tab to order alcohol, which we may do for mimosas anyway. I will need you to let me know if you want to come by Saturday morning. Please e-mail me GS4-Zythica@play.net if you are definitely coming, and there will be a sign-up sheet located at Con. It is very important that we get a headcount beforehand.

Here is menu of Bristol's brunch buffet in case you'd like to check it beforehand: http://bit.ly/2uDp30J

Con Closing The rooms will technically be closed at 3pm on Sunday, but we usually start cleaning up beforehand. If you're a person who drove your own car to Con, you may want to wait until we do cleanup, as this is the point where we start giving away any leftover alcohol, snacks, etc. You can really score big if you stay to help us clean up!!
