Gathering in the Garden State Banquet Sign up
This is the official sign up forum for the banquet at the Gathering in the Garden State. Note the changes.
After some serious pondering (and thinking about turning loose a bunch of people in the wilds of New Jersey after 3 hours of eating and drinking), arrangements have been made with the Sheraton to provide us with a BBQ with three hours of (free) beer, wine and soda (did I mention the beer, wine and soda will be free?). The dinner will take place in Sheraton's Illusions Night Club and their tented patio. The Sheraton Chef will grill outside for us, but the buffet will be inside. We will be seated in Illusions and our banquet will run from 6:00 pm right up until 9 pm, when the Sheraton 30+ singles night starts. Any of us staying in the hotel will be able to stay on without paying the cover charge. Anyone not staying at the hotel will be asked to pay the $13.00 cover fee. Now, I'm sure you're asking, "just what is all this wine (free, I might add) and beer (also free in case you hadn't noticed) and soda (yep, free also) going to cost me? The cost is a measly $45...(no bamboo steamer or Ginsu knives but you do get to hang out with a bunch of great people).
The most important part, the food:

I can't see what could be worth $50 with a buffet, but I guess I'm in. Wouldn't want to miss out on anything
