Event is now 80% 85% 90% sold out!

In our current configuration, our event is now 80% 85% 90% sold out! If you don't have your tickets yet, get them quickly! Click here to be redirected to the ticket sales page.

If we sell these out quickly, we may be able to go back to the Columbia Tower Club and negotiate for them to open up more space, but it's not guaranteed. Also, tickets will very likely not be available at the door, but if they are, they will be extremely limited and will cost $50. Best to avoid this hassle and make sure you secure yours in advance.

Current ticketholders will receive an email on Friday with all the details (parking, where to go on Saturday morning, etc). Stay tuned!

Signature Drinks at TableTop Day ... AND we are 50% sold out!

We are now halfway to a sellout for TableTop Day on Top of the World. Don't have your tickets yet? Better get them while you still can. This link will take you to the ticket sales page.

To celebrate, why not have a drink? Here are the signature drinks that you will be able to get at the event.

GALLIFREY DOUBLE SUNRISE
A sweet and tart cocktail with a cherry kick to it that rounds it out very nicely.



Ingredients for Gallifrey Double Sunrise:

• 1 oz Pineapple Juice
• 1 oz Lime Juice
• Orange Juice
• Grenadine

THE TICK BLUEBERRY LEMONADE
Either have the bartender hand the person a spoon when they hand them the drink or put a tall spoon in the glass for them to walk around with. It’s sort of a “thing” with the Tick.

• 1 oz. Blueberry liqueur
• 1 oz. Vodka
• 1 Blue Twizzler

The Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver
Ah! Big, flashy, lighty thing, that’s what brought me here! Big, flashy, lighty things have got me written all over them! Not actually, but give me time. And a crayon.



Ingredients for The Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver:

• 1 shot vodka
• 1 shot blue curacao
• 1 splash Rose Blue Raspberry Mix
• Fill glass with orange juice (to color)

Love Potion #8.5
Inspired by the drink of the same name in The Sims 2

TableTop Day: How you can help!

I've had a few people ask me how they can get involved with our TableTop Day event. There certainly are things you can do, but before I get to them, a little disclosure. This event is a not for profit event. The Columbia Tower has graciously knocked $2000 off of their regular club rental price, without which, there's no way this could have happened. For some reason, having 200 highly intelligent movers and shakers from the Seattle area visit their venue was appealing to them, so they worked with me. I wanted to charge $10 for tickets. At their normal rates, I would have had to charge $25. We settled on $15 because, at the end of the day, they have to pay their staff that's going to come in on a Saturday and cook/serve/cater to us. If I personally come out in the black on this event (which is not guaranteed, by the way), I will be donating the proceeds to charity.

Now, how to help.

1. The number one way you can help this event to succeed is to go to this Facebook event right now, click the Invite Friends button and invite ALL of your gamer friends. And your friends that you think might make good gamers (the "faux nerds", if you will). And then invite randoms, because who knows? Maybe they're closet gamers.
2. You can also "Like" the Dawgsled Events Facebook Page and follow us on Twitter.
3. We will have some games at the event, but as it stands right now, we won't have enough for 200 people (although that could change if negotiations for a partnership with a to-be-named game store work out), so you're encouraged to bring your favorite game. Show others why you love it so much!
4. Lastly, if you haven't bought your ticket yet, you can buy yours here. We've sold 60 tickets already, but we need to get that number up to 200. There is plenty of room on the top floor of the club to accommodate this number, but if we blow the doors off of that, there's a chance we could expand this event even further
5. Finally, if you're a game store owner or a game developer and would like to discuss a partnership with our event, please get in touch by sending an email to dawgsledevents [at] gmail [dot] com.

That's all for now! Thanks to everyone for the great response this event has received so far! Please help us keep the momentum going, and PLAY MORE GAMES!

Ladies! You get to use this restroom on TableTop Day!

Some of you may already know this, but for those of you who don't, the Columbia Tower Club's women's restroom is one of the most famous in the country. Each stall has it's own view of the world below. Read more about it in this blurb from Popular Mechanics. Side note: The author of this post, who is not female, may or may not have first-hand knowledge of what this bathroom really looks like.

Confirmed! TableTop Day on Top of the World will be happening! In the meantime, please excuse our dust...

Dawgsled Events has reached an agreement with the Columbia Tower Club to let us come and completely take over the top (76th) floor of the Columbia Tower for an International Table Top Day extravaganza!

But before we get to details, please excuse our dust.  If it looks like this site and the various other supporting sites for this event were thrown together in a rush--well, they were.  Barely 36 hours ago, Geek & Sundry launched International Table Top Day.  In that short amount of time, we created this blog, a Facebook page, a Facebook event, a Twitter account, behind the scenes hookups for all of the above, a ticket sales page on shindigg.com, contacted the Columbia Tower Club, negotiated with the same, and submitted our event to Geek & Sundry, all so we could be live in time for Emerald City Comicon this weekend.  So our stuff may look rushed now, but we'll be making it all pretty in the next couple weeks.

Now, on to what you can expect from the party!  We will have games, games and more games!  We will have tables set up in both of the banquet rooms on the 76th floor.  Your $15 ticket also gets you a catered buffet lunch!  $15 won't even cover the cost of one meal at most downtown restaurants.  At our party, you get games, food, games, comraderie with friends old and new, and the best views in town for a solid 6 hours! Oh, and games.

We also have access to several "break out" rooms.  Comic Book and Game stores, I'm looking at you, here!  Email DawgsledEvents@gmail.com if you would like to discuss sponsorship opportunities!  Let's turn this into a mini Seattle gaming convention!

Much, much more to come in the coming days!  Please take a couple minutes and "Like" Dawgsled Events on Facebook:
