BS @ TAO - June 7th

[nighthawk06si]

Thanks guys. I contacted Chris and he got back to me right away. He set me up with a one bottle minimum. He can't tell me the table location until we get there, understandably, but with such a low minimum, I'm afraid it might be in a bad location. Any advise on which tables to avoid? I've read of a couple experiences on this forum where groups got to change tables during the night. Is it common to switch tables after everything is settled?

In my experience, on a busy night, usually not common to find yourself/group moving to a better table location. Unless you decide to take extra care of your host ($$$) and let him know you want to settle elsewhere then the location you were set up with. If you want assurance that you won't be put in a crappy location then agree to a 2 bottle min so Chris can get you a better location than a 1 bottle min table.

Chris will definitely take care of you tho, I had the pleasure of meeting him 2 weekends ago and he definitely took care of JC people.
I would say get there really early considering it's EDC week/weekend to make Chris's job easier and getting you a good table but you won't be arriving till prime time so it's all up to luck what spot you'll get for the night.

I actually booked two tables that night. I believe its called lower skybox. 4500 min each table for up to 22 guys each. Decent price and I like the larger room type of table. Basically my goal was less than 300$ each so even at 20/table it works.

can anyone tell me the bottle pricing? I read online that it starts at 350 and goose/belvi/jd are 375. Can anyone confirm this? So if that's accurate then 12 bottles for 20 should be sufficient, well theoretically anyways lol.

and is it 30% that you're supposed to add for tax/tip or 20% plus 8.5%? I've never had to organize tables before.

thanks.

Ah so regardless of event it should stay the same right?

And just to confirm, the tax will be calculated off of the 4500 correct? Excluding tip? I don't wana ask my host too many $ questions lol. I just want to knw how much to collect from the guys. Thanks again.

The tax and tip is calculated off your final bill, if that's $4500 exactly, then yes. Don't worry about asking the host too many questions, you're spending YOUR money to have a good time, you should be very clear about all the details.

Yea tru that. Ok thanks for the info.

If you spend $4500 then tax will be $366 and tip will be $900. Assuming you do like $500 host tip you're looking at $6300. If it were me...I'd add an extra $20 per person on top of that to cover the other tips (security, runner, bathroom attendants) cause someone will get stuck with those tips. And, you'll want to have a little cushion for going over your minimum. It's easier to give some money back than to hit people up for more.
