One of the things that prompted this exchange was how Chef Bill is accommodating us on the move to the new (larger) location in April. Two things stand out:
1) They were originally planning on closing the old location on Sunday, April 15, moving everything over the next few days, and opening in the new location (not far down the road) on Wednesday, April 18. When I told him that this was going to be in the middle of the new Traveling Trophy tournament, he said (without a moment's hesitation), "Oh, OK--we'll let you in to the old place that Tuesday night so you can play." This would, I assume, mean they will be paying staff to attend just to us for that night, too. Wow.
2) When they were doing the interior redesign of the new location, they went out of their way to create a special room--away from the noise and with its own large screen--that will be our playing area. Double Wow.
Such attention to the concerns of trivia players is rare, and I believe ought to be rewarded. I drive even farther than Bigdog to get there, but I think it is well worth the trip.
