Thanks to Mary's advanced planning, the staff of the Arms Hotel ran like a well-oiled machine. Gunther was front and center today, greeting MercCon participants while anxiously watching for Bobby Flay and the crew from the Food Network. In the meantime, he had a mobile cook-top station set up in the middle of the lobby, whipping up some of his specialties so he'd be ready when Bobby arrived.
[Please use the threads below for checking in, lounging and mingling in the lobby, and so on. Additional MercCon activities will be going up in a separate post. You are more than welcome to mod the crazy German as my availability will be limited. Additional information about the Arms Hotel can be found
here. I will be shutting off notifications shortly, so if you have any hotel questions, e-mail me at not.a.showgirl@gmail.com and I will get back to you as soon as possible. No, Bobby Flay will not be making an appearance, but Gunther refuses to believe that. ETA: And in my rush to post this and make my dinner reservations on time, I forgot that the check-in post was set to screen comments. It's been fixed.]
