Quote:7:00 â Meeting opening, quick outline: Events, drinks, why donât we have more people in mumble?
7:01 â Holly & Claire are gigantic FF nerds and intend to attend the Uematsu concert.
7:02 â People need to bring booze, especially: Local specials from outside of IL, âSam-adams or aboveâ in quality. Mixers eg ginger ale, red bull, fruit juices, Zaneyardâs sweat. Donât buy shitty beer that no one will drink, even bringing cups will be more valuable than that.
7:05 â The callouts for people & alcohol need to be posted to the forums. Ideally people should post what theyâre bringing so we donât end up with 5 handles of vodka and one thing of juice.
7:06 â Our room is smaller than the presidential suite we had last year. Â Confirmed Cabana suite.
7:07 â We need to have the room adjacent to the party suite, due to the smaller size. 36 people so farâ¦
7:08 â Only the cabana suite this year plus a bunch of doubles
7:09 â Stealth release was gay
7:11 â For ACEN 2015: We need to constantly check the sites/twitter/FB page so we donât get fucked again.
7:12 â Also for room party: Food!
7:13 â Fund currently has no confirmed applicants. Still looking for pledges âin caseâ.
7:14 â Callout, whatever. Nothing important.
7:18 â Arrival times are worth collecting. Caff at 11am, at0m + convoy at 4pm, eightball + co at 8pm.
7:19 â Barcade run at 5:30 on Thursday. Emporium again
7:20 â Some stuff about room assignments, nothing important. Caff/TronPaul havenât gotten their badges yet for some reason.
7:23 â Caff and Serain have a table and may need a sub for an hour or two at some point. I havenât been paying attention lol.
7:25 â Friday dinner at Bella Bacinoâs. Need formal RSVPs at this point (around 18 Iâm expecting)
7:27 â Make a booze list. Mixer list.
7:28 â Archer cosplay lives! Tronpaul/Eightball/Pie
7:29 â Generic has something important regarding battletech? Got coupons or some shit. 15 of them!
7:30 â EvilCheese is interested in going to a comedy/improv group Second City, perhaps after the Chicago trip. Itâs near North/Clybourn? No, Sedgwick off the brown line. Lol, brown line. Wait, no itâs actually Clark & Division. Thereâs some transfer or some shit, look it up later. Thursday is sold out
7:34 â Invitees to the party: Less space this year so maybe fewer invitees? Requirements: 21+, they need to know you by name.
7:36 â All BRBUers are now 21+! Operation archangel/overwatch/shoveeveryoneintothesideroom. DO NOT PROP THE DOOR OPEN. NO 420 IN THE ROOMS. DONâT DO ANYTHING TO SHAFT YOUR ROOM LEADERS.
7:39 â Most doubles are $188 per night (TOH), maybe $178 per night (TronPaul & Eightball)
7:42 â Sunday is a run-down day, buy your anime shit on that day.
