We should at least all pitch in and get snacks - pretzels and chips and soda/adult beverages. Maybe we take up a collection and a group go to a store before the show
On the pizza - I guess it depends on if we all plan on dinner before hand or not. Seems like most people will be in around lunch time or shortly thereafter.
That works just fine! 
Yes, so my thinking is, they are showing all 3 hours, but are putting it on the schedule as a 1 & 2 hour block. By doing that they can split how they are charging for the advertising.
That works just fine !
I was thinking the same about snacks (had pizza on the brain last night cause I didn’t eat much for dinner). Beverages should prolly be BYO whatever you want to drink. Since I’ll be driving around Texas for the week before hand, I’m sure I’ll pick up a cheap cooler to drag around with me, so we can use that too.
On dinner plans for Friday, there are plenty of restaurants nearby:

The Down Under Pub & Grub and the Spring Creek BBQ caught my eye.
I’m thinking Chuck & crew may already have something in mind for the Friday dinner.
I like Raemani’s idea about drinks & snacks, but since it is in the banquet room at the hotel, something may already be being provided by hotel staff as part of the deal. We’ll need more details on everything on this!
adult beverages, beef likey…
and for the record, i can get behind pizza, or a pub, or whatever for friday
I think Chuck and crew are going to be busy setting up equipment for the podcast right after the show. So I doubt they will be planning a dinner outing that evening.
Chuck, what’s the plan for Friday pre-viewing and viewing?? Do we bring our own drinks/snacks? Do we need to bring you guys dinner too?! Do you need us to help you set up equipment? Can I be a bigger pain in the ass by asking more questions? Ok, ok, I know the answer to the last one!
Although I cannot be with all of you in body - my tub of goo is a sorry Barb to ship - I shall be present in spirit.
Despite the excellent planning that has gone into this endeavor, I think you have missed the boat for dinner on Friday. I write of course about of the wonders of algae - served with water (or scotch).
The possibilities for preparation are varied and delicious.Should the real thing not be available, I have found that Stouffer’s Spinach Souffle makes an excellent substitute. In any event, when the post meet up posts fly, I expect reports about the consomption of bright green sustenance and water (or scotch).
what about bourbon…will that be an ok exception to the scotch???
I really think there should be NO ALCOHOL during the finale watch or the aftershow live frak party podcast.
LOL, OK, who actually bought that line of craaap?
i had to re-read that statement a few times… i kinda thought u were serious
I suggest that any (manly) brown liquor should do. My only hope is that those, who imbibe, hold their alcohol better than the Old Man and Tigh AND do not fall asleep before the grand finale.
Me - I’m hoarding uppers.
Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to make it to this one. I’m very disappointed, but the only way I could swing it was with my free flight ticket & they don’t have any seats available to use it on. So, have fun everyone, I will be there in spirit!
Awwww…Aset. 
I’m bummed out for you. We’ll miss you there.
I heard that! Coffee, and lots of it, will be my gameplan for that evening. After midnight or so, though, all bets are off…
Coffee is my drink of choice. Since most of us will be traveling all day I think I will need the help. Ok maybe a Irish Coffee will even be better. I just have to be alert enough to walk to the room after all of the fun.
I will have a flask…it will have contents…the contents might remain a sekrit…
I will have Guinness…but I won’t be drinking any of it until after the 2 hour show. Don’t want to be missing anything due to screaming bladder.
I’ve just booked my ticket!!! I’m so excited!
