They're usually pretty generous at N.A. - don't think Dave'll turn you away unless you get all rowdy and 'Sivest11' on him.

Reminds me of an item on the news last week were a girl had announced a party, at her home' on MySpace. Her parents were away and around 60 young people turned up and trashed the house.I doubt if that'd ever happen in a bookshop.
It'll be interesting to see how Borderlands does having Launch Party on a Friday the 13th.
