Hmm, you would "register" to attend ahead of time (just like you would sign up for games, to play in tourneys, for workshops and talks) - but that's really so that they can get a room that's the right size for the people, prepare communion cups (apparently what they use for prison ministry: 2-in-1 - you peel back the top for the wafer, and another layer for the "wine").

Joseph tells me that the praise/songs part of worship used to be lead by a guitarist, but he died unexpectedly a few years ago. Ever since then, they have switched to following a taped or cued recording. Everyone follows along with printed lyrics. A hired preacher (pastor) delivers the sermon. It's a little strange to see people in costume (think male with long-haired wigs) coming to worship, but hey, we're at Gen Con and Jesus loves them all :)

The only deep-fried novelty that I would go back to is the deep-fried bacon...Mmmm, mmmm.

I have had essentially the same 2 experiences. TBK is all over the great service. Sounds like you had the same waitress as we did @the41 - uninterested, unaware, bored etc. Saw the 'specials' menu advertised on twitter only to walk into the restaurant and have her say she had no idea what we were talking about. Too bad!

really?! on the FLOOR?! That's just gross. Pub or not, you're not supposed to just chuck things on the floor =P

Hurray to free desserts! It didn't even seem like something they had to do. I think I would've been happy to have the dish re-made for me =P
