| - I came here to participate in a NEW event (Network of Executive Women). It was our Spring event and we were here to listen to Jon Gordon speak about books he had written, and words of inspiration. The place was filled to the brim with people. I was at table 26 and there were about 8 people per table, if that gives you any indication.
Since the parking lot is so small, the Big Chill had valet available. The valet worked so hard, they could not keep up with just the sheer amount of volume coming through. I sat in the valet line for about 15 minutes. Once I got out of my car, weaved my way through the tables and sat down, the presentation was great. They have a good stage area, and I think for the most part everyone could see very well.
The bathrooms were a bit tricky to access because of the amount of people, and could use some updating. We had lunch available, which was a buffet. They had amazing chicken. I don't know what was on it, but it was definitely a couple notches above the kind of food I expect from these venues. They did a good job at directing people when to go to the buffet. I think it took about 20 minutes to get to the line.
Once everything was over I think it also took about 20 minutes to get my car back from the valet. I think most people took advantage, so at the end there was a mad dash.
overall, great location, off Morehead, and great venue. Just be aware of parking (because the surrounding businesses will tow)!
