Q2 GameHaus meetup

Sat April 22 at 2:00 PM, GameHaus
1800 S Brand Blvd, Glendale, CA, USA (Map & Directions)
Time for another GameHaus meetup! No tabletop gaming experience necessary! GameHaus is a laughter-filled place in Glendale that has over 1000 games, from strategic board games to party games like Pictionary. We usually get a mix of experienced players to help guide us and people like me, who have never played most of the games, and everyone is really patient. It's always a great time.
UPDATE: zengargoyle has generously offered to put the RSVP on their card for us. Thank you!
I set the time at 2pm but there was a request for an earlier start. I'm good for 11am on.
_________________________________________
There is a flat cover charge which gives you unlimited time to play unlimited games. Once we pick a date we will definitely need to make a reservation a week or so out. Cover charge for an RSVP is a non-refundable $10.
I am happy to coordinate this but I will be unable to cover the up-front cost of making the RSVP this time, so hopefully someone will be able to float the $ until the meetup. (Last meetup I think it was $90.)
We usually spend about four hours there, so like last time I've set up a poll for four or five weekends with a choice of afternoon hours or evening hours. (We can narrow down exact times once we pick a date.)
There is no alcohol and no outside food permitted, but they have a small cafe with prepared food and desserts.

As a morning person, I'd be up for 11 or 12.

Room 641-A, is it possible to modify your poll to include 11a.m. - 3 p.m. as an option?

Yeah, sorry, I lost most of a week due to illness. Good idea. I'll update the poll and post the popular votes. After coffee and breakfast :)

Yay, I wanted to make the last one but couldn't make it. Hopefully this time. I'm in Glendale so it would be a total shame to miss it again.

Update: the most popular 11am slots are Saturday, April 22 and Sunday, April 30 (3 RSVPs each) and the most popular overall is Saturday, April 22 at 2pm (4 RSVPs.)
Should I go ahead and confirm this for 4/22 and figure out details there, or do people want more time to pick a date?

I am finally feeling better, sorry for leaving this hanging. I'm going to confirm this for 4/22 during the day, and we can figure out how early people want to start.

I can make it if it's at 2, but I might be a little late.

We should make the reservation in the next day or two, so if people can confirm their RSVP that would be great, thanks.

I'm going to the Science March, wearing a beautiful pussy hat made by @quietgal (to whom I owe a very big THANK YOU), so I'm​ a bit iffy for the Meet-up. It depends on how the march goes, and whether I stay for all the speeches.

Would anyone else be interested in meeting at 11, when it first opens, or noon, on a Saturday? I have tinnitus, and the noise level in the late afternoon and evening is hard on my poor ringing ears.😕
