They will soon enough... after they realize how much of an impact their meal cards has taken after only the first few days of welcome week.

You know... people kept telling me how much they were spending on food, but I spent 20 dollars a day, went home every 2-3 weeks, had the average meal plan, and had 700 dollars left when I had to move out. I dunno how people ran out of money like the month before. xD

That seems like it should be about right.... I think it might be because some people go to expensive places like the Bistro way too often :p.

Needless to say, I have pretty much a year's supply of Powerade at my disposal.

I was just about to post that we should probably meet on campus since not everyone will be as familiar with the area as we may think. There's also a point about commuting with a bunch of strangers that was raised earlier, but in all honesty we could just socialize on the bus, or even walk (heck, it's only like a 10 minute walk from campus to BP)
So again, since I have to get into the habit of putting my foot down, I'll say meet up at McMaster at 5:00pm ish in the MUSC Atrium, and leave 5:30pm to...walk...to Boston Pizza.
If anyone has any direct concerns or conflicts with that please let me know...but I figured it should be set up in such a way because:
-Why meet at Mac first? Some people may not know where Boston Pizza is. Also, this way we could meet up and start getting to know each other at Mac and on the walk/ride over to BP. It'll be good times (I hope!)
-Why the half hour wait? We won't know exactly how many people will be in attendance. I'd hate for us to leave and then someone who has no idea where BP is would show up being unable to attend. A half hour window gives people plenty of time to show up if 'Life happens' so to speak. (:
-Why the MUSC Atrium? I dunno, because I've got no better ideas. xD I'd imagine it won't be so hard to pick people out of a crowd, particularly if we all wear our "Hello, My name is" nametags (lol Temara)
-Why walking? I like walking :p But if anyone disagrees, be it for medical reasons, or just because you have a general distaste for walking we could naturally, take the bus instead.
My major concern is that someone is diabetic / hypoglycemic and used to an early dinner. Please let me know if having dinner at 6:00pm ish is too late for you. We could always push it half an hour forward.

I agree with meeting on campus, even though I passed by it a few times, I would prefer going there as a group

Speaking on that specific Boston Pizza, has anyone gone there lately? I went there early in July with my friends and we got this waiter who was kind of weird and kept on coming back and talking to us every 5 minutes. He talked for literally ten minutes straight about how the Boston Pizza hamburger doesn't even compare to the Licks hamburger and how his boss was a pretty cool guy... it was really awkward and I kept having to pretend laugh to keep it from becoming incredibly awkward :p.
