Check with farmer Browns in sf
They make GREAT CHICKEN
Mac n cheese greens
All that
Or man real talk
Man I can cook my *** off
I can get there a few hours early and throw down in the kitchen if I can get a few helpers
 
Because Mediterranean > Soul food...
In this case, multiple course Mediterranean food >>>> a pile of fried okra and black eyed pea fritters.  Some people are coming a long way, so we wanted to offer more of a meal than that.

I'm definitely done making promises about food, so I can't tell you for sure what will be there, but one menu item mentioned to me was falafel - and I don't know too many people who dislike that.  

It should be good food, and I can tell you that we actually went OVER budget on it and are going out of pocket to make sure that we're doing our best to provide food that everyone can enjoy.

I'd rather not sandbag them, especially since I wasn't directly involved in the negotiations and can only offer speculation and hearsay.  

No cooking will be necessary.  You're our guest.  Food WILL be provided and you won't have to bring anything.  

When I was told we'd be serving soul food at the event, I guess it was just assumed to be a done deal because they were available on that date (some of our top choices were not) and offer catering services.  You would think it'd just be "take my money", end of story.  It turns out that it was far more complicated than it should've been, and so we had to go a different way.  Now, though, it's obviously a done deal and we're no longer in need of options.  The arrangements have already been made and we're good to go.  

Again, I regret that the information I gave you earlier was tentative and ultimately proved inaccurate.  
 
Never had falafel
Googled it
Looks like a pita filled with crusted balls
First time for everything
 
Methodical Management Methodical Management That fact that this event is happening at all is enough. That fact that there will be meals served is just icing on the cake, no matter what it may be. Huge thanks to you, Wikia and everyone involved
 
Anyone else think Meth is gonna be there incognito as a normal member, or hell, pretending to be one of the caterers? :nerd:

For all we know, he works for Wikia and that's why this event is happening. He'll be in the background as an employee over watching like a father of his baby.

I thought it was confirmed that Method Man was a computer?

Excited to meet Nelson C, gonna thank him for creating this site which has been a huge part of my life.

Meth, since you won't be there, Thank you for your contributions to this site. I really did grow up on here :lol:

PS, one of my favorite Meth moments was when the guy replied to you with "Didn't Read lol" and you posted a screenshot of his account with a "Can't post lol"
 
Damn, wish i could go... If anything it be nice if anybody gets some footage and links us so we know this is being legit. JK :lol: :nthat:

To be clear regarding WIkia's relationship with NT:  Wikia acquired Huddler in 2014.  The idea of hosting a NikeTalk Live event at Wikia HQ is actually the brainchild of @HuddlerSteph  and @HuddlerLuis.  They're the (hopefully) proud parents who will be watching over things on site Sunday alongside @Nelson C, the real father of NikeTalk.  

Please do not start bothering catering staff, volunteers, or any stray Wikians who might also be on premises that day about a warning you received 4 years ago.  They're not me and they're not going to know what the hell you're talking about. 

I think it's going to be a great event, and I'm proud to be associated with it, but I live on the opposite side of the country and somebody has to manage the website while everyone else is having fun.  

You guys know as well as I do that if the entire staff were out partying down in SF this weekend, NT would turn into Hamsterdam in about 15 minutes.  (Especially with all the sneaker releases during ASW.)  
I thought it was confirmed that Method Man was a computer?
That reminds me, in addendum to the previous request:  Please do not start kicking random computers in attempt to evaluate their sentience.  

We'd like to be able to do this again at some point. 
I know u like ur privacy
But damn man just one time I'd like to have a serious convo with u
U seem like a cool *** dude in person
And can chop it up about anything
I appreciate the kind words, but it's not like the only way to converse with somebody is to see them in person.  I'd like to think that NikeTalk's forums, and pretty much every other online communications platform, have proven otherwise.  
 
Mediterranean food is the soul food of Europe

you guys will love it

Huge kudos to @Methodical Management  and all the NTers/staff that put in work to set this up 
I appreciate it, but the real thanks belong to @Nelson C, @Jumpmanst, @INSTYLESHOES, @HuddlerLuis   and @HuddlerSteph.   (Most, if not all, of whom you'll get to meet at the event!)

Without them, this wouldn't have taken shape.  I don't deserve the credit just because I'm handling the invites and have time for the Q&A.  
Damn, wish i could go... If anything it be nice if anybody gets some footage and links us so we know this is being legit. JK

:nthat:
As mentioned earlier, there will be a professional photographer there to take pictures and we'll also have video from the Wikia Fan Studio, so those of us who can't make it in person can still get a sense of what it was like.  
 

I'm hoping we can also extend the charity auction to allow all members to participate, but we'll have to wait and see if that's feasible.  *fingers crossed*

I'm hyped
Sunday gonna be :pimp:

As you should be fam, the big weekend has arrived! Happy for all that will be in attendance and even more ecstatic about the progressive direction the NT community is moving towards to! I'll be tuned in heavy on the forum for hopeful media content to be posted. Excited for you NT family :nthat:
 
Damn....I don't know anyone on that list. Haha. All good.

And trust me....Mediterranean food is good. It's really not that far of a stretch for people to like it.

Maybe if u seen their avy u would know
But I kinda had the same thought
Except for like 3 folks I can't place the other sn's
 
Okay guys, I have to fall on this grenade...


When answering your questions re: catering, I was under the impression that the vendor selection was a done deal.  Unfortunately, it turns out that the soul food restaurant we'd all hoped to have cater the event was unwilling to work with Wikia to provide the food we wanted for an event of this size.

Specifically, they only wanted to serve appetizers and the minimum order they asked for was more in line with a large wedding feast than a meet-up event for 30-40 people.  

The only thing more disappointing than telling you guys we won't be serving soul food after all would be to serve you $1,500 worth of fried okra, with none of the main courses or side dishes you'd expect when you think of soul food.  


The good news is that our friends at Wikia were able to make arrangements with another caterer, one that will ensure that there is a MAIN DISH available for every single guest.

So, instead of soul food, we'll have Mediterranean food at the event.  


My apologies to those who had their hearts set on soul food as a result of my premature answer. 

For what it's worth, I'm told the Mediterranean food looks awesome, and I hope you'll all enjoy it.    

No need to apologize at all, this is a free event that sounds like it will be the best Nike Talk Summit ever.
 
to the NT head honchos, lets make this pop on the eastcoast too.

that is all. thanks...
