So uh... When do you eat???

This might be a dopey question but ...

I've been going over all the cool events for each day, trying to pick and I noticed something. Most of the event times seem to pretty much run right into each other! There are various morning events slotted for 8 - 1, then afternoon events running 1 - 6 and then evening events that run 6 - 11.

I am all for playing D&D / Pathfinder all day but ... when the heck do you break to eat???

Yes, I know the banquet is Sat evening - luckily we have tickets for that'

Thanks!

chances are you may still have some one or two hour gaps in your schedule ...after all only the limited capacity stuff is listed so far. But you can (and probably should) bring water with you to the events and games, maybe a snack to tide you over as well.

Or you can always go with the old faithful cell phone + pizza hut + credit card = food in 45 minutes ;-)


Eat? Gamers don't need to eat when they're gaming...bring junk food! Seriously, though, there's a place at the hotel itself and a Dennys (if you can stomach it) nextdoor. If you want something more wholesome, there's a Whole Foods (or similar, I forget) across the street. There are a few other choices with a few minutes more walking or driving.

We had great luck running over to the Whole Foods across the street and grabbing food. Work out a deal with a few other people to make food runs or just buy a stash and bring snacks and beverages to the table. They have a good selection of pizzas, sandwiches, and stuff like that.


Slots are:

Friday
12-5
6-11

Saturday
8-1
1-6
Banquet 7-12

Sunday
8-1

If you're playing from 8-1 on Saturday and run right into your game at 1-6, yeah, eating could be a challenge. Other than that, the schedule is pretty open. :-)

Yeah I was wondering about food too. Guess I'll be packing a lot of sandwiches, fruit, peanuts, and other assorted junk, which is what I usually bite on during my usual weekly games anyways.

It can be a challenge, true. Packing energy bars and powerades worked for me on my back-to-back-to-back game sessions one day.

As was mentioned above, there are several options nearby....
Whole Foods, Denny's, food from the hotel, Burger King, the Pumphouse, 3 Pigs BBQ, Thai Noodle Bar, Hunan Garden...all within walking distance if you have that hour break in between.


Minions are great. :)

Granola bars, raisins, and other healthy snack foods are a good addition to your backpack.

The Exchange

Broccoli, Cabbage, Chilis, Pinto Beans, etc.

I don't mean to toot my horn, but that is the stuff that makes you real popular at conventions like these.
