This weekend at Cosmic Castle is going to be a BLAST!
Thursday evening starting at 7:00pm we have Our Thursday Dungeons & Dragons group heading back into the dungeon. We are open 5:00 to 9:00 pm
Friday evenung we have Friday Night Magic. Bring your cards and play with us. No particular format this week since it's Prerelease weekend. Magic is from 5:00 pm to 9:00pm The Portal is from 9:00 until Midnight when the Shadows over Innistrad MTG Prerelease begins.
Saturday into the wee hours of the morning (in the past it's been 6am) the prerelease continues. Saturday afternoon we open again at 3:00pm. There is a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament saturday afternoon at 3:30. Dungeons & Dragons Saturday group will be heading back into the dungeon around 7:00. Also there is MTG happening all afternoon/evening, and Yarn Club meets 7:00 to 9:00.
We are still saving for the electric work we will need done for the kitchen. In the mean time we have decided to take up all the carpet and paint the floor. #1 It will probably make the Health Inspector happier when they come to approve our restaurant license request. #2 Might as well do it now instead of later so there isn't any reason to close down later. #3 It will look and smell better in the long run. #4 It will be easier to keep clean and clean up any spills or messes. I could go on but I think you understand. For the next few weeks, please be patient with the mess and the dust. Eventually it's gonna be.....WOW.....in here.
How can you help? We are saving aluminum cans. Bring a bag of aluminum cans (during business hours please) and be entered in a drawing for a free sandwich, once the kitchen is open. Come play arcade games. Come play Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Dungeons & Dragons and purchase gaming cards, dice, sleeves, etc from us. You can also subscribe to our YouTube Channel. Watch and "LIKE" our videos (we plan to have a how to video out later this week).
Here are some pictures of the carpet removal process. We hope to have it all up by Thursday.
over half way here
most all of this was dirt swept up from under one section of carpet we removed.
Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to check out our YouTube channel!
We are making progress towards the new kitchen. We are getting close! We have also decided to take up ALL the carpet and paint the floor. It will be much better for everyone. Check out the progress video below, and while you're at it subscribe to our YouTube channel.
Yes I can believe We have neglected to keep the blog up. Does that mean we have been busy? Yes, it does. Here is a quick highlight of the past year.
We got off to a rough start in our new building. Everything was going good until we turned the water on. We ended up with a water leak under the sidewalk. Yes, on our side of the meter. Finally got that fixed.
During the summer we started hosting "The Portal" which is sponsored by Chris and Melinda. The Portal is a time for young adults (teen to early 20's) can come in and enjoy spending tome together playing games, chit chatting, and having fun.
In August we got set up with Wizards of the Coast to sell Magic the Gathering cards, decks, etc. We hosted our first ever prerelese in October. It was a grand event! We just made the requirements just in time. Our Wizards rep was quite impressed with our numbers considering the size of our town and that we were an arcade. :-)
In October we participated in the Monster March. Handed out a lot of candy to the local kids.
In December we participated in the Christmas Parade......and came away with an honorable mention with our "PacMan Fever" entry.
Did you see our video of Then and Now? If you haven't here it is. Pictures of the building right after we got it and pictures 1 year later.
Since then, we have been working on temporary kitchen up front. It will be a while until we can get the back fixed the way we want it to have our dream kitchen. We will share more about that in our next post.
