I agree. This worked fine at the most recent Boston FUDCon, and I notice they have chips+salsa and crackers+cheese on the menu for veggiesauruses.
As a vegetarian (non-vegan) I can't say I'm *thrilled* with the non-meat options but being the location that it is I'm not surprised. It would be great to have something more substantial for non-meat-eaters (ex. samosas or mini veggie burgers) but I realize we're a small minority and thus won't harp on it any more :)
Yeah, sorry if I wrote that off too quickly Andrew. I talked to Chris earlier (he's having some email problems today) and he is exploring some more substantial options with D&B as we speak. They've already told us they can come up with something better, so hold tight while we spin up another edition of the paperwork! :-)

We went to D&B's for a Christmas party once. It was fun, and I wasn't paying for our "Power Cards" but I go the feeling that they were probably rip-offs. Things are more social with pool tables than with video games anyway ;)
I tend to agree, a video game (in a lot of cases) sort of separates you from everyone else. Some of them at the D&B I visited in Maryland about 8 or so years ago were group participation, but it was the exception rather than the rule. Having the option for people who are "social'd out" is probably a plus, but we can just let those people pay their own way. The rest of us will all be sharing group hugs and Fedora gang signs. ;-)
