Is anyone interested in going for drinks at Clubhouse Cafe right across the street beforehand?

I am.

interested.       sorry i missed the fun the last couple days.. been in transit.    anyway, i think for most people their LM bill will come out more than $50... a couple drinks, maybe an appetizer or something.   regardless, it's definitely cheaper than PG, and much cheaper than solo.  solo has a great private area for big groups, but unless you're really getting a great deal there it's prob out of most people's price range.                             as much as i think LM deserves $1000 of one dollar coins, like mikeoracle, i don't think i could live with that  (now 5 years ago might have been a different story)  :)

I am not the "party pooper" type but isnt it possibly bordering on c"h if a group of frum guys try to pull something like this?
Just sayin....

Sounds good to me.

In my experience those kinds of meals rarely end up being as cheap as they sound like they should.  A good steak at Le Marais with salad and a side is under $20 if someone wants that, while that kind of meal will likely end up more than that for worse food/ambiance.
True but as yare said:
i think for most people their LM bill will come out more than $50... a couple drinks, maybe an appetizer or something.   
while somebody could get away with spending $25, I think $50+ is more realistic.

+1. But you know how good we are here when it comes to posting pictures. ;D
I think the response is going to be, that if you want to see, you need to come. :(

So how do we penalize those who don't pay by Monday? Publish their names, charge them a late fee (nominal $0.10 daily) or both? :P

When people are drunk they tend to spend more money. Maybe the deadline should be Sunday night?

Meh, I say lock 'em out if they have been active on the forum (got the PM) and don't attempt to make payment arrangements by the deadline.  I wouldn't be opposed to a more intimate DO...

Maybe I'll even make a public mileage seminar or Q&A session and charge $5/person to pay for the remainder of my expenses?

Where would I be able to pull off something like that though without paying $$$ for a room?
