Default Bay Area S2ki Holiday Party

So after a one year break, the annual Bay Area S2ki Holiday Party is back. The party will be held at the same place as before, The San Ramon Marriot/Stixx and Steak Restaurant. Fellow S2ki'er, Ron (black_mango) is a chef there and will help prepare the meal. We will have dinner first, followed by the white elephant gift exchange, and then an after party.






Date : January 10th, 2009
Time : 7 PM
Place : San Ramon Marriot


2600 Bishop Dr.
San Ramon
(925) 867-9200
Map


Dinner menu
Chicken Pesto Penne w/ roasted chicken, sun dried tomatoes pesto and pine nuts in a parmesan sauce - $45

Chilean Sea Bass w/ fingerling potatoes in a chive butter sauce - $ 63 Changed to Salmon.

12oz Ribeye w/ potatoes and vegetables - $65

All items include soup of the day, Caesar or Cobb salad, and a choice of dessert. Tax and tip has already been included in the prices as well, so everyone knows exactly what they need to bring. Alcohol is not included and can be purchased at the bar.

White elephant gift exchange
Rules for White Elephant Gift
All gifts should have a value of $15-$25. Use your imagination to make it fun.
Participants bring their gifts wrapped or sealed in a gift bag, and often take care to hide the contents of the gift and the identity of the giver.
Gifts are placed in a designated area.
Participants draw numbers to see who goes first, second, etc.
Participants may not fall asleep or "rest their eyes" during any portion of the game.

How to Play:
The guest who has drawn #1 goes first. He/she chooses a gift from the gift pile, opens the gift for all to see, and keeps it for the time being.

The guest who has drawn #2 goes next. He/she can either choose to take an unopened gift from the gift pile or to steal a gift from any previous gift-opener.

Allow each subsequent person to either unwrap a new gift, or steal any of the gifts previously opened. If someone's gift is stolen, that person can immediately unwrap a new one or steal another gift.

Continue until someone unwraps a new gift, then proceed onto the next number. The fourth owner of a gift gets to keep it. The gift is dead after it has been stolen three times. It may not be stolen once there has been three owners. Owners of live gifts must keep them visible and hold them up when requested.

After all turns have been taken, the person who has drawn #1 has the option of taking one more turn since they had the disadvantage of not knowing what any of the now-opened presents were in the beginning. However, they may NOT take any dead gifts nor may they steal back any gift that was stolen from them. This gives them the opportunity to steal something they like better but at the same time, places SOME limits on what they can take. If there are no limits to #1 then they might as well sit back, relax, wait 'til everyone else is finished playing and then snatch whatever they want!


We will have our own private room for the meal and gift exchange, so the party is on. The party is open to all, but please bring an adult attitude.
