Home Opener Watch Party (will be held in Lakewood, post #87)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Let me know where this is all going to go down and I'll promise to be within 250 miles of the event when the party starts.
 
I'm there if b00bie is :bigthumbup:

Seriously, tho, I may make an appearance... Don't know if you can count me as a "head", though.

When we went to Nick's for the LBJ banner, I remember being a little lost until WUJU introduced himself. Perhaps, if we do this, it'd be a good idea to have a place clearly for RCF, so people don't aimlessly walk around looking for an introduction.
 
I've got tickets but if the party is still rolling after the game I'd make an appearance.

I know how bad you want be at the RCF watch party, so I'll do you a solid and go to the game with your tickets. It's the least I can do.
 
Things to consider:

Downtown parking will be inflated, greatly. Not saying this to deter the downtown location. It's just something that needs to be known. I will be contacting Winking Lizard (they do have a great deal of huge tv screens) - I'm not sure where else would give us a huge view of the game. If someone else is more familiar with bars/restaurant locations downtown, please advise.

I see we have 15 saying "yes" -- I'm going to multiple that by 2, assuming that there will be those who are bringing friends/loved ones.
**Doughnuts are a must** (so, the location will also have to be ok with bringing outside food.)

Again, if anyone else has insight, please give it.

Name tags may be needed.
 
Well....there is the upstairs at Harry Buffalo which has an upstairs that you may be able to rent, TV's aren't great if I recall..there is Panini's.... of course Winking Lizard all in the Q district. All of these places will likely be a mess that night, but that is part of the fun. Just ideas, like I said, I am already planning to watch in Lakewood. Winking Lizard in Lakewood is pretty huge if you need to audible.

Selfishly, I like Lakewood (the place is huge. The tv's are also huge)... and I can walk there.

If we're not doing downtown Cleveland directly, my vote is for the Quaker Steak and Lube in Valley View. It's a good central location for a lot of people in Northeast Ohio.
 
Update:

I have emailed Winking Lizard and waiting to hear back from them. We will go over location and everything else that needs to be done. I gave a number of roughly 30 (just to be on the safe side).

@shoes22 - Not sure how conducive Valley View may be. I feel that if we can get the downtown Winking Lizard (or if someone has a better idea), parking is just going to have to be an issue that we all need to be aware of. Downtown Cleveland is going to be insane that night.
 
I wanted to come home for the opener but couldn't get a good seat - I'll be home in spirit.
 
I will be speaking with someone from Winking Lizard tomorrow afternoon.

Please list any concerns/wants/needs if you have any ideas.

Thanks.
 
I talked with someone from Winking Lizard -
The Lakewood location was suggested because of it's space. All we would need to do is have someone get there early and get the tables. If this location is frowned upon, there is a Winks (E. 9th) -- as I know that some people want to be downtown. I asked about the Downtown location, and the suggestion was that it's far too small and everyone would be elbow to elbow.

She asked if we would be promoting this (facebook/twitter) - I told her more than likely, "yes". And I will be getting back to her on whether it's Winks or Lakewood Winking Lizard, by weeks end.

Please give some feed back on your thoughts.

** I also asked about bringing doughnuts (as this is a standard RCF practice) -- She's have to ask the GM, but said she sees no issue with it.

I'd prefer to be downtown. The Winks in the Galleria is ok, but the Winking Lizard on Prospect/Huron would be more Cavs Centric. Any which way, I will attend as long as I do not get Opener tickets.
 
I'm currently scheduled to be on-call for work that week. If I can switch that night with a co-worker, I'm in. I'm especially up for the Lakewood location, since I'm also a Lakewood resident :gay:
