You authorize the use, reproduction, publication, modification, and distribution of these materials for any lawful purpose—including but not limited to social media, marketing, promotional content, and future event advertising—in any and all media formats, now known or later developed. You waive any right to inspect or approve the final use of your likeness and release the organizers from any claims relating to the use of your image, including rights of publicity or compensation. *** **Disclaimer:** The event organizer(s) are not affiliated with this venue or any of its partners, affiliates, or associates. The event organizer(s) receive no financial incentives, perks, or benefits of any kind from the venue. They are attending this event as regular paying customers and have personally reserved the space at their own expense. In doing so, the organizer(s) are incurring a personal financial loss. Any claims or speculation suggesting that the organizer(s) are receiving financial kickbacks, special treatment, or undisclosed benefits from the venue are entirely false. *** **Release of Liability** By attending Board Game Night, you agree to release and hold harmless the event organizers, venue, affiliates, and partners from any and all liability, claims, damages, or injuries that may occur before, during, or after the event. You acknowledge that participation in any activities carries inherent risks, and you assume full responsibility for your safety and well-being. \*\*\* **Respect & Conduct (read carefully)** All attendees are expected to treat others, the venue, and game components with respect. That means: no abusive language, no physical aggression, no intentional damage to games or personal property, and no major behavioral disruptions that interfere with other people’s ability to enjoy the event. If you damage someone’s game pieces, equipment, or personal property, or if you cause a major behavioral disruption, you **will be banned** from future events. There are no exceptions for repeated offenses — damage or major disruption = **banned**. \*\*\* ⚠️**Waitlist Policy**: If you are on the **waitlist** and show up to the event **without an RSVP confirmation**, you will be considered a **walk-in** and subject to both a **late registration fee of $50.00 and a walk-in fee of $25.00**. **Failure to pay this fee will result in a permanent ban from the group.** This policy ensures fairness to all members who properly RSVP and helps us manage space, materials, and overall event quality. Thank you for your cooperation. **Active Community Fee Policy** Starting March 9, 2026, attendees are subject to an Active Community Fee of up to $25 per calendar year. For events where this fee applies, $5.00 per event will be charged and credited toward the attendee’s $25.00 annual Active Community Fee until the full $25.00 has been paid for that calendar year. Once an attendee has satisfied the full $25.00 requirement, no additional Active Community Fee will be owed for the remainder of that same calendar year, provided the attendee remains active under the attendance requirement described below. This fee is a condition of continued participation in the community and is intended to support committed, ongoing attendance. Satisfaction of the $25.00 Active Community Fee grants the attendee the privilege of continued participation in eligible events for the remainder of that calendar year, without further Active Community Fee charges, unless that status is later reset under this policy. To remain current under this policy, an attendee must continue attending at least one event within every rolling three-month period after beginning payment toward the Active Community Fee. If an attendee stops attending for more than three months, their progress toward the $25.00 annual requirement resets. In that case, the attendee must begin again at $5.00 per applicable event until the $25.00 requirement is satisfied again. This policy resets with each new calendar year. Regardless of prior participation, all attendees must satisfy the Active Community Fee again in the next calendar year under the same terms. If an attendee is removed, banned, or denied future participation due to misconduct, disrespectful behavior, disruptive conduct, or other policy violations, any amounts previously paid toward the Active Community Fee are non-refundable. Payment of the fee does not create a right to attend and does not guarantee continued access to events. Participation remains a privilege and is always subject to organizer discretion and community standards. By attending, you acknowledge and agree to this fee policy.

You had me at Brazilian buffet

Join me again for another night of dining and mingling. This time, it's back to Pampas Grill in Culver City. It's Brazilian food, cafeteria style: you grab a plate, and choose what you want from the extensive, winding food buffet featuring sweet plantains, black beans, rice, pasta, grilled potato wedges, a plethora of salad and fresh fruit options, desserts, and ending at the grilled meat counter where you can choose from three different kinds of sirloin, two different grilled chickens, lamb, and - if that's not decadent enough - juicy sausages. I know, right? There are a few bars in the area that we could check out after dinner. Not necessarily bar hopping - we can just find one that's not too crowded or noisy where we can hang out and enjoy each others' company a little longer.
