Kristen and Drew, I made the reservation for Friday Nov. 4 at 9:45 (the only seating available). Given the late hour we might want to show up a couple of hours earlier and see if we can get into the stage show for the 8pm seating; or not, if you guys are more inclined to night owlishness—either way is fine by me. There are supposed to be smaller acts going on throughout the evening.
Here's what the Magic Castle sent me regarding dress code:
EVENING DRESS CODE
Gentlemen must wear a coat and tie, dress pants and dress shoes.
Women may to choose to wear a dress or blouse and skirt. A pant suit is acceptable as long as it is accompanied with a blazer.
Military dress (no fatigues), ethnic, and/or religious attire is welcome.
Unacceptable Attire for Evening Visits
No denim, zippered jackets, polo shirts, T-shirts, shorts, sandals, flip flops, sneakers, leggings (unless worn with a skirt or dress), capri or cut-off pants, or skorts.
Matt, were you able to make the reservation including us, or do we need to reach out to our contacts? We will definitely be there early. We have a friend visiting from out of state; any chance we can include her? Regardless, we'd prefer earlier to later. I'm on my school hours.
Let us know what we owe you. Yay!
Sure, I actually made the reservation for 4 in case someone else wanted to join in after the fact so we have a spare seat for her. Nothing owed so far as I know, I think we each pay a $30 cover at the door. The club opens at 5pm, so we can go however much earlier you guys would like and plan on getting all the show viewing done before eating.
Thanks to the gentle reminder (aka cluesticking from an anonymous friend), it has been pointed out that I should tell people when I am in town.
New York! I'm in town this Friday at NYCC at noon, then Books of Wonder at 6pm, and I'm not sure what in between. If you're around, hit my addy.
Boston! this Sunday! Pandemonium Books - 4pm. And available hopefully a bit before/after. I'm there for a reading and also to show off a very shiny thing that Raq made... More info soon. Please hit me up in email.

Why aren't your MD appearances on my calendar, Sox? If it ever stops raining in Poland I will get Cloudbound a picture with the fire breathing dragon.
Assuming no work conflicts, I could easily get to both MD events. Yay!
