hellglass I'm leaning toward spooky hotel room, but solving mysteries sounds good too.

It's my bday tomorrow, so Saturday is the Ren Faire, as per tradition. ^^

Sunday, maybe?

I won’t be able to but tell me how it goes!

I'd be okay with Sunday. It's only about a half hour away.

What I like about this one is the room capacity is fairly small.

I'm in for Sunday!

Also! Happy Birthday!

yes, in. it's right around the corner from ben & Irvs which has FANTASTIC food

the challah french toast there is superb.

I was thinking maybe we could all find someplace to eat afterward.

I was just there tuesday.

So that sounds great.

and I mean right around the corner...

What time do you guys like? They have every time slot on that day open still.

well how many people will we have you think?

All of us would be 6, which would fill up the 1409 room. The other room allows up to 8.

we wanna do early or later in the day?

I'm free whenever

on Saturday I was thinking of checking out the fall festival in Skippack, if anyone else is interested

Ooh, I didn't know that was happening. Maybe it's time to buy fancy cheese again.

Brandon prefers earlier in the day.

Skippack Days - Festivals In Pennsylvania

I mean, it doesn’t have to be super early, I just don’t want to have to rush if we eat and hang out after

Also fancy cheese yes

Yesssss

Escape room yes, fancy cheese yes, or yes to everything?

Escape room yes, I am not the biggest on fancy cheese

If there's six of us, then we could buy out the room for a small discount.

I think it's $30 per person but $160 for the whole room.

i mean there are lots of other things in Skippack besides fancy cheese

Like fancy pastries!

How about either 11am or 12:15 for the escape room? then we can all get lunch after.

I'm down for that and then lunch.

that sounds fun for me!

I'm in

Oh shit wait

Del will be here

he's coming up for my bday stuff

then we can just do the 8 person room right?

Yay more people!

Lan me Furikuchan flutterpony FullOfBees nyarlathotepjr oceanica

If we could get one more, it'd be even more perfect

Aethramyr ?

Yeah they have an eight person room too. The premise is that you're detectives solving the mystery of some missing kids.

What about doing the 12:30 time slot for that one?

I'm down but fair warning I am USELESS in escape rooms

Screaming and flailing uselessly is half the fun of escape rooms.

Watching FullOfBees scream for an hour is the best part. Only better when combined with Spazy

12:30 sounds good!

Does somebody want to go in and reserve the whole room for us and then everyone can pay them back with cash or Venmo or whatever

Last time I went with you guys I started wearing all the clues.

FullOfBees: We'd only get a discount that way if we fill the whole room. And I think we're at 7 people?

Ohhh

But we can still reserve the time for that many people, right?

Like, without paying in advance?

Or do all of us need to hop on there and pay to reserve the time slot

I think we need to get it in advance. I just checked and it's $200 to reserve the entire 8 person room. $30 per person if we go individually.

Okay so everybody get on there and get your tickets

Oh hang on. It turns out 30x7 is 210. So maybe it is better just to buy the room?

That does work out to less per person, or just means one of us has to eat the cost upfront and get paid back

Wait, what?

I am so confused now. Is one person getting it or everyone getting their own?

I guess it's simpler if everyone just gets their own. Saving a few bucks is not worth the extra complication.

Yeah, especially if some people already did

Okay let's just get our own then.

Sunday at 12:30 then, yes?

Right.

Sunday, 12:30p, The Missing Five

Okay, I’m buying mine now

....okay so apparently buying for just one person is not possible?

You need at least 2 people to begin, so could you get mine and I'll just pay you back?

Furikuchan oceanica get yours!

Wait, what?

Did someone already buy theirs?

Otherwise I could just buy mine and Agnes together

1 is not an available number in the drop down

So I guess everybody is going to have to pay for themselves and someone else and get paid back

This is ridiculously complicated

FullOfBees: You need at least 2 for them to run the room at all. That why I asked if you would get mine and I'll pay you back.

And then other people will be able to pay individually!

?

Right.

Okay I paid for ours

nyarlathotepjr hellglass

Okay so no, I can't buy alone

Okay so everyone will have to buy in pairs or threes and pay each other back

Seriously? ugh. That's crazy.

oceanica do you want me to buy yours then?

If you can get the two of yours and Agnes, Jess can hopefully get Lan and then we’re good

This is not a super great interface they’re using here

I am going to give them shit about this lack of 1 ticket

Yeah that’s kind of ridiculous

"Guys, we can just have it be 2! Who ever heard of an odd number of guests?? hahaha"

WE NEED A GROUP OF 3!

i can venmo some one

okay, Del, Agnes, and I booked

i'm so lost

i leave for lunch and this is what happens!!!

i asked Jay, he said he's busy i think?? but anyway

do i owe someone $30 or am i not in or what is happening

You can’t pay individually, so either you or Jess will need to pay for both of you upfront

nyarlathotepjr if you can buy yours and Lans then we'll be set

gotten, hellglass you are good to go

missing 5, 06-oct 12:30

Wooooo

the Hatboro train station is ten minutes away and i can get there at noon. can someone pick me up there?

the Philmont station is also ten minutes away, in a different direction on a different train line. that will get me there at 11:55.

hatboro is the more convenient one coming from the burbs

ok! I'll be there at noon then

I know that's a little early so I can just wait for a bit

ummm there's a chance I'm going to have to go to Philmont

for whatever reason, none of the trolleys have shown up

and I'm probably going to miss the train now

I'll text you updates nyarlathotepjr

ok
