Well, I have the room, I have started purchasing snacks and beverages, and I have found a bakery near the hotel that specializes in cupcakes and I expect they will be able to make the flintmint cupcakes I have come up with for the party. (red velvet cake, and a mint flavored buttercream frosting. Slap your sinuses silly strength mint flavoring) Big Gulp party will be saturday evening. Look for the party signs with the room number and starting time. Party has to close the doors at midnight due to convention rules.

I'll also be dealing blackjack in the game room friday evening. No tournament this year, as the hassles of running a tournament were getting out of hand. (basically there were a couple of players who were so intent on winning that they were breaking the rules, and policing that was sucking all the fun out of it for us.)

Edit:
The bakery responded. They will be happy to make those cupcakes for me. For $48 per dozen. Just a wee tiny bit over my budget. So I'm looking for alternatives.

Edit oct 18.
A unlikely request bore fruit, or rather pies. I'm getting from the TableTalk Pie company 8 dozen pies for the cost of stopping by the factory on the way down to the con. They will be all the cosmetic rejects from the production that day. I get whatever flavors they happen to be running that day. But hey, free! There will be pie! Yay!
