Quoted from goatdan:No. There is a reason Jersey Mike's and the hotel food is in the room inside that it is.
Mr. Soda Pop can be outside because the food is bottled and in no way prepared. Any preparation, to be not within the confines of the building... *sigh*
Without going into a long diatribe here, there was a like five year plan with the show that included a second tent where we could do stuff at night like concerts using some retro acts that could also double as like a food festival tent, but due to permitting / weird Wisconsin laws, it's not an option. We are looking into other ways to grow, but nothing is simple.
And, just because I need to say it every time, we did talk with the two larger locations. If you're cool with someone that doesn't know pinball machines needing to set up your machine for you and not being able to change what you say you are bringing three months in advance, then we would have an option. I don't trust their guys though over the people who actually own the machines... And that is just one issue of many.
Convention organization is interesting.
Did you say Mr. Soda Pop will be there?
Sweet!
